Excerpt from Cicero's Tusculan Disputations, Book First: The Dream Of Scipio, And Extracts From The Dialogues On Old Age And Friendship; With English Notes Together with the first book of the Tusculan Dispu tations, the editor has here presented the Somnium Scipi onis, and extracts from the dialogues De Senectnte and De Amicitia; thus combining all the passages in the works of Cicero in which the question of the Immortality of the Soul is discussed. Besides the intrinsic interest and value of these treatises as containing the maturest decisions of Old philosophy upon a question of universal and nearest concern, they are adorned with a grace of style and happiness Of illustration characteristic Of their author and worthy of their subject. None of the philo Sophical works of Cicero holds a higher rank than the Tusculan Disputations for beauty of language and eleva tion Of sentiment; in the Dream of Scipio the lively nar rative and poetic coloring enhance the admiration which the loftiness Of its views cannot fail to excite; and the dialogues on Old Age and Friendship have always been regarded as treasuries of thought and models of compo sition! With the exception Of the Somnium Scipionis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
