Epicurus

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The volume has been throughout written from the original sources with little use of any modern works on Epicurus, except, of course, Usener''s invaluable collection of his extant writings and fragments, and Koerte''s compilation of the fragments of Metrodorus. I trust that my treatment in this way may have gained in freshness something of what it has, no doubt, lost in erudition.
