Synopsis
Excerpt from Plutarch, His Life, His Parallel Lives, and His Morals
IN preparing for the press a Lecture upon Plutarch which I delivered last year to a small Literary Society in Dublin, I was insensibly led on from one point to another, until, and I may say quite against my will and intention, that one had grown into many. I might hesitate to publish so much about one with whom everybody assumes himself familiar, were it not that, where such is indeed the fact, it is in almost every case only with his lives that this familiarity exists. The other writings of Plutarch, not unworthy of being known, are for all this so slightly known, that this little volume, more than one half of which is dedi cated to them, may, perhaps, contain enough which is not altogether old and outworn to justify its publi cation.
