This little volume contains a few specimens of composition in Latin verse, selected from the ordinary exercises of the more advanced boys in the upper, or Rector's class of the High School of Edinburgh during the last year. In giving any degree of publicity to these juvenile attempts, it will be readily presumed that the only objects aimed at have been to reward, in some degree, the past exertions of youthful industry, and to stimulate the efforts of those who may follow hereafter in the same career.

RICARDI PORSONI ADVERSARIA.-Notæ et Emendationes in Poetas Græcos, quas ex Schedis Manuscriptis Porsoni apud Collegium SS. Trinitatis Cantabrigiæ adservatis depromserunt et ordinarunt, necnon Indicibus instruxerunt, Jacobus Henricus Monk, A. M. Carolus Jacobus Blomfield, A. M. Cantabrigiæ. Sumtibus Collegii SS. Trinitatis.

A few copies, beautifully printed on imperial paper and hot-pressed, may be had of the publisher.; This volume contains the Notes and Emendations on the different Greek poets, which were the fruits of the learning and sagacity of the first scholar of the age. At all periods of his life, Porson was in the habit of noting down his restorations of corrupt passages, and the grounds of his opinion, in the margins of books, and in copy-books, or loose papers. After his death, the whole of these precious remains were purchased of his executors by Trinity College, Cambridge. This society, anxious to satisfy the public curiosity, as well as to consult the fame of their late

I

llustrious member, by the publication of this collection, committed to Professor Monk, Mr. Dobree, and Mr. Blomfield, the charge of extracting and editing whatever was fit to meet the public eye. These gentlemen have been above two years occupied in this task, and have now completed a volume containing all that was left by Porson concerning the Greek poets. His observations are digested and arranged by the editors in the mode most convenient to the reader; and an additional value is given to the publication by two copious Indexes. One, of the authors emended or illustrated; the other of the subjects treated. The volume is not a large one, but the matter contained in it, if expanded in the ordinary mode, would fill many volumes. In the corrections of the Fragments in Athenæus, Porson has given specimens of his critical acuteness, aided by his astonishing memory and learning, that exceed all belief. This book is beautifully printed at the Cambridge University press, in Greek types ordered expressly for this purpose, and cast after the models given by the late Professor himself.
