Grote has written learnedly on Socrates and the other great lights. Lewes's Biographical History of Philosophy has the merit of clearness, and is very interesting, but rather superficial.

Schleiermacher, on Socrates, translated by Bishop Thirlwall, is well worth attention.
Ever, when we re- count the tale, there is something to overturn the theories of the police.
