Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

First published in 1894, this book consists of essays by professors
Jowett and Campbell about the classic Greek philosopher Plato, and
his famous and widely read dialogue The Republic, which is
considered one the world's most influential works. Plato is
believed to be the pivotal figure in the development of Western
philosophy, and the editors explore this throughout the book along
with relations to other Greek dialogues and authors.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was a Scottish physicist well-known
for his extensive work with electromagnetism, colour analysis, and
kinetic theory. Considered by many to be a giant in his field with
significant influence on the physicists who would follow, Maxwell
spent time as a professor at Aberdeen University, King's College,
London, and Cambridge. This 1882 Life by his friend Lewis Campbell
and natural philosopher William Garnett represents an important -
and lengthy - investigation into Maxwell's life and thought. Part I
is concerned with biographical matters while the second section
focuses upon his scientific mind. A third part contains Maxwell's
poetry, so included because the poems are 'characteristic of him'
and have 'curious biographical interest'. At nearly 700 pages, the
Life represents an important starting point for those curious about
the state of theoretical physics and the person in whom it reached
its culmination in the nineteenth century.
