Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Apology of Socrates and Crito: With Extracts From the Phaedo and Symposium and From Xenophon's Memorabilia
This book was first published in 1885 and contained Plato's Apology and Crilo. Its editor, Professor Louis Dyer, subsequently removed his residence to England.

The new edition contains, in addition to the Apology and Crito, extracts from Plato's Phaedo and Symposium and from Xenophon's Memorabilia.

The editors Of the College Series had hoped that Professor Dyer.
