Thucydides Gr. et Lat. ex recensione Imm. Bekkeri. Accedunt Scholia Græca et Dukeri Wassiique annotationes. 4 vols. 8vo. Oxonii, 1821.

This is not only an elegantly executed, but an intrinsically valuable edition of Thucydides. Some Mss. have been collated, and some readings inserted, for the first time; and hence the text assumes, in consequence, the importance of an editio princeps as to those passages. The preface of the Editor is short, pertinent, and unostentatious; assigning reasons in the formation of his edition, which few scholars can read without a desire to become possessed of the work. The Scholia are printed beneath the Greek text. The various readings and annotations &c. in double columns, are placed below the scholia. An Index of things, and another of places and names close the third volume. The fourth volume contains the Latin version of Duker. An edition of Thucydides, in this form, and with these helps, has long been a desideratum in the classical world; but such a copy of it as the present, upon LARGE PAPER-of which only twelve were printed, and placed in private cabinets-must, I apprehend, become a desideratum with the curious collector, not likely to be readily supplied.-Dibdin's Ædes Althorpiana, vol. i. p. 135-6.

C. Crispi Sallustii Opera. 8vo. Brixiæ, 1819.

This edition, which is intended also as the first volume of a new Collection of Latin Classics, is founded as to the text on the Cominian one; the notes, which are wholly philological, are selected from De Brosses, (who meditated an edition of this author, but left it unfinished,) from Firmicus Abidenus, whose notes the editor, Barthol. Nardini, describes as 66 magna præ cæteris æstimatione dignæ," and from Cortius. The Editor has himself contributed a preface, a life of Sallust, and a "compendium historicum."

M. T. Ciceronis Orationes Philippica in Antonium, textum ad Cod. Vat. aliorumque librorum opt. fidem castigavit, not. var. edit. Grævianæ aliorumque interpretum, integro G. Garatonii commentario nondum edito, et suis animadv. instruxit, denique Manutii commentarium et indices adjecit Greg. G. Wernsdorf. Tom. I. 8vo. Lipsiæ, 1821.

This volume, though it numbers 650 pages, comprises only two orations, under the text of which are placed the notes of Ferrarius, Faernus, Abramius, Grævius, Gruter, J. M. Heusinger, and the very copious ones of Garatonius. These latter were intended for vols. 12 and 13 of the Naples edition of Cicero's works begun in 1777, but being discontinued from loss of some of the Editor's papers, and want of capital, they remained for the last 20 years in the writer's desk, till the present Editor, at the suggestion of Fr. Aug. Wolfius, applied for them to adorn his edition. The learned writer is since dead, which is one among other reasons of their being given intire, and consequently increasing the bulk of the volume. The editor has been assisted in settling the text by a Vatican Ms., a Jena one, and one" ex Monasterio Teegernseensi." The Vatican Ms. had already been used by G. Faernus, M. A. Muretus (both of whose pre

faces are given as containing some observations on it,) F. Ursinus, and by G. Garatonius, who calls it " omnium præstantissimus."

The Editor's notes, as indeed those of all the annotators, excepting Abramius, are for the most part critical.

NOTICE OF

The SPIRIT OF THE GOSPEL, or the Four Evangelists Elucidated by Explanatory Observations, Historical References, and Miscellaneous Illustrations, by the Rev. W. S. GILLY, M. A. London : Whittaker, 10s. 8vo.

EVERY undertaking, whose object is to explain those passages in the Evangelical writings of the New Testament over which the hand of time, during the lapse of eighteen centuries, united with the remoteness of the scene, and the total difference of manners, opinions, and usages from their present state, has thrown a veil of obscurity, deserves the favorable, and even grateful, attention of the Christian world. That the difficulties alluded to have been removed by the investigations of learned men, as far, perhaps, as human ingenuity will permit, and complete illustrations afforded of those obscure passages, forms no objection to the utility of the present work. It may be added, as a valuable fact, that the discoveries and reports of modern travellers into the Holy Land, have amply confirmed the assertions of the sacred writers, as well as of the commentators and expositors, with respect to local customs and national opinions. But it happens that all this information is dispersed in such a variety of directions, and lies mixed up in such large masses of biblical erudition, that the generality of mankind, who have neither time nor talent for such studies, and yet are desirous of satisfaction on points so intimately concerning their faith and happiness, are compelled to remain in ignorance or uncertainty.

Before the reader can profit by the more useful of these clucidations, he must, as Mr. Gilly observes, wade through voluminous and expenVOL. XXVI.
