OF TRE GREEK AND ROMAN CLASSICS

Aristoteles. de Mirabilibus Auscultationibus, Gr. et Lat. Gotting.

1786, in 4to. This collection of strange stories, which may be drawn

from Aristotle’s works, is illustrated by the copious and curious notes of John Beekman, the editor.

APoLLopert ATHENIENSIS Bibliotheca, Greek et Lat. cum notis Chr. G. Heyne. Gotting. 1782, 1783, 4 vols. in }2mo. The text is comprised in the first volume : the three Inst are a mine of mythological erudition.

Porysn Mecarorouran: Historiarum quicquid superest, Gr. et Lat. recensuit, digessit, illustravit Johannes Schleigheuser. Lipsiæ, 1789—1793, 6 vols. (yet unfinished) in 8vo. This accomplished edition, both for the text and notes, will soon extinguish the preceding ones. The fragments are disposed in such lucid order, that we seem to have recovered the forty books of the history of Polybius

The General History of Porysivs, translated from the Greek, by Hampton. London, 1772, 1773, 4 vols. in 8vo. The English translator has preserved the admirable sense, and improved the coarse style of his Arcadian original. A grammarian, like Dionysius, might despise Polybius for not understanding the structure of words; and Lord Monboddo might wish for a version into Attic Greek.

L’ Histoire de Potyse traduite du Grec par le Père Vincent Thullier, avec un Commentaire Militaire par le Chevalier de Folard, Amsterdam, 1758—1759, 7 vols. in 4to. The mixed offspring of a monk ignorant of tactics, and a soldier ignorant of Greek. . Language and history are tortured to support the column ; but in his modern anecdotes and observations, Folard is lively, interesting, and authentic.

Dioporus Sicuzus.—Histoire Universelle de Diopors DE SiciLz, traduite par l Abbé Terasson; Paris, 1756, 7 vols. in 12mo. The execution

tion is tolerable, but the design was singular for a mathematician, who despised history and the ancients.

Apo.tontt Sophistæ Lexicon, Iliad et Odyss. ab Hrzronym. ToLcro, Ludg. Bat. 1788, 2 vols. 8vo.

.Novum Lexicon Gracum m Pmparum er Homerum a Curist. Toxsia Damm. Benoit, 1774, 4to. If we compare these two Lexicons, the Greek in his long language must veil: bis bonnet to the German, a most useful interpreter of Homer.
