This book is the outcome of a course of lectures deliveredby me in successive years to Latin Honours students inaccordance with the regulations of the University of Wales. Itis therefore primarily intended for the assistance of classicalstudents; but it may perhaps appeal in its present form to asomewhat wider circle.
At the time that the book was begun the best systematicexposition of the Stoic philosophy available for English readerswas to be found in Prof. E. Zeller’s Stoics Epicureans andSceptics, translated by O. J. Reichel (Longmans, 1892). Thiswork, admirable in detail, is nevertheless somewhat inadequateto the subject, which appeared to its learned author as a meresequel to the much more important philosophical systems ofPlato and Aristotle. Since its first appearance many qualifiedwriters have been inclined to assign a higher rank to Stoicism,amongst whom L. Stein, A. Schmekel, and Hans vonArnim in the German-speaking countries, and A. C. Pearson,G. H. Rendall, and R. D. Hicks in our own, are perhapsmost conspicuous.
