Various
American literature -- 19th century -- Periodicals
Diogenes Laertius à Longolio. Curiæ Regnit. 1739, 8vo. 18 a 24 frs.
Dion Cassius. There exists no 8vo. edition. That of Reimar, Hamburg,
1750, 2 vols. fol. 84 to 96 frs. is far the best. There is a late
cheap one, by Schaefer. Lipsiæ, 1818, (Græce,) 4 vols. 18mo. 15 frs.
Dion Chrysostom. His Orations are published by Reiske, but without a
Latin version. They match, in form and appearance, his Oratores
Attici, 2 vols. 8vo. Lipsiæ, 1784 or 98. 25 frs.
Dionysius Alexandrinus, _Orbis descriptio_, à Wells. Oxford, 1704 or
9, 8vo. 6 a 9 frs.
Dionysius the Areopagite. Not now accounted authentic.
Dionysius Halicarnasseus, _Antiquitates, &c._ à Reiske. Lipsiæ, 1774,
6 vols. 8vo. 80 to 96 frs. The last volume (unfinished at R.'s death)
is by Morus, as is the interesting life of Reiske.
Epictetus, _Enchiridion, fragmenta, et Dissertationes ab Arriano
digestæ_, Schweighæuser. Lipsiæ, 1799, 4 vols. 8vo. 54 frs. Add the
Commentary of Simplicius, by the same editor. Leipsig, 1800, 2 vols.
8vo. 27 francs. These form a dear, but the most valuable edition.
Epicurus, _Physica et Meteorologica_. I would omit these, as every
thing else not having a literary value. We want the taste and the
history of the ancients—not their science.
Eratosthenes and Euclid may be omitted, for the same reason. Of the
latter, however, Van Loin's edition, Amsterdam, 1738, 8vo. 4 or 5 frs.
or Baerman's, Leipsig, 1769, 8vo. 3 to 4 frs. is usually taken for
such collections as this.
Euripides, _Tragœdiae_. Glasgow, 1820, 9 vols. 8vo. 7_l_. 17_s_. 6_d_.
It has the Scholia and the entire notes of Barnes, Beckh, Brunck,
Burney, Elmsley, Herman, Hoepfner, Markland, Monk, Musgrave, Porson,
Seidler, Valcknaer, Wakefield, &c. as well as a copious index.
Eustathias, _Ismeniae et Ismenis Amores_, 8vo. Paris, 1618, ed.
Gaulmin. They are now regarded as the production of Eumathes, a
grammarian of the 14th century, not of the Scholiast. There should be
45 pp. of notes at the end of this edition.
Eutropius, à Verheyk. Leyden, 1762, 8vo. It has the Greek paraphrase
of Pæanius, and the breviary of Sextus Rufus, with a very copious and
judicious selection of notes, 12 a 16 frs.
Florus, _Breviarium_. Bipont, 1810, 8vo. 4 frs: a good edition.
Frontinus, I would omit, with the other Strategetics; or buy them all
(the Latin ones) in the collection at the head of which stands
Vegetius; whom _see_.
Fronto. The fragments of his Orations, published by Maius, (Milan,
1815, 2 vols. 8vo.) are, I fancy, too inconsiderable or disjointed to
be worth having.
Gemistus Pletho, it is not worth while to have.
