Scope and content
Thanks WW for his book ['The Platonic Dialogues for English Readers', 1860-61]. WHT [Regius Professor of Greek] has never heard of any 'true Platonic students agreeing on the proper dress and sequence of the dialogues'. However 'I can truly say that I like and admire all that I have hitherto read of your translations and introductions: and that if you should fulfil your intention of publishing translations of the remaining Dialogues, or those you deem the most important, I shall expect still greater pleasure and instruction'. WHT gives some corrections to WW's translation.
