Various
American literature -- 19th century -- Periodicals
Strabo. That of Siebenkees and Tzschucke [Leipsig, 1796-1818, 7 vols.
8vo. 108 francs] is usually preferred. Corey, however, published at
Paris, 1816-19, in 4 vols. 8vo. an excellent edition, with much
improved readings, and a very judicious commentary. It has no Latin
Version. 54 francs. This may be said to be part of that excellent
performance of Coray and du Theil, the French translation of Strabo;
of which the notes and dissertations offer such important
illustrations of the Geographer.
Strato. His _Epigrams_ are in the Greek Anthology. See Anthologia.
Suetonius, à Wolf. Lipsiæ, 1802, 4 vols. 8vo. 36 francs. It has the
notes of Casaubon and Ernesti; the _Ancyran Monument_, and the _Fasti
Prænestini_. There are also many notes of Ruhnken.
Synesius. His _Hymni_, _Epistolæ_, _de Insomniis_ and _de Febribus_
may all be passed over.
Tacitus. I should prefer the Commentary of Brotier to all others. The
original edition, [4to. Paris, 1771, 4 vols.] is scarce and dear.
Valpy has reprinted it very handsomely, London, 1812, 5 vols. 8vo.
2_l_. 18_s_. To Broitier's notes he has added a selection of others,
and the inedited annotations of Porson. There is a very excellent
edition, remarkable as a monument of feminine scholarship, by Mrs.
Grierson, Dublin, 1730, 3 vols. 8vo. 1_l_. 18_s_.
Tatian. His _Oratio ad Græcos_ might be passed over, were it not that,
in this Temperance Society age, it is well to commemorate the sole
surviving production of him who was the first to forbid the use of
wine in the Eucharist.
Terentianus Maurus may be passed by, or taken in some grammatical
collection.
Terence. Zeunius's is the best edition; accurate, but very ugly, in
the original impression. There is a very handsome, but less correct
London reprint, 1820, 2 vols. 8vo. retaining the Notes and Subsidiæ of
Z. It adds a selection from other annotators. 1_l_. 11_s_. 6_d_.
Tertullian, we may, of course, pass over.
Theocritus is given in Gaisford's Poetæ Minores Græci.
Theodorus Prodromus. His _Rhodanthe et Dosicles_ is regarded as one of
the poorest of the Greek romances.
Theodosius _de Sphera_, we will, of course, pass over.
Theognis. His _Sententiæ_, with those of the other Greek Gnomic poets,
should be taken in Brunck's collection—the new edition, Leipsig, 1817,
8vo. 10 frs.
Theophrastus. His _Characters_ alone come within our plan. Of these,
the best edition is that of Ast, Leipsig, 1816, 8vo.
Thucydides. The Bipont edition, 1788-9, 6 vols. 8vo. is most in
request. It is formed upon that of Wass and Dukker, with annotations
by the Bipont Society—75 francs. There are later editions, by Hackius
& Bekker, of which I can ascertain every thing except the critical
merit: the former, London, 1823, 3 vols. 8vo. 1_l_. 11_s_. 6_d_. the
latter, Oxford, 1821, 4 vols. 8vo. 2_l_. 12_s_. 6_d_.
Tiberius Rhetor. See Rhetores Selecti Græci, à Gale.
