Ars Recte Vivende est liber a Georgio Guilielmo Curtis scriptus, qui praecepta vitae recte vivendi continet. In hoc libro, auctor docet, quomodo homo optimam vitam ducere possit, per exempla ex historia, philosophia, et literatura. Curtis praesertim commendat virtutes, ut honestatem, iustitiam, fortitudinem, et prudentiam, quae, si coluntur, hominem ad felicitatem perducunt. In additione, auctor admonet de vitiis, ut avaritia, luxuria, ira, et invidia, quae hominem a vera felicitate retrahunt. Ars Recte Vivende est liber utilissimus, qui omnibus hominibus, qui vitam recte agere student, valde commendatur.Yet that result aroused public sentiment to the atrocity of this barbarous survival of the ordeal of private battle. That one of the most justly renowned of public men, of unsurpassed ability, should be shot to death like a mad dog, because he had expressed the general feeling about an unprincipled schemer, was an exasperating public misfortune. But that he should have been murdered in deference to a practice which was approved in the best society, yet which placed every other valuable life at the mercy of any wily vagabond, was a public peril.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
