Footnote 45:
White marble.—This contempt of white marble is about as wise as
Walpole’s contempt of white teeth, which gave rise to his well-known
expression, “The gentlemen with the foolish teeth.” Yet though a
people have been known to paint their teeth black, white teeth, as
white marble, will keep their fashion.
Footnote 46:
“_Circumlitio._”—See Mr Henning’s evidence before Committee of House
of Commons on the preservation of stone by application of hot wax
penetrating the stone, and his mode of using it, similar to the
encaustic process.
Footnote 47:
In the _Clouds_, Aristophanes makes Socrates swear by the Graces—σοφῶς
γε νῆ τάς χαριτας—twitting him, as the scholiast remarks, upon his
former employment, alluding to his work of the Graces.—_Clouds_, 771.
Footnote 48:
“Inter _statuas_ Græci sic distinguunt teste Philandro, ut statuas
Deorum vocent ἔιδοιλα; Heroum ξοἄνα; Regum ἄνδριαντας: Sapientum
εἴκελα; Bene-meritorum βρενεα; quod tamen discrimen auctoribus non
semper observatur.”—HOFFMANN’S _Lexicon_.
Footnote 49:
We do not presume to be critical upon the Bœotian schoolmaster’s
Greek; but no modern student would take him for an authority in
prosody. He says the impetuosity of the genius of Homer hurried him
into a false quantity in the first line of the _Iliad_, in the word
Θεὰ. Plutarch was forgetful of the rule of _a purum_ in the vocative.
His prejudice is sufficiently shown in his essay _On the Malignity of
Herodotus_, whom he disliked, because the historian did not speak over
favourably of the Bœotians. “Plutarch was a Bœotian, and thought it
indispensably incumbent on him to vindicate the cause of his
countrymen.”—BELOE’S _Herod_.
