INTRODUCTION · The philosophy of Plato is deeply in¬ debted to two very extraordinary men, who rank among the chief of its leaders and hierophants, viz. Plotinus and Proclus ; to the former for its restoration, and to the latter for the complete developement of all its sublimities and mysteries. It is indeed a remarkable historical fact, though but little known, that the depths of this philosophy, as I have elsewhere observed,1 were not perfectly fathomed, 1 See the General Introduction to my translation of Platp, Plot » b INTRODUCTION. Λ i except by his immediate disciples, for more than five hundred years after its first pro¬ pagation. 1 For though Grantor, Atticus, ♦ 1 This fact must necessarily be very little known at pre¬ sent, as the philosophy of Plato is no longer studied as it was in ancient times, having become for many centuries obsolete. And yet it is no uncommon thing with the literati, and particularly with the critics of the present age, to decide with as much confidence on the dogmas of this philosophy, and on the writings of its most celebrated votaries, as on the nugatory and fungous productions of the day. These men forget, when they boast of having consumed the best part of their life in the study of the Greek and Latin languages, that philology is a very different thing from* philosophy, and that there is extreme danger in being well-grounded at great Grammar schools, of being at the same time well-ground . Their presumption however is by no means wonderful when we consider that they have been disciplined by the spectre of the Dunciad, “ Whose beaver’d brow a birchen garland wears.
