- Summary:
- When Sir William wrote his commentaries in 1765-69, it could be assumed that anyone who read them would be proficient in the major tongues of western learning. By 1823, that was no longer true, and Jones provided translations for users of the by then classic work. Here is a new verbatim (i.e. word for word) transcription of those translations, in modern typeface. No scholarly paraphernalia. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
