Translations of Classic Authors, p. 52. 



To the list of translations of Greek classics into the Eng- 

 lish language, during the late century, add the following: — » 

 Pindar, by West ; Anacreon, Bum, Moschus, and Theo- 

 critus, by Fawkes; and Anacreon, by Moore. 



To the catalogue of versions of Latin classics into English, 

 during the same period, we may add, the Bucolics and Geor- 

 gics of Virgil, by Professor Martyn, of Cambridge; and 

 the Comedies of Plant us by Thornton. 



The translation of the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer, into 

 French, near the beginning of the century, by Madame Da- 

 cier, is among the numerous monuments of the learning and 

 talents of that distinguished woman. 



The works of Plutarch were translated into French, early 

 in the century, by M. Amiot, and, mere recently and ably, 

 by M. Riccard. 



* The translation of the Bucolics and Georgics of Virgil^ 

 into Greek hexameters, by Eugenius, a Russian Archbishop, 

 is a singular specimen of literary labour. This work was 

 splendidly printed, towards the close of the eighteenth cen- 

 tury, under die patronage, and at the expense of Prince Po- 

 temkin. 



NOTES ON CHAPTER XIV. 



Hebrew Literature, 



AMONG the numerous Hebrew Grammars which have 

 solicited public attention during the last age, respectful notice 

 ought to be taken of " A Plain and Complete Grammar of 

 the Hebrew Language, with and without Points" By An- 

 selm Bayly, LL. D. 8vo. 1774. 



The Tractatus Stigmologicus of the Rev. Thomas Bos- 

 ton, a pious and learned clergyman of North-Britain, de- 

 serves a distinguished place in the list of those publications 

 which do honour to the eighteenth century, with respect to 

 Hebrew literature. It is too little known, and as it is more 

 read, will be more esteemed.
