:

Alciphron. I would omit his Epistles, or buy the
cheap 8vo. edition of Utrecht, 1791. 3 to 4 francs.
Ammianus Marcellinus. Leipsic, 1773, 8vo. ab Er-
nesti. It is regarded as one of his best editions. There
is an admirable Glossary to it. 13 shillings.
Ammonius de adfinium vocabulorum differentia, I would
not have.

Anacreon, à Fischer. Leipsic, 1793, 8vo. fine paper.

Andronicus Rhodius, I would omit.

1688, Svo. 4 to 5 francs.

Antiphon, Andocides, &c. See Greek orators.
Antoninus Imperator, Meditationes, Græco-Lat. à
Gattaker. Oxford, 1704, 8vo. The notes are short; it
contains a few epistles, judged spurious-5 to 7 francs:
or the Leipsic reprint of 1729, 8vo. 5 to 6 francs.

Antoninus Liberalis, Transformationes. Græc. Lat.-
cum Munckeri notis, et Verheyk. Leyden, 1774, 8vo.

Aphtonius, Progymnasmata. I would omit him, unless

But "revenons à nos moutons :" let us get back to

8vo. 20 francs.

VOL. II-86

Apollonius Sophista, I would omit.

Appian Alexandrinus, Historia, à Schweighæuser. Lipsiæ, 1782-5, 3 large 8vos. to bind in 6: 54 francs. It is regarded as this commentator's best performance. Apuleius, Opera. Bipont, 8vo. It stands next to the 4to. edition of Oudendorp & Rhunken. Leyden, 1786. The latter costs probably 40 to 50 francs.

Aratus, Phaenomena and Diosemia, à Buhle. Lipsiæ, 1796-1808, 2 vols. 8vo. 23 francs.

Calphurnius, Eclogae, I would omit, or get in a collection.

Martianus Capella. This is only worth attention as the first attempt in scholarship of Hugo Grotius, (then 15 years old.) Leyden, 1599, 8vo. It is worth from 20 to 30 francs, with portraits of the P. de Condé and Grotius: but much less, when wanting these.

Catullus, Tibullus èt Propertius. The best edition is Vulpius's, of which the entire set (4 vols. 4to.) is a dear Archilochus, Reliquiae, edente Liebel. Lipsia, 1812, book. In 8vo. the edition of Gabbema, Utrecht, 1659, 2 vols. 8vo. 13 francs.

Archimedes, I would omit, as having no literary francs. That of Grævius (1680) is much dearer, and

Aristides, Orationes,-among the orators. Aristanetus, Epistolae Eroticae, Boissonade. 1822, 8vo.

scarcely so good. There is a very good Bipont one, which has the fragments of Gallus and the Pervigilium Paris, Veneris, 1783, 8vo. It has, also, a good notitia Literaria; which forms, indeed, one of the good points com

Aristarchus. I would omit him, unless in a gram-mon to many of the Deux-ponts books. matical collection, or in a mathematical one.

Aristæus, Historia LXX Interpretum, I would omit, as supposititious, though curious for the discussion that it involves. Hodius's is the edition that contains it; and is also the best. Oxford, 1692, 8vo. 3 to 5 francs. Aristophanes, Comediae, à Brunck. Oxford, 1810, 4 vols. 8vo. with Lexicon Aristophanicum of Sanxay, as 5th vol. (Oxford, 1811,) about 21.

Aristotle, Opera, Buhle. Bipont, 1791-9, 5 vols. 8vo. contain the Organon, Rhetorica and Poetica. The rest is not likely to be ever given: add, therefore,

Aristotelis Ethica, á Wilkinson, Oxford, 1818, 8vo. 9 frs. Aristotelis Politica et Economica, Schneider. Oxford, 1810, 2 vols. 8vo. 18 frs.

Celsus, I would omit, as also Censorinus, de die natali. Chariton, Chaerea et Callirhoe, à Reiske. Lipsia, 1783, 8vo. 12 a 15 frs.

Chion, Epistolae, (à Hoffman), cum fragmentis Memnonis, ab Orelli. Lipsia, 1816, 8vo. Their authenticity is examined by Hoffman.

