This book, which is intended principally for the large and increasing class of readers who wish to learn something of the masterpieces of Greek literature, and whocannot easily read them in Greek, was originally published by Messrs.

It is not intended to be a general essay on Socrates, but only an attempt to explain and illustrate such points in his life and teaching as are referred to in these dialogues, which, taken by themselves, con tain Plato''s description of his great master''s life, and work, and death.
