Payne's translation is superior because it corrects nearly 1,000 errors and omissions in the Haldane-Kemp translation, and it is based on the définitive 1937 German édition of Schopenhauer's work prepared by Dr. Arthur Hiibscher. Payne's édition is the first to translate into English the text's many quotations in half a dozen languages, and Mr. Payne has provided a comprehensive index of 2,500 items. It is thus the most useful édition for the student or teacher.
