References

page 141 note 1 Professor Burnet does not venture to maintain that Socrates is never employed to advocate Platonic doctrine; a notable instance in the Republic is discussed on p. 232. But the attempts to account for the appearance of Socrates as protagonist in the Theaetetus and the Philebus (pp. 235, 237, 248, 324) are not without a suspicion of special pleading, or of what is elsewhere (p. 150) deprecated as ‘picking and choosing whatever we please out of Plato.’

page 143 note 1 P. 313, n. 1. By a slip Phaedo is printed instead of Sophist in this note. The only other misprint I have noticed is ‘Athen. 509c’ (for 508c) on p. 254.

page 143 note 2 Burnet admits that ‘things are said of them’ ‘which said of Plato in A 6.’
