But “revenons à nos moutons:” let us get back to our ancients; of
whom, I believe, you will find the annexed list a careful and a
copious one. I have consulted, in compiling it, the following leading
authorities: Morhof, _Polyhistor Literarius_; Fabricius, _Bibliotheca
Graeca_; Idem, _Bibliotheca Latina Vetus_; Idem, _Bibliographia
Antiquaria_; Idem, _Historia Bibliothecae suae_; Saxius, _Onomasticon
Literarium_; Saldenus, _De Libris corumque usu et abusu_; Panzer,
_Annales_; Renouard, _Annales des Aldes_; Cave's _Chartophylax_; Le
Clerc, _Bibliothèque Universelle_; Idem, _Bibliothèque Choisie_;
Bayle, _Dictionaire historique, &c._; the great French _Biographie
Universelle_; Barbier, _Dictionaire des Anonymes et pseudonymes_;
Cailleau, _Dictionaire bibliographique_; Harwood, _View of the
Classics_; Adam Clarke, _Bibliographical Dictionary and Miscellany_;
Dibdin, _Guide to the Classics_; Moss, _Classical Bibliography_;
Dunlop, _Roman Literature_; Schoell, _Littérature Grecque_;
Hartshorne, _Book rarities of the University of Cambridge_; Bent's
_London Catalogues_; Idem, _Literary Advertiser_; Anthon's
_Lempriere's Dictionary_; Watts's _Bibliotheca Britannica_; Lowndes's
_Bibliographer's Manual_; but, much more than all, Brunet's excellent,
exact, eminently useful _Manuel du Libraire_—a book which should be in
the hands of every man attempting to pursue any thing like systematic
study.
Editions of a series of Greek and Roman classics, 8vo. _cum notis
selectis variorum_.
Achilles Tatius, (_Clitophon et Leucippe_) Heliodorus, (_Æthiopica_)
Longus, (_Daphnis et Chloe_) et Xenophon, (_Ephesiaca_.) Bipont,
1792-4. Four parts in 3 vols. 8vo. 25 francs.
Ælian I would omit—both his _Historia Animalium_ and his _Variae
Historiae_.
Æschines—in the Greek orators; which see.
Æschylus, _Tragædiae_, (à Schutz.) London: 1823, 5 vols. 8vo. 2_l_.
12_s_. 6_d_. It has the Scholia, and Schutz's Notes.
Æsop, _Fabulae_, Gr. et Lat. Leipsic: 1810, 8vo. Cum notis vario. et
de Furia: accedunt dissertationes Tyrwhitt de Babrio, Huschkii de
Archilocho, et Bentleii de Æsopo. There is a cotemporary, and perhaps
more esteemed edition, by Coray, (Paris, 8vo.) but I should prefer the
first, for the Accessus.
Agathemerus (_Geographia_) I would omit, till they publish the new
edition of Scriptores Geographiæ Minores.
Alcæus, Fragmenta. Halæ: 1810—à Stange, 8vo. 5 francs.
Alciphron. I would omit his Epistles, or buy the cheap 8vo. edition of
Utrecht, 1791. 3 to 4 francs.
Ammianus Marcellinus. Leipsic, 1773, 8vo. ab Ernesti. It is regarded
as one of his best editions. There is an admirable Glossary to it. 13
shillings.
Ammonius _de adfinium vocabulorum differentia_, I would not have.
Anacreon, à Fischer. Leipsic, 1793, 8vo. fine paper. 16 to 18 francs.
Andronicus Rhodius, I would omit.
Anonymi Ravennatis _Geographia_, à Porcheron. Paris. 1688, 8vo. 4 to 5
francs.
