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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a New Life of Plutarch From thence he passed to Cyrene, where he delivered the people from the tyrants and civil wars with which they had been harassed, and re-esta blished their constitution. In this he availed himself of a saying of Plato, who when he was desired to give them a body of laws, and to settle their government upon rational principles, gave them this oracular answer, It is very difficult to give laws to so pros perons a people. In fact nothing is harder to govern than man when for tune smiles, nor anything more tracta ble than he when calamity lays her hands upon him. Hence it was that Lucullus found the Cyrenians so pliant and submissive to his regulations. Palmerins takes this for Ptolemy Auletes, but Auletes was not king till the year before Christ sixty-five. It must, therefore, have been Ptolemy Lathyrus. For Sylla con. Cluded the peace with Mithridates in the year before Christ eighty-two.

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.
