Henry Cary Book order (chronological)

The writings of Plato are numerous, and most are in the form of dialogues. This edition contains translations of three of his works: "The Apologia," "The Crito" and "The Phaedo," all of which have reference to the trial, imprisonment and death of Socrates."

The first part of Dante's classic poem of faith follows the author with his guide Virgil through the circles of hell, describing the sinners and punishments witnessed there.
