Book Description
Excerpt from The Children's Plutarch: Tales of the Romans Another thing which I could wish the children to observe is how the wisest and best of the an cients were in the bonds of fear to signs and por tents which men laugh at now. This was because their education was, at the best, philosophical, and dealt with conduct through the discussion of moral principles under gods who had none, while the modern education is scientific, and has enlarged the world to boundlessness through vaster knowledge and sympathy with every form of life. The Ro man world, though it was the whole civilized world, was a small world, and it sank at last under the fears and dangers that always encompassed it in the unknown beyond it.
