Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cicero's Three Books of Offices: Or Moral Duties; Also His Cato Major, an Essay on Old Age; Laelius, an Essay on Friendship; Paradoxes; Scipio's Dream; And Letter to Quintus on the Duties of a Magistrate
A subsidiary design has been to show, by parallel passages, to what extent the writings of modern moralists have been tinctured with the thoughts of the Roman philosopher; and to point out particular instances in which their arguments and illustrations are identical.
