The Home Office - Thanks WW for a copy of the third volume of his Platonic Dialogues. Further to WW's remarks on Grote's pamphlet [possibly John Grote, 'A Few Words of Criticism: Being an Examination of the Article in the Saturday Review of April 20, 1861, upon Dr. Whewell's Platonic Dialogues for English Readers', 1861] GCL 'cannot believe that Plato was ignorant of so simple and geometrical a truth as that two concentric spheres revolving uniformly together are relatively at rest - but it is very difficult to comprehend how Aristotle could have mistaken the meaning of so important a passage in the Timaeus'.
