## Summary

The essays here rendered into English have not been selected as the very best pieces in Plutarch’s _Moralia_, but, first, as typical examples of his writing in that kind, and, second, as covering between them a tolerably large field of interesting matter. The _Moralia_ offer us perhaps the best of all extant material for judging the civilization of the middle classes of society just before and after the year 100 of our era. From them and from Pliny’s _Letters_ we are able to form a fairly complete picture of a large part of that sounder social element which lay between the froth and the dregs.
