He did it, preferring the common safety before any private bond of nature, and he got the victory. " For this Plutarch quotes Dorotheus in the fourth book of his " Italian History.... " In Clough's edition of " Plu- tarch's Lives, " we have the immolation mentioned above in the " Rom. Quest, " again referred to.
