Excerpt from Phćdo: The Immortality of the Soul On again offering to the public this world-renowned treatise of the Athenian philosopher, it is proper to state that particular care has been taken to select a version calculated to impart the most correct idea of the original, and that too in a style likely to find acceptance with the general reader. The high value attached to the Phćdo is strikingly attested by the numerous English translations of this dialogue that have appeared at various times. Of these there exist not fewer than twenty, some of which may be characterized as barbarous attempts, others as respectable, and a few decidedly meritorious, and stamped with the approbation of the ablest scholars. After collecting and comparing the chief of these performances, the preference was considered due to Mr. Stanford's version, which appeared to combine a faithful exhibition of the sense of the author, with an uncommon degree of force and elegance in its language - excellences not very frequently attained, and evincing a masterly acquaintance with both languages. A life of the philosopher, written by Archbishop Fenelon, has been prefixed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
