Socrates: A Study of the Greek Philosopher (Classic Reprint) Book

PREFACE AMONG works dealing specially with the subjoot of this .Manual the most serviceable to me have been those of Grote, Fouil1ee, and Piat. Of histories I would name those of Zeller, Gomperz, Janet et Seailles, 'Vindelband, Fairbanks, and particularly Burnet, whom I have closely followed in his account of pre-Socratic thought. I am specially indebted to the teaching and writings of Dr. Edward Caird, to :Miss 'Vedgwood's book, The JJforal Ideal, and to the introductions and essays in Jowett's translation of Plato, of which constant use has been made. For the quotations fronl Xenophon, I have used the renderings of 1lr. Dakyns, whose praise it is to have done for the slighter author, in great measure, what Jowett has done for Plato. The poetical illustrations have been given in the translations of 'Nay, Plumptre, D'Arcy Thompson, and ~Iiss Swanwick, and much help has been received from the introductory matter of the first three, especially that of :rtfr.
