Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 1 of 4: Translated From the Greek With Notes and a Life of Plutarch N O apologies are needed for a new edition Of so favourite an author as Plutarch. From the period Of the revival of classical literature in Europe down to our own times, his writings have done more than those Of any other single author to familiarise us with the greatest men and the greatest events Of the ancient world. The great Duke Of Marlborough, it is said, confessed that his only knowledge Of English history was derived from Shakespeare's historical plays, and it would not be too much to say that a very large proportion of educated men, in our own as well as in Marlborough's times, have owed much Of their knowledge Of classical antiquity to the study Of Plutarch's Lives. Other writers may be read with profit, with admiration, and with interest; but few, like Plutarch, can gossip pleasantly while instruct ing solidly; can breathe life into the dry skeleton Of history, and show that the life Of a Greek or Roman worthy, when rightly dealt with, can prove as entertain in g as a modern novel. NO one is so well able as Plutarch to dispel the doubt which all schoolboys feel as to whether the names about which they read ever belonged to men who were really alive; his characters are so intensely human and lifelike in their faults and failings as well as in their virtues, that we begin to think of them as of people whom we have ourselves personally known.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 1: The Translation Called Dryden's As, in the progress of life, we first pass through scenes of innocence, peace, and fancy, and afterwards encounter the disorders of society, so we shall here amuse ourselves awhile in the peaceful solitude of the philosopher, before we proceed to those more animated, but less pleasing objects he describes. Nor will the view of a philosopher's life be less instructive than his labors. If the latter teach us how great vices, accompanied with great abilities, may tend to the ruin of a state; if they inform us how Ambition attended with magnanimity, how Avarice directed by political sagacity, how Envy and Revenge armed with personal valor and popular support, will destroy the most sacred establishments, and break through every barrier of human repose and safety; the former will convince us that equanimity is more desirable than the highest privileges of mind, and that the most distinguished situations in life are less to be envied than those quiet allotments, where Science is the support of Virtue. Pindar and Epaminondas had, long before Plutarch's time, redeemed, in some measure, the credit of B otia, and rescued the inhabitants of that country from the proverbial imputation of stupidity. When Plutarch appeared, he confirmed the reputation it had recovered. He showed that genius is not the growth of any particular soil; and that its cultivation requires no peculiar qualities of climate. Chaeronea, a town in B otia, between Phocis and Attica, had the honor to give him birth. This place was remarkable for nothing but the tameness and servility of its inhabitants, whom Anthony's soldiers made beasts of burthen, and obliged to carry their corn upon their shoulders to the coast. As it lay between two seas, and was partly shut up by mountains, the air, of course, was heavy, and truly B otian.
