PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION.

MANYmore or less important alterations have been

made in this translation, which was first published in

1881, new editions have from time to time been

called for. The present edition in particular has been

revised throughout, and brought into accordance with

Bywater¡¯s text (Oxford, ISSO),¡¯ which is coming to

be recognized, not in Oxford only, aa the received

text of the Nicomachean Ethics. I wish gratefully

to acknowledge the debt which, in common with all

lovers of Aristotle, I owe to Mr, Bywater, both for his

edition and for his ¡°Contributions to the Textual

Criticism of the Nicomachean Ethics ¡± (Oxford, 1892).

To Mr. Stewart also I wish to express my gratitude, not only for much assistance derived from his

admirable ¡° Notes on the Nicomachean Ethics

(Oxford, l892), but also for much kindly and helpful

criticism in that work and in a review of my first

edition (Mind,July, 1881). My old friends Mr.

In the few paseagee where this text is not followed, the reading

adopted is indicated in a note.
