Overview

Excerpt from On the Interpretation of Plato's Timaeus: Critical Studies With Special Reference to a Recent Edition It is not always thought necessary to tell the whole truth about a book in a review, but it was necessary in this case to tell a good deal of it not only in justice to the editor's predecessors, for reasons which will appear, but also in justice to his contemporaries, because it will not do to allow foreign critics to think our standard of an edition of a classical author so far below theirs, or our notion of the interpretation of ancient philosophy so anachronistic. There was another reason - something very different to the truth had been told about this book. In such circumstances though the reviewer's duty is clear, it has its dangers, for partisans are not always scrupulous, as I was speedily to learn. The vindication of the rights of Stallbaum and Martin and of others besides will find sympathy with those who are trying to do genuine work, and who hepe that posterity will both find it useful and not forget their share in it.
