Monsieur Vénus décrit l'âme d'une jeune fille très singulière. Nous l'aimons, parce qu'il analyse un des cas les plus curieux d'amour de soi qu'ait produit ce siècle malade d'orgueil.Mais voici le sommaire de ce petit chef-d'¿uvre: Mademoiselle Raoule de Vénérande est une fine jeune fille, très nerveuse, avec des lèvres minces, d'un dessin assez désagréable. Dans l'atelier de sa fleuriste, elle remarque un jeune ouvrier. Couronné des roses qu'il tortille lestement en guirlande, ce garçon d'un roux très foncé, l'enchante par son menton à fossette, sa chair unie et enfantine, et le petit pli qu'il a au cou, le pli du nouveau-né qui engraisse; et puis il regarde, comme implorent les chiens souffrants, avec une vague humidité dans les prunelles. Tout le portrait est de ce ton excellent, vraiment canaille et nature. Raoule installe dans un intérieur fort romanesque ce joli garçon si gras; elle le surprend qui, fou d'une folie de fiancée en présence de son trousseau de femme, lèche jusqu'aux roulettes des meubles à travers leurs franges multicolores. Avec un cynisme de très spirituelle allure, elle le déconcerte quand il imagine d'être aimable; elle le pousse dans un cabinet de toilette, elle le fait rougir par son audace à l'examiner et le complimenter, lui le rustre qu'elle a recueilli sous prétexte de charité. Et le pauvre mâle humilié, s'agenouille sur la traîne de la robe de Raoule, et sanglote. Car, Rachilde le dit excellemment, il était fils d'un ivrogne et d'une catin, son honneur ne savait que pleurer. Ce M. Vénus, absolument désexué de caractère par une suite de procédés ingénieux, devient la maîtresse de Raoule. Je veux dire qu'elle l'aime, l'entretient et le caresse, qu'elle s'irrite et s'attendrit auprès de lui, sans jamais céder au désir qui la ferait aussitôt l'inférieure de ce rustre, près de qui elle se plaît à frissonner, mais qu'elle méprise. Elle définit son goût d'une façon admirable: J'aimerai Jacques comme un fiancé aime sans espoir une fiancée morte.Cette nouvelle édition en larges caractères est préfacée par Maurice Barrès.

Philosophy was defined by the Stoics as 'the knowledge of things divine and human'. It was divided into three departments; logic, ethic, and physic. Of the three departments we may say that logic deals with the form and expression of knowledge, physic with the matter of knowledge, and ethic with the use of knowledge. The division may also be justified in this way. Philosophy must study either nature (including the divine nature) or man; and, if it studies man, it must regard him either from the side of the intellect or of the feelings, that is either as a thinking (logic) or as an acting (ethic) being.Coming with a new large print edition, this guide is followed by the biographies of various Stoic philosophers taken from "The lives and opinions of eminent philosophers" by Diogenes Laërtius.
