Stoics and Saints - College of Stoic Philosophers

NOTE BY THE EDITOR
THE Lectures contained in this volume were delivered at
different times and in various places during the later years of
Mr. Baldwin Brown s life, and if that life had been prolonged
he would himself have prepared them for the press. They
are now published at the earnest desire of many
who heard
them, with but slight alteration, the characteristic freedom
of a spoken address being purposely retained. Though not
originally given in one course, the Lectures are essentially
related in their leading ideas and method of treatment, and
are arranged chronologically as a consecutive series.
Certain portions of the fifth Lecture were included in an
essay on The Eeligious Life, in Ecclesia (first series), and
are reproduced here by kind permission of the publishers.
With that exception all that is contained in the book appears
now for the first
time.
