Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dialogues of Plato, Vol. 1 of 4: Translated Into English With Analyses and Introductions
I have to acknowledge many obligations to old friends and pupils. These are, Mr. John Purves, Fellow of qbal liol College, with whom I have revised about half of the entire Translation; the Rev. Professor Campbell, of St. Andrew's, who has helped me in the revision of several parts of the work, -especially of the Theaetetus, Sophist, and Politicos; Mr. Robinson Ellis, Fellow of Trinity Col lege, and Mr. Alfred Robinson, Fellow of New College, who read with me the Cratylns and the Gorgias; Mr. Paravicini, Student of Christ Church, who assisted me in the Symposium; Mr. Raper, Fellow of Queen's College, Mr. Monro, Fellow of Oriel College, and Mr. Shadwell, Student of Christ Church, who gave me similar assistance in the Laws. Dr. Greenhill, of Hastings, has also kindly sent me remarks on the physiological part of the Timaeus, which I have inserted as corrections under the head of errata at the end of the Introduction. The degree of ac curacy which I have been enabled to attain is in great measure due to these gentlemen, and I heartily thank them for the pains and time which they have bestowed on my work.
