with all other Greek editions of that historian that have hitherto appeared.

The miscellaneous Latin Essays of the late celebrated Professor Wyttenbach, have been published (for the first time collectively) in two large octavo volumes.

PREPARING FOR PRESS.

Baron Otto M. Von Stackelberg has long been employed on a great work on the Temple of Apollo Epikurios, near Phigalia, in Arcadia, under the ruins of which, he and several artists and connoisseurs found, in the year 1812, the celebrated bas-reliefs which are now in the British Museum. The remarks and measurements made by himself on the spot, are here arranged, and the plates, executed under his own direction from his very accurate drawings, by able artists, partly in the line manner, and partly as finished etchings. In 31 plates in folio, one frontispiece, and three vignettes, engraved by C. Riechart, T. Gmelin, D. Marchetti, &c., we have views of the country and of the ruins of the temple, both before and after the rubbish was cleared away; the ground plan and restoration of the temple; the connexion and completion of the whole interior frieze; finished plates of the several bas-reliefs, three-quarters the size of the originals; lastly, fragments of the Metopes and of the statue of Apollo. The text gives a description of the country and of its inhabitants; an account of the excavation and its success; of the condition of the temple, with reflections on its architecture; on the arrangement of the pieces of the frieze; on the meaning and connexion of the subjects represented, with general observations on the sculpture; and, lastly, remarks on the Metopes and the statue. In the Appendix there is an account of the Lycan Mountains, Messene, the Panhellenion in Egina, and the Mainots. The work will appear both in German and in French, and be printed without delay. The author has himself undertaken to publish it, and a sufficient number of subscribers have already set down their names. The title will be, "The Temple of Apollo at Bassia," &c.

M. Von Stackelberg is also preparing another work for publication, which will be perfectly similar in form and execution to the preceding, and will furnish an extremely important addition to our knowledge of Art and Antiquity. The author has here put together all his researches respecting the Greek sepulchres, an investigation hitherto but little touched on, and which affords much novelty and information. The subjects represented in the plates are drawn, partly from monuments, discovered and dug up by the author and his fellow travellers, and partly from other works existing in Greece. The whole is engraved by the same artists as the preceding, in 76 plates, imperial folio, and six vignettes, some of which, where the nature of the subject required it, are colored.

The Romaic Vade-Mecum, or Traveller's Pocket Companion; being a translation of Madame Genlis' Familiar Conversations into the modern Greek, English, and Italian. By Marianna, Caterina, and Teresa Macri, of Athens, assisted by natives of England and Tuscany; for the support of themselves and mother, the widow of Procopio Macri, English consul at Athens during twenty-six years, who fell a victim to the Malaria fever, while accompanying an English gentleman in his tour through the Morea. Compelled, by the calamitous devastation and extreme personal danger every where around them, to quit Athens, and, with it, their means of subsistence, and seek an asylum in Corfu, they at length feel constrained to make this appeal to a generous public, trusting that they, at the same time, offer, to all interested in researches in Greece, a valuable and long-desired auxiliary. An attempt will be made to substitute, for the usual unprofitable prefaces of similar works, a compendious view of the pronunciation, declensions, and conjugations, as in general use among the modern Greeks. This, it is presumed, with the dialogues, will furnish every thing necessary, not only for oral intercourse, but for reading and writing, with as much accuracy, if not with the same facility, as the natives, and in a great measure supersede the necessity of any other elementary book.It will prove an almost equally useful auxiliary to the Greek studying English or Italian, and to the Italian studying Greek or English.-Subscriptions received by the Rev. George Winnock, Chaplain to the Forces, Corfu; by Miss Winnock, Searsdale house, Kensington; and by J. Souter, 73, St. Paul's Church-yard, London.-Price, to Subscribers, 7s. each copy, square 12mo. neatly half-bound.
