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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 1 of 6: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a Life of Plutarch Amyot was a man of great industry, and consider able' learning. He sought diligently in the libraries of Rome and Venice for those Lives of Plutarch, which are lost; and, though his search was unsue cessful, it had this good effect, that by meeting with a variety of manuscripts, and comparing them with the printed copies, he was enabled in many places to rectify the text. This was a very essential cir cumstance: for few ancient writers had suffered more than Plutarch, fi'om'the carelessness of printers and transcribers; and, with all his merit, it was his fate for a long time to find no able res'torer. The sehoolmendespised his Greek, because it had not the purity of Xenophon, nor the Attic terseness of Aristophanes; and, on that account, very unrea sonably bestowed their labours on those who wanted them less. Amyot's translation was published in the year 1558; that no reputable edition of the Greek text of Plutarch appeared, till that of Paris in 1624. The above-mentioned translation how ever, though drawn from an unperfect text, was still read, till Dacier, under better auspices and in better times, attempted a new one; which he exe cuted with great elegance, and tolerable accuracy. The text he followed was not se correct, as might have been wished; for the London edition of Plu tarch was not then published. The'french lan guage however being at that time in high perfection.

On this occasion the Molossians revolting again, drove out his friends, pillaged his treasures, and put themselves o'nce more under Neoptolemus.

Nor did he forsake Demetrius when uhsucccfisfuiy3 but kept for him those cities of Greece with which he was intrusted and when the treaty was concluded with Ptole5 my, he went to Egypt as an hostage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 2 of 6: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a New Life of Plutarch This last had the surname of Vcrrucosus, from a small wart on his upper lip. He was likewise called Oviculaf from the mildness and gravity of his behaviour when a boy. Nay, his composed demeanour, and his silence, his caution in engaging in the diversions of the other boys, the slow ness and dxfiiculty with which he took up what was taught him, together with the submissive manner in which be com plied with the proposals of his comrades, brought him un der the suspicion of stupidity and foolishness with those that did not thoroughly know him. Yet a few there were who perceived that his composedness was owing to the so lidity of his parts, and who discerned withal a magnani mity and lion-like courage in his nature. In a short time, when application to business drew him out, it was obvious even to the many, that his seeming inactivity was a com mand which he had of his passions, that his cautiousness was prudence, and that which had passed for heaviness and insensibility was really an immoveable firmness of soul. He saw what an im ottant concern the administration was, and in what wars t republic was frequently engaged, and therefore by exercise prepared his body, considering its strength as a natural armour; at the same time he improved his powers of persuasion, as the engines by which the eo ple are to be moved, adapting them to the manner 0 his life for in his eloquence there was nothin of affectation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 After Dionysius the Elder had seized the govern ment of Sicily it, he married the daughter of Her mocrates, a Syracusan. As the monarchic power however was yet but ill established, she had the misfortune to be so dreadfully abused in her person by an outrageous faction, that she put an end to her life. When Dionysius was confirmed in his govern ment, he married two wives at the same time. One was Doris, a native of Locris; the other Aristo mache, the daughter of Hipparinus, a principal p son in Syracuse, who had been his collegue when he was first appointed general of the Sicilian forces. These wives, it is said, he married 011 the same day. It is not certain which he enjoyed first, but he was afterward most impartial in his attentions to them for both attended him at his table, and alternately partook of his bed. As Doris had the disadvantage of being a foreigner, the Syracusans sought every method of obtaining the preference for their coun trywoman; but it was more than equivalent to the disadvantage ofthe former, that she had the honour of giving Dionysius his eldest son. Aristomache on the contrary was for a long time barren, though the king was extremely desirous of having children by her, and even put Doris' mother to death, on a supposition that she had prevented her conception by potions.
