"Sarah Fielding (1710-1768), the younger sister of Henry Fielding, and the close friend
of his literary rival Samuel Richardson, was one of the very few English women to
master ancient languages like Latin and Greek. With the help of Shaftesbury's nephew,
James Harris, a distinguished writer, scholar and grammarian, she embarked on the
ambitious project of translating Xenophon's Memorabilia and the Apology of Socrates
from the Greek. This work, titled Memoirs of Socrates, with the Defence of Socrates
before his Judges, was finally released in 1762. She proved a discreet editor and
a talented Hellenist, whose elegant style garnered praise from Tobias Smollett in
his Critical Review. This superb translation is re-published in its entirety for the
first time since the 18th century"--Provided by publisher
