Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 6 of 6: Translated From the Original Greek, With Notes Critical and Historical, and a Life of Plutarch Accident, however, rather than defign, gave a fimilarity to the lives of thefe two great men and both were cut off by an untimely death, before they could carry the purpofes, which they had purfued with fo much labour, into execution. The moft fingular circumltance attendinfg their death was, that both had a divine warning O it, in the appearance of a frightful fpeétre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 6: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a Life of Plutarch The mathematicians-3 say the sun does not move in the same direction with the heat ens, nor yet in a direction quite opposite; but, circulating with a gentle and almost insensible obliquity, gives the whole system such a temperature as tends to its preservation. So in a system of government, if a states man be determined to describe a straight line, and in all things to thwart the wishes of the people, such rigour must render his administration odious; on the other hand, if he suffer himself to be carried along with their most erroneous options, the government will soon be in a tottering and ruinous state. The latter, however, is the more common error of the two. But the politics which keep a middle course, sometimes slacken ing, and sometimes tightening the reins, indulging the people in one point to gain another that is more important, are the only measures that are formed upon rational principles for a well timed condescension, and moderate treatment, will lead men to concur in many useful schemes, into which they could never be driven by despotism and violence. This medium, it must be acknowledged, it is laborious and difficult to hit upon, because it requires a mixture of dignity with gentleness; but, when the just temperature is gained, it presents the happiest and most perfect harmony that can be conceived. It Is by this sublime harmony, that the Supreme Being governs the world; for nature is not dragged into obedience to his com mands: his influence is indeed irresistible, but it is at the same time mild and rational.
