Marcus Aurelius Antoninus to Himself is a collection of personal writings by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, also known as Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. The book is written in the form of a diary or journal, and contains the emperor's thoughts, reflections, and meditations on a wide range of topics, including philosophy, ethics, religion, and politics. The writings were not intended for publication, but were instead a private record of the emperor's innermost thoughts and feelings. The book is considered a classic of Western philosophy and is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of Stoic philosophy. It has been translated into many languages and has had a profound influence on thinkers and writers throughout history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or the history of ancient Rome.1928. This little volume is unique in ancient literature. To read it is to be admitted to intimate communion with one of the most remarkable men that ever sat upon a throne. Tireless, just, self-sacrificing administrator for over forty years, he brings to mind the line that Wordsworth used of Milton: �������Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart.������� Notebook, rather than diary, this record of his inner life shows on every page his persistent effort to state to himself without prejudice or predilection the real significance of the details of human experience, as these details affected the determination of his own feeling and his own action.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
