| I do not intend to give a tedious account of the work itself, but shall only say that it has been my endeavor to express the author’s sense with all the ease and freedom I could, so as to avoid both the slavery of a literal and the licentiousness of a loose and luxuriant interpretation. My design at present is only to make some necessary reflections upon those parts of the Stoic philosophy which are apt to prejudice men against it, and tempt some, from these extravagant systems of moral perfection, to think (at least to plead in defense of their own excesses) that the general rules prescribed for reforming our manners are things too finely thought, sublime, airy, and impracticable speculations.
