NOTE. I find that, at page 51, I have 

 put into the mouth of Plato the prayer 

 beginning, " O Pan, and ye other gods of 

 this place," while it was that of Socrates 

 the " wisest of mankind " as reported 

 by Plato. The error is not material, for 

 such a prayer was addressed to Pan, in 

 common with all the so-called gods and 

 goddesses, by the ancient heathen.
