The Moral Letters of Lucilius (in Latin, Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales), is the collection of letters that the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (4 BC - 65 AD) sent to his friend, the Procurator of Sicily Lucilius Junior.
The letters often begin with a comment about daily life, followed by an abstracted topic or concept based on that comment. The end output resembles a philosophical notebook. Many typical Stoic topics are addressed in the letters, including death's disdain, the sage's steadfastness, and virtue as the highest good.
This series was made by the great Latinist Richard Mott Gummere between 1917 and 1925, containing:
Volume I (1917): Letters 1 to 65;
Volume II (1920): Letters 66 to 92;
Volume III (1925): Letters 93 to 124.
This is the second volume of the series made in 1920.
