They are good but unfortunately they lack the standard section numbering which is useful when looking up references.
I've already started this, and used the Henry Cary HTML versions of the translation of "Apology", "Crito", and "Phaedo"; they are much better laid out than the Jewett text versions and have footnotes, etc. Have you any thoughts on how good or otherwise they are? Would you recommend that I use the Jewett versions instead?
The Jewett versions have nice introductions, though, so I've used those.
I'd appreciate your advice, because I know that this is your professional field of knowledge, whereas I'm strictly an "amateur".
