Various
American literature -- 19th century -- Periodicals
Ausonius. I would take him only in a collection: but if apart, the
edition of Tollius. Amsterdam, 1671, 8vo. 15 frs.
Avianus, _Fabulae_, à Cannegieter. Amsterdam, 1731, 8vo. 8 a 12 frs.
Avienus. I would take him in the collection of _Poetae latini minores_
(Wernsdorf.)
Babrius. See Æsop.
Barclay. His _Argenis_ is often brought into this sort of collection.
Leyden, 1664-9, 8 vols. 8vo. 10 to 15 frs.
Bion, Moschus and Theocritus. The beautiful edition from Bodoni's
press, (Zamagna's version; no notes) 1792, 12 to 18 frs. Or, for use,
Valcknaer's excellent edition of 1781. Leyden, 8vo. 12 frs.
Boetius, _de Consolatione_, Bertii. Leyden, 1671, 8vo. 10 to 12 frs.
Cæsar, ab Oberlino. Lipsiæ, 1805, 8vo. 15 frs. papier fin.
Callimachus, Ernesti. Leyden, 1761, 8vo.
Calphurnius, _Eclogae_, I would omit, or get in a collection.
Martianus Capella. This is only worth attention as the first attempt
in scholarship of Hugo Grotius, (then 15 years old.) Leyden, 1599,
8vo. It is worth from 20 to 30 francs, with portraits of the P. de
Condé and Grotius: but much less, when wanting these.
Catullus, Tibullus èt Propertius. The best edition is Vulpius's, of
which the entire set (4 vols. 4to.) is a dear book. In 8vo. the
edition of Gabbema, Utrecht, 1659, (in Italics) is perhaps to be
preferred. Price about 9 francs. That of Grævius (1680) is much
dearer, and scarcely so good. There is a very good Bipont one, which
has the fragments of Gallus and the _Pervigilium Veneris_, 1783, 8vo.
It has, also, a good notitia Literaria; which forms, indeed, one of
the good points common to many of the Deux-ponts books.
Celsus, I would omit, as also Censorinus, _de die natali_.
Chariton, _Chaerea et Callirhoe_, à Reiske. Lipsiæ, 1783, 8vo. 12 a 15
frs.
Chion, _Epistolae_, (à Hoffman), cum fragmentis Memnonis, ab Orélli.
Lipsiæ, 1816, 8 vo. Their authenticity is examined by Hoffman.
Cicero, _Opera_. Of the 8vo. editions, Ernesti's, Halle, 1776-7, 5 in
8 vols. 8vo. (with E.'s Clavis), 60 to 80 frs. (best paper) is good.
Shùtz's, Lipsiæ, 1814-18, 18 vols. 8vo. is perhaps still better, 100
frs. It has, in the last volume, a good Index latinitatis.
