Abstract
DR. RUTEU BORCHARDT has performed a valuable service in rescuing from oblivion—as she pure it—these translations by John Stuart Mill of four Platonic dialogues, namely, the “Protagoras”, the “Phraedrus”, “The Georgias”, and the “Apology of Socrates”. They appeared originally in the Monthly Repository of 1834–35, and have been almost neglected ever since. In addition, we are given a reprint of the essay “On Genius”, written over the signature “Antiquus”, in which ‘J. S. M.’ probed the depths of knowledge, as he saw it, with unrivalled skill of phrase. Four Dialogues of Plato, including the ‘Apology of Socrates’ Translations and Notes by John Stuart Mill. Edited, with an Introductory Essay, by Ruth Borchardt. Pp. vi + 194. (London: Watts and Co., Ltd., 1946.) 10s. 6d. net.
