Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, wrote this untitled series of 12 books, commonly known as the Meditations, in which he sets forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement and it is unlikely he ever intended that they should be published. This edition which appeared in 1902 is described as "a new rendering based on the Foulis translation of 1742."
