On the Laws
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Lu par Geoffrey Edwards
On the Laws (Latin: De Legibus) was written shortly after Cicero's "On the Commonwealth" during the last years of the Roman Republic. The three surviving books (out of an original six), in order, expound on Cicero's beliefs in Natural Law, recast the religious laws of Rome (in reality a rollback to the religious laws under the king Numa Pompilius) and finally talk of his proposed reforms to the Roman Constitution.

Critiques
hard going
Marcus Benecke
The voice is consistent but the atypical intonation and monotone was too hard to listen through to the end. I'll have to read this one instead. The volunteers have done good work, just do not always reach an audience.
Patiently and clearly read
Sedenbo
Making this seminal natural law text available to a wider audience is a great service. Responsibly presented.
Ron
So inspiring, feel like the new politicians need to hear this Mandatory .
A well executed reading
Kyle
Did Cicero and Mitchell Edwards proud! Great production
A LibriVox Listener
Very well done, and he pronounced the Latin names properly, except Cicero's!
orator sucks
Robert Corker
Uses weird inflection and emphasizes the wrong syllable of many words. To distracting to gain meaning from, much less enjoy
can't listen
Higgo
can not understand the reading, far to distracted by VERY frequent inflections, is this a bad AI voice?
the orator was disciplined
austin
who knows how many times it was changed but it does offer thought to their descriptions of gods
