Plato and Other Companions of Socrates

In the present Edition, with a view to the distribution into four volumes, there is a slight transposition of the author’s arrangement. His concluding chapters (38, 39), entitled “Other Companions of Sokrates,” and “Xenophon,” are placed in the First Volume, as chapters 3 and 4. By this means each volume is made up of nearly related subjects, so as to possess a certain amount of unity.
