us cotnpttrc their actions, conslering' at tht

I Censor tvtts m-ire austere, and lived atatinn-
rt-hen it was less neceslan' t be so; const qurntlv

from a partfcular turn of mind. He gained at
first, some reputation as an orator, but it was bt-
'ause he was very violent in his pjeadirg'-

tr.M sjlvr,
.es with which he was charged, than tht ceco-
nomy ol ih' pubrlc treasure : Cato fill into a
aviion, and abandoned both the questotshij
tiid the army. When he was Praetor, he vas
1 jut'g of the most perfect integrity ; but his
seventy was insupporLtbie. Aitived at iht
Itonrtnrs of the coiisuishi-, he was sent into
Spain, wh'.re he sbon found himstlf stirrbund
d with enemies, which he owed, perhaps,, ti
he stubbornness of his character. PtrCeivin,
'hat it was necesaary to rt lx from his severity,
he took out from the public treasure two hun
drvdtalmts, with which he corrupted part of
the Spaniards, and opposing themtoeach other,
conquered them all ; razed the walls of their
dtirs, and received in Home triumphalhonors.
fter having bwen ten J ears Consul, he-solicited
the censorship which he obtained : arid ne
ver was that place filled with so much intrepi.
dity aud rigmit as by Cat, He paid norts-
Dect to persons, Senators, knights,' or men of
consular dignity : he drove from the set. ate
.hose whom he found culpable, of whatever
birth they were, fir was exact, nt vere, incor
ruptible, inflexible, and resolute : he made , him
self dreaded by those who infringed the laws ;
but h- did not render the execution of them
easy ; he took no pains to make thm esteemed,
and never thought of rewarding those who
conformed to what they prescribed. He de
clared war against luxurj , not by? "publish log
any sumptuary law,' but by taxif.g the citizens
according to their expmces ; without prtvtng
. least attention to their r al fortunes. At
the end of his censorship a statue was erected
to him, and received the sur-name of Censor,
which he bore the remainder of his life ; and
preserved the inclination of censuring and cri
ticising his coiirttrymen. He made it a duty.
and perhaps a pleasure, to accuse them in open
senate : this was repaid him- he was accused
in his turn-and it happened, that he was more
than. once condemned to pay a fine. Ie Was
already advanced in age, when the Athenians
came to Rome, and .made it the fashion to stu
dy the literature and philosophy ,of Gree.cj:.
Cato disapproved of;tha study -he opposed
its progress and cried loudly that it , was a
species of mental luxury, .which would ruin
the republic. . He.iwent into Af'''ca,,and jived
at Gahhage,bewtenhqeiiidand third pu-
lit, wars. . He that this old rival oflW
