Cicero's Three Books of Offices: Or Moral Duties is a book written by the ancient Roman philosopher and statesman, Marcus Tullius Cicero. Originally published in 44 BC, this book is a treatise on ethics and morality, exploring the nature of virtue, duty, and the proper conduct of individuals in society. The book is divided into three parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of moral duty. The first book discusses the virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and decorum, and how they can be applied in daily life. The second book explores the concept of duty, and how individuals can fulfill their obligations to society and to themselves. The third and final book deals with the relationship between virtue and happiness, and how living a virtuous life can lead to a fulfilling and meaningful existence. Cicero's Three Books of Offices has been praised for its timeless wisdom and practical advice, and has been a source of inspiration for generations of readers. This edition, published in 1882, features a translation of the original Latin text by Cyrus R. Edmonds, as well as an introduction and notes by William Warde Fowler.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
