Excerpt from Selected Essays of Plutarch, Vol. 2: Translated With Introduction
To four of the dialogues I have With some reluctance prefixed a short running analysis. It is always a pity to antici pate what the author puts clearly before us;l but there is here a real practical difficulty, even for a careful reader, in being sure who is the speaker for the time being; and as he is often introduced by the pronouns I or he no typo graphical device quite serves. The other dialogues seem to explain themselves sufficiently. There is no attempt to supply a commentary; but it is hoped that the full index of proper names (which are very numerous) will enable a reader to dis tinguish those as to whom it is worth his while to inquire further from those who are only of passing interest. I have given here a good many references to other works of Plutarch, but more may usefully be sought, for instance in such an index as is appended to Clough's edition of the Lives.
