The Adversaria of Professor Porson consists of the notes and emendations on the different Greek poets, which he left in manuscript. He was in the habit of noting down his restorations of corrupt passages, and the grounds of his opinion, in the margins of books and in copy-books or on loose papers. After his death, all that he thus left was purchased by Trinity College, Cambridge. Professor Monk and Mr. Bloomfield have been two years occupied in arranging and selecting what was proper for publication; and have now completed a volume containing No. 1. Vol. III.

Proposals have been issued for publishing a new edition of H. Stephens' Greek Thesaurus. It is to be edited by A. J. Valpy, A. M. late fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford, and Mr. E. H. Barker of Trinity College, Cambridge-to be printed at Mr. A. J. Valpy's press, London. The references will be verified, and the work of Scott, as well as the additional words in Stephens' Index will be incorporated: with other improvements to be specified in the Prospectus. It will be published in twenty four numbers at 11. 1s. each-large paper 21. 2s. It is to be completed in four or five years. Subscribers' names are to be sent to Mr. A. J. Valpy, Tooke's Court, Chancery lane. They will be printed with the Prospectus. When the subscription closes the price will be materially in

creased. [The present price of Stephens' Greek Thesaurus we understand is sixty guineas. The intended republication of it seems to have received the most respectable patronage. The names of about six hundred subscribers are given with the advertisement. The work of Scott, mentioned above, is in two folio volumes, not large, and loosely printed. It contains words omitted by Stephens, and additional significations and further examples of the use of some of those, which he has inserted. It was published at London in 1745. Its author, Daniel Scott, was likewise the author of several other works. There are two copies of it in the Library of Harvard College.]
