Reviews

[Andrew Barbin]

The version I have is an early edition reproduced leather bound for the legal classics library. With Pliny's writings and a handful of others written in letters to friends or essays conversational in tone, one can sense both the differences of the epochs of history and the basic commonality we share with all people of all times. The props change and humanity as a whole appears to evolve in fits and starts occilating between rise and fall but with a slight advantage to the general upward march of humanity. For breadth and for its humanity, it is a fovorite well worth the read.
