ABSTRACT
Frank H. Peters is best known as the author of the translation of Aristotle's Ethics, which since the date of its publication in 1881 has been a very present help to "Greats" students in time of trouble. The promise of an Introduction in the Preface of the first edition was never fulfilled owing to ill health, and was withdrawn in the Note to the fourth edition. He came to Balliol in 1868, the year after Bosanquet, and as Fellow and Tutor of University College was jointly responsible with him for the teaching of logic. One can see already in this letter the attraction which logic was beginning to exercise upon the writer, and the direction in which his mind was moving in the revision of the theory of the syllogism. 1 His home was still Rock Hall, adjoining the village of that name, some five miles north of Alnwick.
