Excerpt from The Minor Works of Xenophon: Viz, Memoirs of Socrates, The Banquet, Hiero, on the Condition of Royalty, And Economics, or the Science of Good HusbandryAlthough the translator of the following Meinoirs was fully persuaded, that the far greater number of those who favoured her with their names, and assisted her with their interest, were in¿uenced by much nobler motives, than the expectation of receivmg any thing very extraordinary from, her hand, yet, so little did this appear to her any reason for relaxing her endeavours, that, on the contrary, she considered it as laying her under an additional obli gation to do all the justice she possibly could to her author. It was partly on that account partly from sick ness, and partly from some other accidents, not more within her power to regulate, than the state of her own health, that the publication of these Memoirs hath been deferred beyond the time first mentioned in the proposals but if the task is, at last, discharged tolerably, the mind of the translator will be set much at ease, and the reader find somewhat to repay him for his waiting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
