Offered here is a handsome hardcover edition of The Ethics of Aristotle, published in 1950 by E. P. Dutton and Company, Inc. of New York as part of the celebrated Everyman's Library series — widely regarded as one of the world's most comprehensive libraries of great books. This new American edition was printed from completely reset type and features an introduction by Professor J. A. Smith and a translation by D. P. Chase. The book is a grey cloth hardcover with elegant red and gold decorative embossing on the front cover and spine, featuring the distinctive Everyman's Library oval medallion design. Red cloth binding strips accent the top and bottom edges, giving the volume a refined, classic appearance. Remarkably, this copy retains its original publisher's plastic shrink wrap, which has protected the boards and kept the book in excellent preserved condition. The shrink wrap shows natural aging with some wrinkling and cloudiness but remains largely intact — a rare find for a book of this age. The interior pages are clean and legible, with only very mild tanning to the page edges consistent with a book printed in 1950. There are no inscriptions, bookplates, library markings, or ownership stamps of any kind. The binding appears tight and secure. This edition also carries the E. P. Dutton centennial colophon (1852–1952), celebrating 100 years of publishing, adding a nice historical touch to an already distinguished volume. A wonderful addition to any philosophy collection or Everyman's Library set.
