M. Wolfe, of Halle, by a critical illu. 
tration of the four Orations of Cicero 
after his return from exile, has eftablifhed 
by additional arguments Markland’s 
doubts of their genuinenefs. 
In a new edition of Juvenal, “¢ Juvenalis 
Satire, varietate Lectionum, perpetuoque 
Commentario illuftrate’? a Grorc. Ru- 
PERTI; 2 vols. Leipzig, Fritch, 8vo. we 
find every thing collected that has in 
modern and ancient times been faid and 
conjectured, to explain this very difficult 
poet. Ruperti, who is a difciple of 
Heyne, was furnifhed by him with much 
excellent auxiliary matter towards the ex- 
ecution of his defion. More than 80 
manufcripts, and all preceding editions, 
were collated. 
The diligent Oberlin, of Strafburg, has 
finifhed a new edition of 6 Ernefti’s 
Tacitus.°” The continuations of the 
edition of ** Stobzus,’? by Heeren; of 
“6 Strabo,” by Siebenkees and Tfchukke; 
and of ** Xenophon,” by Weifke ; may 
likewife be confidered as important ac- 
quifitions to clafiical literature. 
But, above all, the intelligence that a 
new volume of Jacops’s Commentary 
on the Greek Anthology ; ** Anthologia 
Greca, Tom. X. five Commentarii 
voluminis II. Pars III.”’ 8vo. Leipzig, 
Dyck, has appeared, will be received with 
pleafwre by: thofe who know with what 
trealures of eritical learning it abounds. 
‘The fame excellent philologer has 
given, in a late Number of Wieland’s 
*¢ Attic Mufeum,”’” his countrymen a 
beautiful fpecimien «f the manner in which 
4Eichylus and Demofthenes ought to be 
tranflated. Some faithful and elegant 
tranflations of ancient writers have like- 
_ wile appeared : of “¢ Arrian,”’ by Schulze; 
of the ‘* Orator of Cicero,” by Wolt, ot 
Flenfbere ; of * Pliny’s Letters,” by 
Schafer, of Anfpach ; and of the ** Firtt 
Part of Plato,” by F. Schlegel, of 
Jena. 
Nor was the Fair unproduétive in good 
auxiliary philological books and lexicons, 
among which we may reckon FunKs’s 
« Real Schul-Lexicon,’? and Srurz’s 
‘¢ Lexicon Xenophonteum, Tom? eh. 
A—C.” Of Mannert’s ‘Geography 
of the Greeks and Romans,” the “fecond 
divifion of Part VI. has been pmblithed, 
containing the Geography of Atia Mincr. 
HERMANN, of Berlin, has given us ** A 
Mythology of the Greeks, in 2 vols. with 
a Geographico-hiftorical Introdu&tion and 
Map,” wherein the illuitrative rays, 
whi ich the Heynean {choo] has diffufed on 
mythology, are well concentrated.

« An Archeological Mufeum” ’ is 
edited by Borricer, of Weirnar, and 
Meyer, illuftrated with well. chofen 
plates : and the intelligent StisGLirz has 
given usa capital work on the architec- 
ture of the Greeks and. Romans, viz.

ancient architecture, copied from medals. 
In the ** Acta Societatis Philologicze,” 
edited by Beck, of Leipzig, an account 
in the Latin language is given of the pro- 
grefs of philological {cience. 
We fhall clofe this account of claffical 
publications with a work which for fine 
printing, correctnefs of the text, and the 
magnificence of its ornaments, is equalled 
by few. We allude to the {plendid 
edition of Heyne’s **Virgil,”” in 6 vols. 
with 204 plates. The enterprizing and 
perfevering publifher, Cafpar Frit{ch, 
bookfeller in Leipzig, muft be acknow- 
ledged to have thereby erected a fine mo- 
nument to himfelf and his country. 
Nor have the German philologers been 
negletful of their own and ether modem 
languages. We have the pleafure te an- 
nounce tc our readers the publication of 
the laft volume of ADELUNG’s ** Wor- 
terbuch der Hoch-Deutfchen Mundart ;”° 
Di€tionary of the High-German Dialect ; 
Leipzig, Breitkopf. ‘This monument of 
the Jearning and perfeverance of one man 
will probably bid defiance to the fickle 
humour of innovation, and be generally 
received as the ftandard of the language. 
It confifts of four large quarto volumes, 
each containing about 2000 clolely printed _ 
columns. The whole has been re-moulded 
by the author, and enriched with innu- 
merable additions. The fecond volume,
