The
Enchiridion of Epictetus, translated by George Long.
It came from the mind of a slave, was dictated by him to a student, and
influenced a Roman emperor. The Enchiridion, or "handbook" of Epictetus
is one of the clearest expositions of Stoic philosophy.
It was a practical handbook that was influential in ancient, medieval
and even modern times. It was adapted by early Christians, and gives us
a glimpes of Pagan Greece as well.
Few other works in history have been so widely read by so many, and
have been so influential.
Now, Abbott ePublishing presents this beautiful
electronic version of this
amazing work. Translated by the foremost classical scholar of
his age,
George Long (with only very minor tips of the hat to modern English)
and with original cover art exclusive
to this eBook, we are very proud
to present this version as a free download, so that its
influence may spread in this age as it has in past ages.

The
Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson: The Life and Morals of Jesus of
Nazareth by
Thomas Jefferson, with an extensive introduction
The
so-called
Jefferson
Bible,
more
accurately
"The Life and Morals of
Jesus of Nazareth," is the work of Pres. Thomas Jefferson, who,
influenced by his Deistic beliefs, set about "correcting" the Christian
Gospels by literally cutting out all miracles and other such things he
believed
were simply untrue and muddled the Gospel message using two copies of
the New Testament and a pair of scissors.
What resulted is a facinating look inside the theological mind of one
of America's greatest presidents. Whether you think he had a point or
misses the mark, theologically, you will enjoy this eBook account,
which contains the full text (beautifully
laid out in this edition) and an extensive introduction.

Meditations
of
Marcus
Aurelius translated
by George Long
A classic of ancient literature, the
journal entries of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) were the
private conversation of the emperor with himself. But after his death,
they became known and published, and have, through the ages, been
studied by men and women in positions of power and those with none at
all for the peace and comfort his Stoic musings bring.
This classic translation by George Long (d. 1879) is beautifully
presented here with original cover art, a biography, and a long preface
by the editor, Edwin Ginn (d. 1914.)
Let this work reach out from the ancient world and change you.
