Excerpt from Aristotle and the Earlier Peripatetics, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Translation From Zeller's 'Philosophy of the Greeks' The following translation embraces Part II. Div. II. of the third edition of Dr. Eduard Zeller's work on ' The Philosophy of the Greeks in its Historical Development.' It is made with Dr. Zeller's sanction, and completes the series of volumes issued from time to time by Messrs. Longmans as translations of the various sections of that exhaustive work. Mr. Costelloe is chiefly responsible for the translation of text and notes up to the middle of Chapter VII., and for Chapter XIX. to the end; Mr. Muirhead for the middle portion. In most instances, however, both translators have revised the sheets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
