purious). 'On the
Cosmos,' 'Physiognomies,' 'On Wonderful Auditions,' 'On Colors.'--The
Mathematical works include 'On Indivisible Lines,' 'Mechanics.'

(_b_) The _Practical_ works are 'Nicomachean Ethics,' 'Endemean Ethics,'
'Great Ethics' ('Magna Moralia'), really different forms of the same
work; 'Politics,' 'Constitutions' (originally one hundred and
fifty-eight in number; now represented only by the recently discovered
'Constitution of Athens'), 'On Virtues and Vices,' 'Rhetoric to
Alexander,' 'Oeconomics.'

(_c_) Of _Creative_ works we have only the fragmentary 'Poetics.' To
these may be added a few poems, one of which is given here.

Besides the extant works of Aristotle, we have titles, fragments, and
some knowledge of the contents of a large number more. Among these are
the whole of the "exoteric" works, including nineteen Dialogues. A list
of his works, as arranged in the Alexandrian Library (apparently), is
given by Diogenes Laertius in his 'Life of Aristotle' (printed in the
Berlin and Paris editions of 'Aristotle'); a list in which it is not
easy to identify the whole of the extant works. The 'Fragments' appear
in both the editions just named. Some of the works named above are
almost certainly spurious; _e.g._, the 'Rhetoric to Alexander,' the
'Oeconomics,' etc.

The chief editions of Aristotle's works, exclusive of the 'Constitution
of Athens,' are that of the Berlin Academy (Im. Bekker), containing
text, scholia, Latin translation, and Index in Greek (5 vols., square
4to); and the Paris or Didot (Duebner, Bussemaker, Heitz), containing
text, Latin translation, and very complete Index in Latin (5 vols.,
4to). Of the chief works the best editions are:--'Organon,' Waitz;
'Metaphysics,' Schwegler, Bonitz; 'Physics,' Prantl; 'Meteorologies,'
Ideler; 'On the Generation of Animals,' Aubert and Wimmer; 'Psychology,'
Trendelenburg, Torstrik, Wallace (with English translation);
'Nicomachean Ethics,' Grant, Ramsauer, Susemihl; 'Politics,' Stahr,
Susemihl; 'Constitution of Athens,' Kenyon, Sandys; 'Poetics,' Susemihl,
Vahlen, Butcher (with English translation). There are few good English
translations of Aristotle's works; but among these may be mentioned
Peter's 'Nicomachean Ethics,' Jowett's and Welldon's 'Politics,' and
Poste's 'Constitution of Athens.' There is a fair French translation of
the principal works by Barthelemy St.-Hilaire. The Berlin Academy is now
(1896) publishing the ancient Greek commentaries
