edition numberless typographical errors are corrected. The excellence of Tyrwhitt's conjectural emendations is acknowledged by the Reviewer; although he asks, why they were not published in one small supplementary volume. The answer is, they have been printed in a small volume, as every pretender to exact Greek criticism ought to know, twice already: once at London in 1783, which edition is quoted by Schweighæuser in his notes to Polybius, and once by Harles in 1788, from which the French translators have taken his conjectures as far as they have gone, and in general adopted them with acknowledgments of their ingenuity.

The Reviewer praises these emendations highly, and, out of near two hundred, selects six, as being particularly ingenious, and as having been confirmed by manuscripts collated since his death. The first and the last of these six have had no confirmation whatever from manuscripts; the first is not so much a conjecture, as an adoption of the sense given in the old Latin translation: the third is only partially confirmed: and the second and fourth have no pretensions to superior sagacity, as I will leave it to any one conversant in these matters to determine. How unaccountable all this! when, in the imperfect reading which I have myself given to the notes, I have found above twelve very ingenious ones positively confirmed, as many partially confirmed, and at least twenty, far exceeding those selected by him in acuteness and ingenuity, not yet confirmed, but bearing the strongest marks of probability."

He goes on to say,

"Almost the whole of the Editor's own notes are historical and geographical commentaries; which may be of use to the reader, in saving him the trouble of reference."

:

And yet all this is called alloy, p. 449. 1. 32. Besides, what is meant by saving him the trouble of reference? Many of them, nay, most of them, will give him the trouble of reference, if he has an inquisitive turn for they point out the passages in ancient and modern books, which tend to throw any light upon the text, or which contain matter intimately connected with it. In many of them, disputed points of chronology and geography are discussed, and frequently explained by diagrams-incidental elucidations of other authors are given the ancient and modern names are appropriated, often beyond what D'Anville and other geographers have doue-the etymology of many is traced to Oriental words—a concise history of remarkable towns is given the productions, natural history, trade, population, &c. are compared with the accounts of the best modern travellers-a vast

The first number denotes the page, the second the line. 166, 4. 235, 37. 330, 20. 357, 5. 401, 19. 682, 21. 696, 32. 700, 10. 874, 19. 1054, 17. 1179, 22. entirely confirmed. 287, 10. 353, 31. 384, 15. 408, 22. 430, 33. 677, 43. 686, 1. 690, 31. 799, 35. partially confirmed. 166, 34. 290, 20. 308, 22. 354, 29. 378, 25, 425, 6. 459, 6. 493, 14. 602, 8. 732, 7. 733, 10. with a multitude besides, ingenious, although not confrmed.

variety of curious information is scattered through them, of a rambling and miscellaneous kind, but always connected with the text-and, notwithstanding the faulty Latin, sound sense and considerable force of reasoning are always perceptible.

"In History and Geography the Editor displays the same sort of accuracy as in Grammar:" and he supports his charge by ONE specimen. "Philip the son of Demetrius, and father of Perseus, is called repeatedly Philip the Second, though he was the fourth regularly acknowledged King of Macedonia of that name."

This calumny has been completely refuted by Mr. Falconer. There is but one place in which the word secundus is applied to the son of Demetrius: and in that place it possibly 'meant not the second Philip but the next person who destroyed the cities Sciathus and Peparethus, after the war between Philip and the Athenians. I am myself inclined to think it a mistake of the Editor's: nor do I fear that this concession will raise any other feeling but that of contempt or indignation against the critic, who founds a sweeping charge of historical inaccuracy in the whole two folio volumes upon this single. mistake.

Νῦν δὴ μὲν ὄρος βᾶσ ̓ ἐπὶ θήρας

Ita M, qui ἀκυμάντοις reddit fuctibus multum percussis : sed potior est sententia Blomfieldi interpretantis non agitatis fluctibus. Etenim, gymnasiis equestribus melius convenit littus placidum quam vexatum procellis. Nobis tamen displicet ἀκύμαντος, vox apud Tragicos rarissima vel prorsus insolens. Præstat igitur huc referre gl. Hesy chianam 'Αγυμνάστοις, πολυγυμνάστοις, quæ vox ad arenam certantium apprime convenit: et extat, alio licet sensu, quater in Euripideis. Verum neque sic integer est locus.

D. pravam esse scripturam versus præeuntis, sic legendi, Οὐδ', ἥτις ἀρχὴ τῶνδε πημάτων, ἔφη; vice ἔφυ quo bene perspecto, patet veritas lectionis, quam memorat Schol. et servat MS. unus, ήκει. modo sic distinguas ἥκει, πάντα γὰρ σιγά, τάδε. Eodem recidit hæc quoque quæstio: illa etenim cuncta silentio premit.. V. 275. Πότερον ὑπ ̓ ἄτης ἢ θανεῖν πειρωμένη. Sic M. qui bene monuit post Valck. vocem ar apud Tragicos dici de calamitate qualibet sed praesertim de ea, quæ divinitus immissa est. At Chorus nullo jure Nutricem percontatur utrum Phædræ corpus macie extabuerit ex ira

deûm. Qui enim Nutrix hoc sciverit? Ad hoc, plane, ab ingenio Euripidis abhorret ellipsis ista κατέξανται δέμας ante ὑπ ̓ ἄτης. Noli igitur dubitare quin versus sit mendosus, et, si fors faveat, e Codicibus, sin aliter, ex ingenio emendandus. Пóregov in avτng of avavíív megavn; Nonnunquam origov per se est interrogantis: vid.

Πότερον ὑπ' αὐτῆς οἶσθά νιν πειρωμένην cui respondet Nutrix Θανείν, orationem scilicet Chori intermissam ipsa plenam reddens.
