Notes on Aristotle's Rhetoric and Poetics

While this title was scheduled for fall 1954 publication, it may not have appeared until January 1955.

Publication may have been delayed while the introduction was rewritten. The ML found the introduction by the German-born Solmsen a little clumsy and sent it to Sidney Kaplan at the University of Massachusetts to improve and clarify the style. (Kaplan received $30 for his editorial work, a tenth of what Solmsen received for writing the introduction.)
