And Other Pythagorean Fragments. "In this small volume an attempt has been made to gather together the best and most reliable of the sets of Ethical Verses attributed to the Pythagoreans." "Sorely is needed in life the strong pure teaching of the elder days, when learning was held to be richer than wealth, and simplicity finer than lavishness. None will truly profit by the book who merely reads it through; a sentence should be taken as a thought to 'sleep on, ' or as a note to which the day's work should be attuned, and, deeply meditated upon, should lead to the riches hidden beneath its words. Such use of the book will make it what it should be-a sign-post pointing the hidden way to wisdom, which is a treasure concealed." Contents: Golden Verses of Pythagoras, with Notes from the Commentaries of Hierocles; Golden Sentences of Democrates; Pythagorean Sentences of Demophilus; Similitudes of Demophilus, or the Remedy of Life; Pythagorean Ethical Sentences from Stobfus; Select Sentences of Sextus, the Pythagorean; Pythagorean Sentences from the Protreptics of Iamblichus; Symbols of Pythagoras, with the Explanations of Iamblichus.
