A Translation By S. H. Butcher

[Transcriber's Annotations and Conventions: the translator left

intact some Greek words to illustrate a specific point of the original

discourse. In this transcription, in order to retain the accuracy of

this text, those words are rendered by spelling out each Greek letter

individually, such as {alpha beta gamma delta...}. The reader can

distinguish these words by the enclosing braces {}. Where multiple

words occur together, they are separated by the "/" symbol for clarity.

Readers who do not speak or read the Greek language will usually neither

gain nor lose understanding by skipping over these passages. Those who

understand Greek, however, may gain a deeper insight to the original

meaning and distinctions expressed by Aristotle.]
