 relative to men and manners, and is peculiarly adapted for youth 

 completing their education. It comprehends the ESSENCE of the 

 four Volumes of Lord Chesterfield's Letters, with the omission of 

 what has been deemed exceptionable. The epistolary form is pre- 

 served ; and the style and sentiments are entirely those of the 

 author's. For the benefit of the English reader, the passages from 

 other languages are translated ; and a few notes are added, where 

 the subject required elucidation.

3. SENECA's MORALS, by WAY OF ABSTRACT : to which 

 is added, a Discourse under the title of an After-Thought. By Sir 

 R IGER L' ESTRANGE, Knt. 



*** Seneca was well read in all sorts of literature, of great wit 

 and invention, and a great reprover of vice ; his writings are well 

 worth reading, if it were only for his morals : there are many 

 things in him not only to be approved, but admired. Columella 

 calls him a man of excellent wit and learning ; Pliny, the prince 

 of erudition ; Tacitus gives him the character of a wise man, and a 

 fit tutor for a prince; and Dio reports him to have been the greatest 

 man of his age.
