Percy Shelley's translation of Plato's Ion

Shelley's translation of Plato's Ion was first published in 1840 by Mary Shelley in Essays, Letters from Abroad, Translations and Fragments. Shelley probably began his translation in late 1819 but did not end until sometime in 1821, even then leaving it in what Mary Shelley described as “imperfect” condition.
