Annotations in a copy of The Nicomachean ethics of Aristotle, translated by J. E. C. Welldon (1892), ca. 1894.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/770297781

Copious annotations by William Romaine Newbold in black and red ink, in the margins of the pages, as well as on several blank leaves bound into a copy of J. E. C. Welldon's English translation of Aristotle's Nicomachean ethics (London: Macmillan and Co., 1892). The half-title is inscribed with Newbold's name, dated University of Pennsylvania, October 1894, the year in which he was promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. The annotations on the extra leaves include lengthy notes that analyze separate books of the work in outline form. Two quotations are also inscribed on the half-title, one in Greek, and the other a quotation about Aristotle from Henry Sidgwick's Methods of Ethics.
