Note

Translated not from the Greek but from the French of 'La morale d'Epicure' compiled by Jacques Parrain, Baron des Coutures; the comments and reflections are also by Parrain; pp.i-xxxiii contain 'The life of Epicurus. Written by Monsieur du Roudel [sic].', i.e. Jacques du Rondel; the essay ascribed to St. Evremont is spurious.
