THE DIALOGUES OF PLATO
PREFACE TO THE FIRST
EDITION.
The Text which has been mostly followed in this Translation of Plato
is the latest 8vo. edition of Stallbaum; the principal deviations are noted at
the bottom of the page.
I have to acknowledge many obligations to old friends and pupils.
These are:--Mr. John Purves, Fellow of Balliol College, with whom I have
revised about half of the entire Translation; the Rev. Professor Campbell,
of St. Andrews, who has helped me in the revision of several parts of the
work, especially of the Theaetetus, Sophist, and Politicus; Mr. Robinson
Ellis, Fellow of Trinity College, and Mr. Alfred Robinson, Fellow of New
College, who read with me the Cratylus 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
accuracy 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.
I have further to explain how far I have received help from other
labourers in the same field. The books which I have found of most use
are Steinhart and Muller's German Translation of Plato with Introductions;
Zeller's 'Philosophie der Griechen,' and 'Platonische Studien;' Susemihl's
'ische Entwickelung der Paltonischen Philosophie;' Hermann's
'Geschichte der Platonischen Philosophie;' Bonitz, 'Platonische Studien;'
Stallbaum's Notes and Introductions; Professor Campbell's editions of the
'Theaetetus,' the 'Sophist,' and the 'Politicus;' Professor Thompson's
'Phaedrus;'
