Transcriber’s Note and List of Contents
Page numbers for the 1888 edition are given in-text printed in red. Stephanus numbers are given in the right margin. Sidenotes are given in the left margin. Things may be different on a small width screen: sidenotes and page numbers are removed, the Stephanus numbers are included in the body of the text in green. This means that most, but not all, internal cross-references should still work.
The 1888 edition does not have a Table of Contents. The following listing provides hyperlinks to distinct sections of the work.

THE THIRD EDITION REVISED AND CORRECTED THROUGHOUT
TO MY FORMER PUPILS IN BALLIOL COLLEGE AND IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD, WHO DURING FORTY-SIX YEARS HAVE BEEN THE BEST OF FRIENDS TO ME, THIS VOLUME IS INSCRIBED, IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION OF THEIR NEVER FAILING ATTACHMENT.
IN publishing a third edition of the Republic of Plato (originally included in my edition of Plato’s works), I have to acknowledge the assistance of several friends, especially of my secretary, Mr. Matthew Knight, now residing for his health at Davôs, and of Mr. Frank Fletcher, Exhibitioner of Balliol College. To their accuracy and scholarship I am under great obligations. The excellent index, in which are contained references to other dialogues as well as to the Republic, is entirely the work of Mr. Knight. I am also considerably indebted to Mr. J. W. MacKail, Fellow of Balliol College, who read over the whole book in the previous edition, and noted several inaccuracies.
The additions and alterations both in the introduction and in the text, affect at least a third of the work.
