PHILOLOGY. 
Although in this departmentof fcience 
no new works of importance, or editions 
of the clafficks, have been publifhed; yet 
‘the contributions which we have received 
from the pens of feveral learned men, to- 
wards the elucidation of ancient aurhors, 
well deferve our warmeft thanks. 
Of ScuHuTz’s ‘ A{chylus”’ there has 
appeared a new edition, and at the fame 
time a f{maller one, containing the ori- 
ginal corrected text, a very ufeful Latin 
yerfion, and a lift of various readings at 
the end. 
HERRMANN, to whom we are indebted 
for an important and well-founded ana- 
lytical explication of. the Metres of the 
Greek and Roman. Poets, has been em- 
ploying his critical acumen on Euripides, 
and has favoured the literary world with 
*‘ Kuripidis. Hecuba, Grece. G. Herr- 
Manni in eamet in Porfoni et Wake4eldii 
notas_ obfervationes’’ (Svo. maj. Lipf. 
Feind). 
The fame learned author has applied 
his metrical principles to the i!lufration 
of one of the plays of Plautus, viz. 
«¢Plauti Trinummus; recenfuit et pre- 
fatus eft Goporr. HERRMANN” (8 
maj. Lipf. Fleifcher); and in tne preface . 
he lays down the principles according to 
which he purpofes to prepare for the prefs 
a new edition of that comedian. 
One of the moft important of the Phi- 
lological works publifhed laft Eafter-fair, 
is * Simplicii Commentarius in Epiétett 
Enchiridion, ed. SCHWEIGHAUSER (2 
tomi, 8 maj. Lipf. Weidmann). 
SCHMIEDER has given usa very ufe- 
ful fmail edition of Lucian: ‘* Luciani 
Samofatenfis Opera omnia, maxime ex 
ode codd. Parifienfium recenfira, edidit 
C Retrofpe? of German Literature-—Philology: 
Dr. Fr. Schmieder (8vo. maj. Halz, G€«

Of the edition of Herodotus, the firft 
part of which was publifhed under the 
care of Reiz, in the year 1778, the 
fecond part has at length made its ap- 
pearance :. “ Herodoti Hiftoriarum li- 
bri IX. editionem Friderici Volfgangi 
Reizii morte interruptam continuavit Go- 
Dorr. Henr. SCHAFER” (vol 1. pars 
pofterior, Lipf. Schwickert, 8vo.) Mr. S. 
has alfo given another edition of the fame 
auther, which, if not in ufefulnefs, at 
Jeaft in ty pographical beauty, greatly fur- 
pafics the formers the title is “ Hero- 
doti lib. IX. ex optimis exemplaribus 
emendavit et notas criticas adjecit G, He 
Schafer’? (8 maj. Lipf. Sommer). 
An edition of Diodorus Siculus, like 
Reiz and Schafer’s edition of Herodotus, 
has been long a defideratum : but Pro- 
feffor ErcusTapT has begun to fupply 
this want by publifhing ** Diodorus Si- 
culus ex rec. P. Weflelingit ed Eich- 
fiadt (vol. i. Sve. Lipf. Wolf and Co.)

bein’s Engravings of Hamilton’s new 
Colleétion of Greek Wafes—the third 
number of the firft volume has been pub- 
lifhed (Magdeb. Keil), and, like the 
former numbers, is diftinguifhed by much 
learning and very ingenious illoftrations 
of the mythology and other antiquities 
of Greece.

Garve, Profeflor FUuLLEBORN has pub- 
lithee the tranflation of Ariftorle’s Poli- 
tics; and added notes and illuftrative
