Non tantum cum ἑλέσθαι et αἱρεῖσθαι, sed jungit et præpositionem ἀντὶ cum προαιρείσθαι et προελέσθαι, ̓Απομν. ii. p. 440. 39. θάνατον ἀντ ̓ αὐτῷ προαιρετέον. iv. p. 471. 22. ἀντὶ τῶν ἀφελέντων τὰ βλάπτοντα προαιρεῖσθαι. et p. 476. 21.

III. GREEK LITERATURE.

Or the Greek authors, Homer and the tragic poets have attracted most notice in Germany, whilst Plato among the prose writers, on account of the philosophical spirit of the German schools, has been the greatest favorite. The following are the most eminent works in this department recently published.

1. Two Editions of Homer made their appearance at the commencement of the present century. One was published by Heyne in 1802: "Homeri Carmina, cum brevi annotatione. Accedunt variæ lectiones et observationes veterum grammaticorum, cum nostræ ætatis criticâ." And the other published by Wolf in 1804, under the title of "Homeri et Homeridarum opera, et reliquiæ." These rival editions produced several polemical disquisitions, and have given rise to two new schools among the admirers of Greek learning in Germany. The

contest has been productive of much advantage to the cause of learning in general, and among the various writings which have issued from the press on the subject, the following may be consulted with great benefit: "Réfutation d'un paradoxe littéraire par M. St. Croix ;" "L'Histoire d' Homère par M. Delisle de Sales;" "Sur l'invention de l'écriture alphabétique et son usage dans la plus haute antiquité, par M. Léon Hug. Ulm, 1804. 4to."

2. "Homeri Hymni et Batrachomyomachia: denuo recensuit, auctario animadversionum et varietate lectionis instruxit, atque Latinè vertit A. Matthiæ." Lipsiæ, 1805. M. Matthias is the same learned critic who published in 1800 "Animadversiones in Hymnos Homericos, cum prolegomenis de cujusque consilio, partibus, ætate.”

Homeri Hymni et Epigrammata; edidit G. Hermannus. Lips. 1806.

The above valuable edition is the same which was reprinted in 1808, at Strasburg, from the text of Quintus Smyrnæus, by Professor Tychsen of Gottingen. The revision of the text occupied the Professor a long time, and in the course of his travels he consulted almost all the MSS. now existing in Europe. Those of the Escurial, at Naples, and at Munich, were particularly useful. Mr. Tychsen is already known as the publisher of "Commentatio de Quinti Smyrnæi Paralipomenis Homeri, quâ novam Carminis editionem indicit." Prefixed to the present edition will be found a new and interesting dissertation on the work, its author, and the sources from which he seems to have borrowed. The second volume contains notes variorum, and a comparative examination of the different MSS. some observations of Mr. Heyne, and a copious index.

Before quitting Homer, it may be proper to mention the following work as referring to events which he had already sung: "Coluthi de raptu Helenæ Carmen, gr. ad fidem codd. MSS. cum notis I. D. Lennepii et Ph. Mich. de Scio, ejusdemque versione Lat. metricâ ; et Lennepii animadversionibus, ac suis notis edidit L. H. Teucherus." Lips. 1808. The notes of Lennep on the poem of Coluthus, and the translation into Latin verse by Michel de Scio, having become extremely rare, induced M. Teucher to favor the learned with the present
