The Ethical Writings of Cicero is a collection of four works by the Roman philosopher and statesman, Marcus Tullius Cicero. The first work, De Officiis, is a treatise on moral duty and the principles of ethics, written as a guide for his son. The second work, De Senectute, also known as On Old Age, is a dialogue between Cicero and his friend Atticus on the subject of aging and the virtues of old age. The third work, De Amicitia, also known as On Friendship, is a dialogue between Cicero and his friends on the nature of true friendship and its importance in life. The final work, Scipio's Dream, is a fictional dialogue between Cicero and the ghost of the Roman general Scipio Africanus, in which they discuss the nature of the universe and the afterlife. Published in 1887, this collection of Cicero's ethical writings offers readers a glimpse into the moral and philosophical beliefs of one of the most influential figures of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
