Excerpt from Plutarch's Morals, Vol. 1: Translated From the Greek by Several Hands
The translation of Plutarch's Morals "by Several Hands" was first published in London in 1684-1694. The fifth edition, "revised and corrected from the many errors of the former editions," published in 1718, is the basis of the present translation. The earlier translation made by Philemon Holland, Doctor of Physick, published in London in 1603 and again in 1657, has often been of great use in the revision. It hardly need be stated, that the name "Morals" is used by tradition to include all the works of Plutarch except the Lives.
The original editions of the present work contained translations of every grade of merit. Some of the essays were translated by eminent scholars like William Baxter (nephew of Richard Baxter) and Thomas Creech, whose work generally required merely such revision as every translation of such an age would now need. But a large number, including some of the longest and most difficult treatises, were translated by men whose ignorance of Greek - or whatever language was the immediate ancestor of their own version - was only one of their many defects as translators.
