Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ancient History of the Egyptians, Carthaginians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes and Persians, Macedonians, and Grecians, Vol. 4
Dion had naturally a great and molt noble foul Ail-happy accident had conduced to infpire and con firm in him the molt elevated fentiments. It was a kind of chance, or rather, as Plutarch fays, a peen liar providence, which at diflance laid the foundations of the Syracufa'n liberty, that brought Plato, the molt. Celebrated of philofophers, to Syracufe. Dion became his friend and difciple, and made great improvements from his leflbns For though brought up in a luxuri~ ous and vol 1ptuous court, where the fupreme good: was made to confil'c in pleafu1e and magnificence, her had no fooner heard the precepts of his new mal'ter, and imbibed a tafte of the philofophy that inculcates virtue, than his foul was inflamed with the love of it. Plato, in one of his letters, gives this glorious tel'ti mony of him, that he had never met with a young man, upon whom his difcourfes made fo great an im preflion, or whohad conceived his principles with lo much ardour and vivacity.
