Maggie will start off Logic seminar by walking us through the definition of an enthymeme from our Chapter 5 exercises.

Latin
Keep up your readings and work on exercises from Lesson 4 on Verb Tenses.
Note how Cicero uses direct and indirect questions in his oration against Catiline.
As Cicero stands up and presents a case to Catiline's wickedness and anarchy, how does Cicero address the authorities, the senate, that are slow in carrying out justice?
What can we learn about rhetoric from Cicero's example?
