The Greater Hippias, a Dialogue of Plato, concerning the Beautiful.

London: Printed by H. Woodfall; and fold by W. Sandby, in Fleet-street; and by R. and J. Dodfley, in Pall-Mall, 1759. Price 48.

This Book is printed in large Quarto, and is infcribed to the Right Honourable Philip Earl of Chesterfield; it contains 127 Pages. To which is prefixed the Argument, of which we fhall give the following Extract, to convey to our Readers the Defign and View of the Author in this Work.

This Dialogue has the Addition of Greater to its Name, Hippias, in contra diftinction to another of the fame Name, which is fhorter. Concerning the Title of it, there is not any Difpute or Diverfity: Neither indeed can any be. For, after an Introduction of greater Length than ufual, acquainting us fully with the Character of Hippias; at the fame Time artfully leading to the main Subject, and preparatory likewife to that high Doctrine, which our Philofopher aims to inculcate; the Subject of the Converfation is opened plainly in this Question, propofed by Socrates to Hippias,

"What is the Beautiful?” —And

the Point is debated fimply and closely, without any of those collateral Disquifttions, or Digreffions by the Way, with the Variety of which our Author makes the greatest Part of his Writings fo entertaining. The Defign of this Dialogue is by little and little to unfold the Nature of true Beauty; and gradually to conduct our Minds to the View of that Being, who is Beauty Ifelf; and from whofe Original Ideas all of them effential to his Nature, is copied every Particular Beauty. This Plata does, in the first Place, by establishing Four grand Characteristic Marks of The truly Beautiful: The Firft of which is Univerfa lity; all Things, which are fair, deriving their Beauty from it, and according as they more or lefs partake of it, in the fame Proportion being Beautiful. The Second Characteristic is Supremacy; The Univerfal Fair fupporting always the fame Dignity, and maintaining its Character of Superiority in Beauty, with whatever else it be compared, and in whatever Light beheld: So that the Beauty of every Thing, any way fet in Competition with it, is found inferior. A Third Property, effentially belonging to the Univerfal fovereign Beauty, and characterifing it, is the Sameness of it in all Places, and at all Times. And the Fourth Effential Property, by which it is denoted, is the Immutability of it; this unrivaled Beauty, to whole Prefence there is no Bar, and of whofe Being there is no Decay, abiding independent of Fancy, or of Fashion; nor ever varying, however Things or the Circumftances of Things may change.

To which we shall add the following Extract from the Work,

Perfons

Perfons in the Dialogue.

Socrates, Hippias.

SCENE, the Lycaum

Socrates.

Hippias, the Fine, and the Wife! What a long Time it is, fince last you touched at Athens.

Hippias.

'Tis because I have not had Leifure, Socrates. For the Eleans, you are to know, whenever they have any public Affairs to negociate with any of the neighbouring Cities, conftantly apply to me, and appoint me their Ambassador for that Purpose, in Preference to all others: Because they confider me as a Perfon the ableft to form a right Judgment of what is argued and alledged by every one of the Cities, and to make a proper Report of it to them. My Embaffies therefore have been frequent to many of thofe Powers; but ofteneft, and upon Points the most in Number, as well as of the highest Importance, have I gone to Sparta to treat with the Lacedæmonians. This is the Reafon then, in answer to your Question, why fo feldom I vifit these Parts.

Socrates.

This it is, Hippias, to be a Man truly wife and perfectly accomplished. For, being thus qualified, in your private Capacity, great Prefents made you by the young Men of the Age; and are able to make them ample Amends by the greater Advantages, which they derive from you: Then, in your public Character, you are able to do Service to your Country; as a Man ought, who would raise himfelf above Contempt, and acquire Reputation among the Multitude. But, Hippias, what Sort of Reason can be given, why thofe in former Days, who are fo highly famed for Wisdom, Pittacus, and Bias, and Thales the Milefian, with his Difciples, Succeffors and Followers, down to Anaxagoras, if not all, yet most of them, are found to have lived the Lives of private Men, declining to engage in public Affairs?

In my Opinion, Hippias, you fee the Mat. ter in a juft Light, and confider it thoroughly well. I myself can witness the Truth of what you fay. It is indeed certain, that your Art is in this Refpect really improved, in that you are able to manage the Concerns of the Public, and at the fame Time give Attention to your own private Interests. For Gorgias, that great Sophift of Leontium, came hither on a public Embaffy from his own Country, as the ableft Man among the Leontines to negociate their Affairs of State: And here he acquired Glory by his fine Harangues in the Affembly of the People; at the fame Time that his Exhibitions before private Companies, and his teaching our young Men, he collected and raised very confiderable Sums of Money from this City.