Cicero, Opera. Of the Svo. editions, Ernesti's, Halle, 1776-7, 5 in 8 vols. 8vo. (with E.'s Clavis), 60 to 80 frs. (best paper) is good. Shutz's, Lipsiæ, 1814–18, 18 vols. 8vo. is perhaps still better, 100 frs. It has, in the last volume, a good Index latinitatis.

Le Clerc's. Paris, 1827, 35 vols. large 12mo. with French translation en regard, is the only edition that is by any means complete. It contains a preliminary dis

Arrian, Opera Omnia, à Borheck, Lemgoviæ, 1792, course; Plutarch's life, translated; a supplement from 1811, 3 vols. 8vo. 18 frs.

Or

Arrian, Tactica, Periplus Euxini, Periplus Erythræi, de Venatione, à Blancard. Amsterdam, 1683 or 1750, 8vo.

9 to 12 frs.

Arrian, Expeditio, et Indica, à Raphelio. Amsterdam, 1757, 8vo.

Artemidorus, Oneirocritica, I would omit, unless I formed a collection of the whole class of writers on Divination, &c.

Middleton's; a copious bibliography of editions. In the 34th and 35th volumes, it has the Apochrypha and Fragments-the Invective against Sallust, and Reply; Discourse to the people, before going into exile; Letter to Octavius; Treatises on the supposititious works. In the 35th volume are Fragments, with an account of the discoveries made among the Palimpsestes, since 1814, with conjectures towards the yet undiscovered works; Fragments of Speeches, Letters, Philosophical works,

Athenæus, Deipnosophistae, à Schweighæuser. Argen- Poems, and the apochryphal de Consolatione, with an torati, 1801-7, 14 vols. 8vo. 188 frs.

Aulus Gellius, Noctes Attica, à Gronovio. Leyden, 1686 or 7, 8vo. 10 a 15 frs.

Ausonius. I would take him only in a collection: but if apart, the edition of Tollius. Amsterdam, 1671,

Introduction. It seems to me a very agreeable literary edition. How far it is a critical one, I have never seen any authoritative decision. Though much ampler than any other, it has not, of course, the parts of orations published about 1830, by Maius, in his Scriptores Classici e Codicibus Vaticanis.

To complete Ernesti's or Schutz's, the Respublica and these fragments are, of course, necessary.

Claudian, à Gesner. Lipsiæ, 1759, 2 vols. 8vo. 15 to 18 frs. best paper. There is also an esteemed edition by Barthius, first published, with much applause, when he was less than 20 years old. Hannover, 1612, 8vo. This, however, was one of his riper works: for he published the Psalms translated into Latin verse, at 12; and at 16, a work on the method of reading the Latin authors, from Ennius downwards.

Caelius Apicius, De opsoniis et condimentis, by Dr. Martin Lister. Amsterdam, 1709, 8vo. 8 a 12 frs. Coluthus, Raptus Helenae. Not worth having; but if taken, the edition of Bekker. Berlin, 1816, 8vo. It is

Cæsar, ab Oberlino. Lipsia, 1805, 8vo. 15 frs. papier the best text, and has seven additional verses-which fin.

Cornelius Nepos, à Fischero. Lipsia, 1806, 8vo. It is edited by Harles, and regarded as an excellent performance. In fine paper, 15 frs.

Florus, Breviarium. Bipont, 1810, 8vo. 4 frs: a good edition.

Frontinus, I would omit, with the other Strategetics; or buy them all (the Latin ones) in the collection at the Corripus, I would omit-as also Demetrius Cydnus, head of which stands Vegetius; whom see. and Demetrius Phalereus.

Fronto. The fragments of his Orations, published

Curtius (Quintus), à Pitisco. Hague, 1708, 8vo. 15 by Maius, (Milan, 1815, 2 vols. Svo.) are, I fancy, too a 20 frs.

Dares Phrygius. See Dictys Cretensis.

