Seneca on Friendship Death and Poverty

THE THIRD OF THREE SLIM VOLUMES Roger L'Estrange staunch royalist author and pamphleteer one-time inmate of Newgate Prison one-time exile one-time Member of Parliament takes up the teaching of the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca rearranging and paraphrasing the original Latin to shape a unique and engaging work of his own. True friendship based on Stoic principles provides a certain antidote against all calamities and even the fear of poverty the hurt of death and the lamentations of grief may be turned aside by those who possess a proper philosophy. This third slim volume is the concluding part of Roger L'Estrange's Seneca of a Happy Life being itself an extract of a much larger whole Seneca's Morals first published in 1678.
