Excerpt from Seneca's Morals, by Way of Abstract, Vol. 1 of 2: To Which Is Added a Discourse, Under the Title of an After-Thought
Monplace his Morals, in such sort, that any man, upon occasion, may know where to find them. And I have kept myself so close to this proposition, that I have reduced all his scattered Ethics to their proper heads, without any additions of my own, more than of absolute necessity for the tacking of them together. Some other man in my place would perhaps make you twenty apologies for his want of skill and address, in governing this affair; but these are formal and pedantic fooleries, as if any man that first takes himself for a coxcomb in his own heart. Would afterwards make himself one in print too.
