| 520 | _a"The Best of the World's Classics, Restricted to Prose, Vol. VII" edited by Henry Cabot Lodge is a collection of classic prose writings compiled during the early 20th century. The volume focuses on notable works from early continental European writers, including pieces from influential figures such as St. Augustine, Boethius, and Victor Hugo, exploring themes of happiness, morality, and human nature. This anthology serves as a comprehensive overview of significant prose that shaped literary thought and discourse in Europe. The opening of this volume introduces several early continental authors, highlighting their contributions to philosophical and literary fields. It begins with a reflection from St. Augustine on the nature of empire and happiness, suggesting that true fulfillment lies not in material wealth but in virtuous living. Following Augustine, Boethius contemplates happiness as a pursuit of God, emphasizing the importance of inner strength over external circumstance. These excerpts set the stage for a rich exploration of philosophical ideas that resonate through the centuries, linking them to historical contexts that remain pertinent for contemporary discussions on ethics and the human condition.