Demosthenes, may be taken in the collection of Greek Orators, by Reiske. Lipsiæ, 1770-5, 12 vols. 8vo. Isocrates alone is wanting, in this collection.

inconsiderable or disjointed to be worth having. Gemistus Pletho, it is not worth while to have. Geographiæ Veteris Scriptores Græci (Minores)—a valuable and necessary book, but too enormously dear to be purchased. A new edition has been long in exDictys Cretensis is a forgery not worth having, ex-pectation. The old (Oxford, 1698-1712, 4 vols. 8vo.) cept in mere illustration of the Chivalric Romances; of sells for no less than 80 to 100 dollars. It contains which it is largely the source. Take the edition à Perizo-Hanno, Scylax, Agatharchides, Arrian, Nearchus, nio, Amsterdam, 1702, 8vo. 15 to 18 frs. It includes Dares Heracleotes, Dicæarchus, Isidorus, Scymnus, AgathePhrygius.

Diodorus Siculus, à Wesselingio. Bipont, 1790-1806, 11 vols. 8vo. 108 frs. The 11th contains indexes. It has a good notitia literaria, Essay on the Sources, &c. Diogenes Laertius à Longolio. Curiæ Regnit. 1739, 8vo. 18 a 24 frs.

Dion Cassius. There exists no 8vo. edition. That of Reimar, Hamburg, 1750, 2 vols. fol. 84 to 96 frs. is far the best. There is a late cheap one, by Schaefer. Lipsia, 1818, (Græce,) 4 vols. 18mo. 15 frs.

Dion Chrysostom. His Orations are published by Reiske, but without a Latin version. They match, in form and appearance, his Oratores Attici, 2 vols. 8vo. Lipsia, 1784 or 98. 25 frs.

merus, Various Excerpts, Anonymi expositio Mundi,
Ptolemæi Arabia, Abulfedæ Chorasmia, Ejusdem Ara-

Hecatæus of Abdera. Mere fragments.

of Miletus, in Creuzer's Historicorum Græcorum Vetustissimorum Fragmenta. Heidelberg, 1806, 8vo. They also include part of the preceding. The price I cannot ascertain.

Heliodorus. In the Scriptores Erotici. See Achilles Tatius.

Hellanicus. His fragments were published by Sturz. Leipsig, 1787, 8vo.

Hermogenes Sophista. His Ars Rhetorica (Coloniæ, Dionysius Alexandrinus, Orbis descriptio, à Wells. 1614, 8vo.) I would leave for a collection of another Oxford, 1704 or 9, 8vo. 6 a 9 frs.

Dionysius the Areopagite. Not now accounted authentic.

Herodian, à Ruddiman, 8vo. Edinburg, 1724, 4 frs. Herodotus. Schweighæuser's, (Paris, 1816, 6 vols. 8vo.) is generally esteemed the best edition. 90 frs. A new and valuable edition (by Bähr) is in progress in

Dionysius Halicarnasseus, Antiquitates, &c. à Reiske. Lipsia, 1774, 6 vols. 8vo. 80 to 96 frs. The last volume (unfinished at R.'s death) is by Morus, as is the inter-Germany-the first volume already out. The Transesting life of Reiske.

There are, besides, those Arriano digestæ, Schweighæuser. Lipsia, 1799, 4 vols. of Rennel and Niebuhr-the latter printed in an Eng8vo. 54 frs. Add the Commentary of Simplicius, bylish translation, London, 1830, 8vo. The Lexicon Ionithe same editor. Leipsig, 1800, 2 vols. 8vo. 27 francs. These form a dear, but the most valuable edition. Epicurus, Physica et Meteorologica. I would omit these, as every thing else not having a literary value. We want the taste and the history of the ancients—not their science. Eratosthenes and Euclid may be omitted, for the same reason. Of the latter, however, Van Loin's edition, Amsterdam, 1738, 8vo. 4 or 5 frs. or Baerman's, Leipsig, 1769, 8vo. 3 to 4 frs. is usually taken for such collections as this.

Euripides, Tragadiae. Glasgow, 1820, 9 vols. 8vo. 71. 17s. 6d. It has the Scholia and the entire notes of Barnes, Beckh, Brunck, Burney, Elmsley, Herman, Hoepfner, Markland, Monk, Musgrave, Porson, Seidler, Valcknaer, Wakefield, &c. as well as a copious index.

