"No man in England is more competent than Professor Thompson to pronounce upon the value of any contribution to this branch of ancient learning; and he says,

"Of the dialectic and physics of Plato they are the only exposition at once full accurate, and popular, with which I am acquainted: being far more accurate than the French, and incomparably more popular than the German treatises on these departments of the Platouic philosophy,

“We must not dismiss Professor Butler's Lectures without testifying to the admirable editing to which they have been submitted."
