This is George Burges nineteenth-century translation of Plato’s seventh letter. It is an autobiographical account of a period in the Greek philosopher’s life when he visited Syracuse (Sicily) to see his friend Dion. He shared his philosophical beliefs with his friend but this indirectly led to the death of Dion on the order of Dionysius, ruler of Syracuse. In the latter part of the letter Plato shares some of his philosophical beliefs, such as it is better to suffer injustice than to do it.