Eustathius, Ismeniae et Ismenis Amores, 8vo. Paris, 1618, ed. Gaulmin. They are now regarded as the production of Eumathes, a grammarian of the 14th century, not of the Scholiast. There should be 45 pp. of notes at the end of this edition.

Eutropius, à Verheyk. Leyden, 1762, 8vo. It has the Greek paraphrase of Paanius, and the breviary of

Hesiod, à Loesnero. Lipsiæ, 1778, 8vo. 15 a 18 frs. Hierocles, Commentarii in Aurea Carmina, à Warran. London, 1742, 8vo. 10 to 12 frs. The Facetic passing under his name are usually esteemed supposititious. His de Providentia et Fato are not sought for.

Himerius Sophista. His Ecloga et Declamationes, may safely be omitted.

Hippocrates, I would also omit in this collection. If he be taken, the edition of Vander Linden, (Leyden, 1665, 2 vols. 8vo.) is the proper one, but is very dear; common copies of it selling at from 60 to 80 frs.

Historiæ Augustæ Scriptores, I would not embrace in this collection. Suetonius and Eutropius you will have already taken, in another form. Spartian, Julius Capitolinus, Elius Lampridius, Trebellius Pollio, and Vopiscus are without literary value. The 8vo. edition of Leyden (1671, 2 vols.) is both an indifferent and dear book. It sells for 27 to 36 francs; while the esteemed folio edition of Paris, 1620, by Salmasius, sells at from 8 to 10 frs.

Historia Poeticæ Scriptores antiqui, à Gale-em- | Strawberry-hill edition, cum notis Grotii et Bentleii, bracing Apollodorus, Conon, Ptolemæus, Parthenius, cura posteriore Cumberland, 8vo. 1816, 18 frs.

Antoninus Liberalis; with his Dissertatio de Scriptoribus Mythologicis-may be let alone. The single edition is that of Paris, 1675, 8vo., worth 15 to 24 frs. It sometimes is dated London, 1676.

Homer. Ernesti's (Lipsiæ, 1759, 5 vols. 8vo., or its beautiful and faithful reprint, by Foulis, Glasgow, 1814, 5 vols. 8vo.—the latter having also Wolf's prolegomena) is the best general edition, costing 100 francs in the first form, and 120 in the second. The edition of Wolf (Lipsia, 1804-7, 4 vols. 8vo. 20 francs) should also be possessed; nor is it possible to omit mentioning Heyne's very esteemed edition of the Iliad. Lipsiæ, 1802, 8 vols. 8vo.

Horace, à Gesner, cum notis Zeunii. Leipsic, 1788; or Glasgow, 1794, 8vo. 10 to 20 frs. Bentley's emendations and notes have no doubt done much towards the elucidation of Horace; but, as a commentary, Gesner's is certainly preferable. Bentley's edition, however, as reprinted at Leipsig, 1764, 2 vols. 8vo. (15 to 20 frs.) may be added to the forgoing.

Hyginus. I would omit him, with the other mythologues.

Isæi Orationes, in Reiske's Orators.

Isocrates, Orationes et Epistolæ, à Coray. Paris, 1807, 2 vols. 8 vo. 21 frs. The notes, in modern Greek, are very valuable. A learned disquisition on the Greek education and tongue is prefixed.

Lucian, Opera. Hemsterhuy's edition, with Gesner and Reiske's notes, as reprinted at Deux-Ponts, 178991, 10 vols. 8vo. 80 to 100 francs, is no doubt the completest. There is, however, the excellent and much cheaper one of Schnieder. Halle, 1800, 2 vols. 8vo. 30 francs. It has no interpretation, but offers esteemed notes, and some valuable readings.

Lucilius. That of the Vulpii, Patavii, 1735, 8vo. is no doubt best. 4 to 6 francs.

Lucretius. Bentley and Wakefield's edition, in the Glasgow reprint of 1813, 4 vols. 8vo. 2l. It is beautifully printed by Bell, rivalling the Foulis.

