Various
American literature -- 19th century -- Periodicals
Sallust, à Krotscher, Lipsiæ, 1825, 8vo. Its price I cannot ascertain.
Gronovius's, Leyden, 1690, 8vo. is likewise good, but somewhat dear—18
francs. The 4to. edition of Havercamp, Amsterdam, 1742, is much
approved, but somewhat overloaded with Commentary. That of Wasse
[Cambridge, 1710, 4to.] is excellent, 10 to 15 frs.
Sappho. See below.
Scribonius Largus. His _Compositiones Medicæ_, [Pharmacy] are in very
bad Latin, besides being out of our range.
Scriptores Antiqui Parabilium Medicamentorum, ab Ackermanno, is
another collection of the same sort—to be, therefore, passed over.
Scriptores Erotici Græci. See Achilles Tatius &c.
Scriptores Physiognomoniæ Veteres, à Franzio, may also be omitted.
Secundus [Joannes.] His _Basia_ and _Epithilamia_ are elegant and pure
enough to enter into a collection of classic Latin poets. There is an
8vo. edition, Warrington, 1776. I do not know its present price.
Sedulius. His _Carmen Paschale_ has no merit but that of orthodoxy;
which, in poetry, is no great affair.
Sappho. The last edition [that of Vogler, Leipsig, 1810, 8vo. 6 frs.]
is said to be without criticism, though {683} surcharged with notes.
It is better, therefore, to take Wolff's 4to. one, Hamburg, 1733, 12
to 15 francs, joining to it his
Poetriarum [Græcarum] Octo fragmenta, Hamburg, 1734, 4to. 12 to 15
francs. It contains the remains of Erinna, Miro, Mirtis, Corinna,
Telesilla, Praxilla, Nossis and Anyta—the eight who, with Sappho, make
those usually known as the Greek Muses. There is a third collection of
Wolff, _Mulierum Græcarum quæ oratione prosa usæ sunt, fragmenta_.
Gottingen, 1739, 4to. 12 to 15 francs. It forms, with the two
preceding, an interesting series.
Seneca. The Elzevir edition [by Gronovius] Amsterdam, 1672, 3 vols.
8vo. is most esteemed, but is become too dear—60 to 80 frs. The later
one of Ruhkopf, Leipsig, 1797-1811, 8vo. 5 vols. 1_l_. 16_s_. is
regarded as very excellent.
Severus [Sulpitius.] His _Historia Sacra_ is of too low an age.
Silius Italicus, Ruperti, Gottingen, 1795, 2 vols. 8vo. is the best
edition, 18 frs. The Preface is by Heyne.
Sophocles. London, 1819, 3 vols. 8vo. 1_l_ 8_s_. It is a reimpression
of Brunck's, with the Scholia; Fragments; a Lexicon Sophocleum; an
Index; Excerpts from the Variæ lectiones of Erfurt's edition; some
inedited notes of Charles Burney; the Scholia of Demetrius Triclinius,
&c.
Statius. That of Veerhusen, Leyden, 1671, 8vo. has been the most
esteemed, but is very dear—30 frs. Lemaire published a very excellent
edition in Paris, 1825, 3 vols. 8vo. Its price I cannot ascertain, but
it is probably 12 francs per volume—the usual rate of his collection
of classics.
Stobæus, _Eclogæ ethicæ et physicæ_, à Heeren. Gottingen, 1792, 2 in 4
vols. 8vo. 30 francs.
Stobæus, _Florilegium_ by Gaisford, Oxford, 1822, 4 vols. 8vo. 2_l_.
8_s_.
