“This is a very delightful work, and contains much more than its title implies. The style is quaint and original, and reminds us of that of some of our older writers. It is throughout enriched with a number of curious and interesting quotations and illustrations, which display considerable information and research. It is full of the 'spirit of antiquity,' if we may use such an expression, and is deeply imbued with a love for those admirable and venerable institutions, which we owe to the wisdom of past ages. The defence of the practice of chanting, of the whole Cathedral Service, and, indeed, of Cathedral institutions altogether, is excellent, and will repay an attentive perusal.”—CHURCHMAN. “This clever work is indeed still of the Spirit of Antiquity, and evinces great originality and freshness of thought, brilliancy of imagination, profound argument, strong feeling, and a thorough and hearted love of the cause so eloquently advocated.”—SALISBURY HERALD. ------- In foolscap 8vo. price 8_s._ in cloth, lettered, THE DEATH OF DEMOSTHENES. =And other Original Poems:= WITH THE PROMETHEUS AND AGAMEMNON OF ÆSCHYLUS, TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK, BY GEORGE CROKER FOX, ESQ. “We hail the publication of this work as a valuable addition to our literature. With an elegant and graceful dedication to our young and interesting Queen, the volume consists of original Poems, distinguished for beauty of thought, expressed in language classic and polished; and of translations rarely equalled for fidelity and vigour. The Death of Demosthenes is indeed a noble subject, nobly executed.”... “We have now done our most arduous but pleasing task, to review the finest poems which have appeared for many years. In this utilitarian age of steam and vapour, when, whilst we are going on with our rail-roads, we are going back in our learning, it is rare to find a mind which can think with and emulate the ancients—give a new charm to classic literature—call forth the mighty spirits of Greece—bring them, with all their eloquence and genius, before us—create with them—copy after them. Mr. Fox, therefore, deserves our commendation, and merits our gratitude for his classical volume of poems; for nothing perfect in eloquence, nothing perfect in poetry, can be produced, unless we love, study, and imitate the great masters of thought and taste—the ancients— “—— —————————color che sanno.”—_Dante._ The classical is another name for the beautiful, and Mr. Fox’s volume must charm all, except the ignorant without learning, and the learned without taste.”—DUBLIN REVIEW. ------- In one volume, 8vo. price 16_s._ in cloth, lettered,
