purs, la vraie liberté, la douce abondance, la gloire sans tache. Je vous quitte, ô fils d'Ulysse; mais ma sagesse ne vous quittera point, pourvu que vous sentiez toujours que vous ne pouvez rien sans elle. Il est temps que vous appreniez à marcher tout seul. Je ne me suis séparée de vous, en Phénicie et à Salente, que pour vous accoutumer à être privé de cette douceur, comme on sèvre les enfants, lorsqu'il est temps de leur ôter le lait pour leur donner des aliments solides. À peine la déesse eut achevé ce discours, qu'elle s'éleva dans les airs, et s'enveloppa d'un nuage d'or et d'azur, où elle disparut. Télémaque, soupirant, étonné et hors de lui-même,1 se prosterna à terre, leva les mains au ciel, puis il alla éveiller ses compagnons, se hâta de partir, arriva à Ithaque, et reconnut son père chez le fidèle Eumée.2 1 hors de lui-même, entranced;' être hors de soi, 'to be beside one's self.' 2 Eumée. The story of Tele machus meeting his father in the hut of Eumæus is told in the Odyssey (XVI). FIN. R. CLAY, PRINTER, BREAD STREET HILL. *In course of Publication, handsomely printed in 8vo, A SERIES OF THE GREEK AND LATIN AUTHORS, UNDER THE GENERAL TITLE OF BIBLIOTHECA CLASSICA, EDITED BY VARIOUS HANDS, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF GEORGE LONG, Esq., M.A. FORMERLY FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE; AND THE REV. ARTHUR JOHN MACLEANE, M.A. TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE; AND LATE PRINCIPAL OF BRIGHTON COLLEGE. The attention of Scholars is requested to the following editions of the Classics. They are already in use in the leading Public and Private Schools throughout the kingdom, and are admitted to be the best editions for Educational purposes that have been published in this or any other country; they will be found also, on comparison, cheaper than any other editions, English or Foreign, which may stand in the same rank with respect to scholarship. The Second Volume is now ready, price 18s. cloth, containing THE WORKS OF HORACE, WITH A COMMENTARY. BY THE REV. ARTHUR JOHN MACLEANE, M.A. "This handsome volume of the text of Horace is accompanied by an introduction and argument to each poem, which tell the story of the piece, indicate its scope and character, and so far save particular commentary. Yet the annotations are still numerous, though not too numerous for those who intend a thorough study of the poet. To the ardent admirers of Horace, Mr. MACLEANE's criticism sometimes may seem almost depreciatory; but it is searching, reasonable, judicious, and evidently the result of much thought. There is an independent freshness of mind about the editor, quite opposite to the usual idea of the commentator. It is the best edition of Horace extant for English readers."-Spectator. The First Volume, price 16s. cloth, CICERO'S ORATIONS AGAINST VERRES; being Vol. I. of CICERO'S ORATIONS. EDITED BY GEORGE LONG, Esq., M.A. LATE FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. "This remarkable edition of a classical author will lay tutors and students under equal obligations to its editor. There is no Latin writer more generally valuable 2 BIBLIOTHECA CLASSICA. CICERO'S ORATIONS, VOL. I. (continued.) than Cicero, and no part of Cicero more valuable than his Orations. Not only does the language of these speeches convey an unusual amount of classical instruction in the common sense of the term, but their contents include a vast mass of general information on the political and social institutions of the Roman people. If they have been less studied than the philosophical works of the same writer, it has been because they presented considerable difficulties in the absence of any edition elucidating the numerous passages where information is conveyed either obscurely or by allusions. This deficiency Mr. LONG has now supplied, and the finest compositions of Cicero may be read without any more trouble than must necessarily be expended upon elaborate works in a dead language. We have called the edition a 'remarkable' one, and that it is so every classical reader will acknowledge when we specify its characteristics. It is an edition from a master's hand, without a master's caprices. Mr. LONG has been content to write for the reader without writing for himself. He has been content to give a good text without minutely describing how he settled it. He has addressed his commentary to points of real obscurity only, and has, as he avers, 'passed over no passage where he found a difficulty himself, and very few where others found a difficulty.' He has communicated the necessary assistance in few and plain words, his purpose being not to say all that might be said, but all that required saying;' and, when the difficulty is beyond absolute solution, he fairly says so. If there are any students, teachers, or learners, who do not feel the full value of such a rule of annotation, the generation must be quite a new one. In addition to the general usefulness of such a work as this, Mr. LONG has taken the opportunity of certain digressions to convey, what nobody could convey more clearly, a considerable insight into the forms and principles of procedure under the Roman law. Some of these will be interesting only to the advanced scholar, but others communicate a knowledge desirable even for ordinary classical studies, and which, after this publication, ought to be no longer rare."-The Times. The subsequent volumes will be published at intervals, as regularly as may be found practicable. The undermentioned volumes are in progress. HERODOTUS. BY THE REV. J. W.

