Mr. H. has difplayed in this volume, as 
well as in thofe which preceded it, ren- 
ders him deferving of the applaufe of all 
friends of ancient literature ; and we can 
predict, that the continuation of his cri- 
tical exertions will infure him lafting 
fame. 
_ * Tfocratis Evagoras,’’ tranflated and 
expounded. for the Ufe of Schools, by M. 
HLEINIG, 1798. pp.xxx, and 1193 8Vo. 
- This tranflation and expofition is fo en- 
tirely deftitute of tafie, and fo much in- 
terior to fimilar works of modern Ger- 
man Philologifts, that we are almoft 
tempted to think that it was publifhed in 
the year 1698 initead of 1798, and that 
the latter numbers are an error of the 
prefs. :

cz,’ with a Tranflation in German 
Rhymes, by S. J. PRacut, Carpenter at 
Schongau ; 1798. pp. 2693 8vo. None of 
all the numerous commentators on the 
Fables of Phadrus, who of late have ap- 
peared before the public, will furprife his 
readers more than mafter Pracht the car- 
penter. But few mechanics would be 
able to perform a fimilar tafk with fo 
much ability and tafte-as he has done; 
nay even many who are literati by pro- 
feffion would find it difficult to excel

0. 1. deferves to be recommended 
as a correct and elegant tranflation of 
Cicero’s tract on Friendfhip. The an- 
notations are appropriate, and afford a 
favourable fpecimen of the author’s critical

elegance and critical tafte. No. 3. feems

1798. pp. 12143 8vo. This volume con. 
cludes the works of Libanius, the pub. 
lication of which was begun fome years 
fince by Mr. R. a celebrated German 
critic. The large mafs of heterogeneous 
matter which fwells this volume to an 
immoderate fize, does, however, not pro- 
mife to add to the fame of the learned 
editor, who, in this inflance, feems to 
have been entirely deferted by the critical 
acutenefs for which he 1s renowned. 
** Homer und die Homerieden,’’ &c. 
Homer and the Homerides, a Tale; 1793. 
pp. 30; 8vo. WoLPF, the famous Ger- 
man philofopher, took great pains to 
prove that Homer had been nothing elfe 
but a finger. ‘The author of this little 
treatife attacks this hypothefis concerning 
Homer, and the manner in which his 
Ilias obtained its prefent form, with the 
arms of ridicule and fcorn, negleéting 
however to adduce folid arguments in 
fupport of his farcaftic inveétives. 
“ Die Wolken,” &c. The Clouds: a 
Comedy of Ariftophanes, tranflated by C. 
G. SCHUTZ; 1798. pp. 1443 8vo. This 
elegant and eafy tranflationof the famous 
Clouds of Ariftophanes is defigned to 
enable thofe who cannot read the origi- 
nal to form a correét idea of the nature 
of ancient comedy, and efpecially of the 
‘dramatic art and comic genius of Arifto- 
phanes. For this reafon Mr. Schutz 
has entirely modernifed the Clouds, as 
much as the nature of the play would ad- 
mit; and we cannot but confefs that his 
tranflation reads like an elegant German 
original.

explicate. Edidit feleéta et in Ufum Scho- 
larum, illuftravit, F.A. Boysen.” 1798. 
pp. 144; 8vo. Faerno,a critic and poet of 
Cremona, who lived in the 16th century, 
turned an hundred A‘fopian and other 
ancient fables into Latin verfe, which 
after his death were pubhifhed at Rome 
‘in the year 1564, bv order of pope Pius 
II. his proteétor. Theie fables are not 
inferior in elegance to thofe of Phzedrus, 
with which, they have the iambic metre 
if. common, The editor has added a fheet 
of explanatory notes, which, however, 
are rather trivial. © =) anlar
