ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΥ ΧΟΗΦΟΡΟΙ. THE CHOEPHORE OF ESCHYLUS. A NEW EDITION OF THE TEXT, WITH NOTES, CRITICAL, EXPLANATORY, AND PHILOLOGICAL, DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS IN THE UNIVERSITIES. BY THE REV. THOMAS WILLIAMSON PEILE, M.A., SENIOR FELLOW AND TUTOR IN THE UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM, AND LONDON: JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET. MDCCCXL. 809. TO THE RIGHT REVEREND EDWARD MALTBY, D.D., LORD BISHOP OF DURHAM, AND VISITOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM. MY LORD, The permission which you have given me, to dedicate this volume to your Lordship-while it demands my first acknowledgements as a member of that University which, bereft as it has been of two "nursing Fathers," has great reason to rejoice in your Lordship's no less paternal countenance and protection-affords me a welcome opportunity, also, of recording the deep respect with which, as a Cambridge man, I have long reverenced the classic name of MALTBY, and with which I still regard your Lordship as (I believe) the oldest surviving Critic of the School of PARR and PORSON. -As it affects the general reader, it enables me indirectly to divulge your Lordship's approbation of my very imperfect, but certainly well-intended, endeavours to be useful; and so, to send forth my second publication under sanction of an authority, which none will respect more highly than those whom of all others I am most anxious to conciliate. 1 Dr. William Van-Mildert the Bishop, and Dr. John Banks Jenkinson (Bishop of St. David's) the Dean, under whose beneficent auspices the University of Durham had its origin. |