THE ANABASIS OF XENOPHON : BASED UPON THE TEXT OF BORNEMANN, With Introduction, Geographical and other Notes, chiefly English, Itinerary, and Three Maps compiled from recent surveys, and other authentic documents.

TULLII CICERONIS CATO MAJOR SIVE DE SENECTUTE, LAELIUS SIVE DE III. J. CAESARIS COMMENTARII DE BELLO GALLICO. With Notes, Preface, Introduction, &c. Price 5s. 6d. cloth. "Mr. LONG's name stands deservedly so high, that those who feel any interest in a work like this will need nothing more than the above brief announcement to assure them that we are likely to have here an edition of Cæsar surpassing and superseding any one that has previously appeared in this country. Mr. LONG'S connexion with the work is something more than nominal. It is a bona fide production of his hand,—not a mere make-up from foreign and other sources, labelled with his name. From first to last it bears the impress of his vigorous and wellstored mind."-Athenæum. IV. P. OVIDII NASONIS FASTORUM LIBRI SEX. With English Notes, Br F. A. PALEY. Price 5s. cloth. "An excellent edition, founded on that of Merkel, though the editor has also availed himself of Gierig's and Keightley's. There is a good supply of Notes, which abound in critical, explanatory, and illustrative observations of a very superior cast. Mr. Paley has a strong opinion of the importance of Latin, and GRAMMAR SCHOOL CLASSICS. OVID'S FASTI (continued). his mode of editing the Classical works in that language is well calculated to promote the study of it. We have been so deluged of late years with hastily prepared translations of German editions of the Classics for Schools, that it is gratifying to meet with a bona fide production of English scholarship such as the present."-Athenæum. V. FLACCI QUINTI HORATII FLACCI OPERA OMNIA. With English Notes, BY THE REV. A. J. MACLEANE, M.A. HEAD MASTER OF KING EDWARD'S SCHOOL, BATH. "An abridged or rather a recast edition of Mr. Macleane's larger edition of Horace. This volume is designed for schools, and contains the broadest features of the previous edition, intended for deeper and more refined study than schoolboys will or perhaps can give. So far as regards the object of the poet, the scope of particular pieces, or the explanation of particular passages, this cheaper edition leaves nothing to be desired, as respects the understanding of Horace."-Spectator, Sept. 10, 1853. THE NEW TESTAMENT IN GREEK; BASED ON THE TEXT OF SCHOLZ, With English Notes and Prefaces; a Synopsis of the Four Gospels; and Chronological Tables, illustrating the Gospel Narrative. EDITED BY THE REV. J. F. MACMICHAEL, B.A. Uniform with the "Grammar School Classics." 730 pages. Price 7s. 6d. cloth. "The text of Scholz has been generally followed, and great care has been taken to avoid typographical errors. It is a nicely-printed volume. The Notes and Prefaces in English are short, and almost entirely exegetical. Controverted passages åre, for the most part, left alone, but a great deal of real help is afforded towards the reading of the New Testament."-Guardian. In 12mo, price 4s. cloth, with an improved Set of Figures, BOOKS I-VI.; XI. (1-12); XII. (1, 2.) A NEW TEXT, BASED ON THAT OF SIMSON. LATE SCHOLAR OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE, AND MATHEMATICAL "Mr. Hose has supplied all that was wanting in Simson's valuable work to render the propositions complete in every part-enunciation, construction, demonstration, and corollary. All possible hypotheses are taken into account, every thing requiring proof is rigorously demonstrated, a full explanation is given of each step, and the corollaries, instead of being barely stated, are carefully worked out. Other good points about this edition are strict accuracy of expression, and distinctness of arrangement-the several parts of each proposition being clearly marked so as to facilitate the comprehension and recollection of the whole."-Athenæum.