Lycophron may fairly be left to the lovers of the unintelligible.

Lycurgus. Take him in Reiske's Orators.

Lysias. Also in Reiske's Orators.

Macrobius, Opera, à Vulpiis fratribus. Patavii, 1736, 8vo. 6 to 9 frs. The edition of Gronovius is more commonly taken (Leyden, 1670, 8vo.) but is dearer-18 to 24 francs.

Manilius. His Astronomicon may be omitted, as striving in vain to make good poetry out of very bad astronomy.

Martial. The Bipont edition, 1784, 8vo. after the variorum of Schrevelius. The Amsterdam (1701, 8vo.) after the Delphin Editor Collessus, is usually taken. But it is rather dear (about 20 francs); and has, besides, a of the loci obscani into a sort of There are rare copies, in which the but they sell very high-50 francs

Josephus, à Havercamp et Hudson. Lipsia, 1782-5, 3 vols. 8vo. 80 francs. A volume of Commentary and Index was to have followed. I do not know if it has ever appeared.

Julian Apostate. His Casares (Heusinger, Gotha, 1736, 8vo. 6 to 8 frs.) and his In Constantii laude Oratio (Schæfer, Leipsig, 1802, Svo. 7 frs.) may be taken. St. Justin may be omitted in this collection. Justinian, Corpus Juris Civilis, &c. omit. Justin. Bipont edition, 1784, or Argentorati, 1802, 8vo. 5 frs. Very good and cheap edition, with a good notitia literaria.

Juvenal and Persius, cura Ruperti. Lipsia, 1801 or 1818, 2 vols. 8vo. 27 frs.

Lactantius is to be omitted, of course.

Libanius, as a sophist, not an orator, may be excluded. Leonidæ (the two) should be taken only in the Anthology.

use.

Meleager. I would take his Epigrams, &c. in the Anthology.

Menander. Of his Fragments, Meineke's edition, Berlin, 1823, 8vo. is the best. The older one of Le Clerc which gave occasion to that fierce literary war between Bentley, Gronovius, Burmann, De Pauw and others-is very defective; though hitherto usually employed.

Minucius Felix, as purely ecclesiastical, should be omitted.

Moschion. His de Mulieribus we should, of course, exclude from any but a medical collection.

Musæus. His Hero and Leander is best edited by Schræder. Leovardiæ, 1742, 8vo. 10 to 12 frs. That Livy, Recensuit Drachenborch, edidit Crevier. Ox- of Magdeburg (by Carpzovius) 8vo. 1775, is of some ford, 1822, 4 vols. 8vo. 11.18s.

Longinus. Toup's (Oxon, 1778, 8vo.) though not sufficiently correct in the typography, is the Editio opt. It is, however, of a form somewhat too large-royal | 8vo. 8 to 10 frs.

Longus, Daphnis et Chloe. It should be taken in the Bipont Erotici Græci ; though this wants Courier's restoration of the chasm of eight pages. The latter may be seen in one of the volumes of the Classical Journal. There can scarcely be said to be any edition that contains it: for Courier's (Rome, 1810, 8vo.) was printed for private distribution only-52 copies. It has the Greek text alone. The complete version (French) may be found in the works of Paul Louis Courier.

esteem. Its preface is curious.

The Mythographi Latini, collected by Muncker, (Amsterdam, 1681, 8vo. 12 to 18 frs.) consisting of Hyginus, Planciades Fulgentius, Lactantius Placidus, and Albricus Philosophus, may be omitted.

Nemesianus. His Cynegetica, &c. are given in that volume of Wernsdorf's Poetæ Lat. Minores, which contains the poems de Venatione et Piscatu, [the 1st.]

Nemesius, de Natura Hominis, may be omitted. Nicander. His Alexipharmics and Theriacs may be banished, with no great harm, among the medical writers.

Nicolaus Damascenus. The fragments of his concinnated Universal History should have a place in a hisLucan, Pharsalia. Take the Glasgow reprint of the torical, but scarcely in a literary collection.
