REVIEW OF

NEW CLASSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΥ ΠΕΡΣΑΙ. ÆscHYLI PERSE. Ad fidem Mαnuscriptorum emendavit, Notas et Glossarium adjecit CAROLUS JACOBUS BLOMFIELD, A. M. Collegii SS. Trinitatis apud Cantabrigienses nuper Socius. Cantabrigiæ. Typis ac sumptibus Academicis excudit Joannes Smith. MDCCCXIV.

THIS Play, which forms the third in the ordinary arrangement of the tragedies of Eschylus, has been published by Mr. Blomfield within the last few months. The first words of his preface are, Prodeunt tandem Persa, serius quidem quam pollicitus eram; sed quominus promissis starem, obstiterunt caussa, quas lectoris nihil interest ut in hoc loco referam. One of these causes of delay we may suppose to be the edition of Callimachus which Mr. Blomfield has just completed and given to the world.

This play is published upon the same plan as the Prometheus and Septem contra Thebas, with which it is printed uniform: the three plays constitute the first volume of a complete edition of Eschylus. We have reason to believe that it is the intention of the editor to proceed to publish the remainder, with as little delay as possible.

Both the Notes and the Glossary of the Persæ are somewhat fuller than those of the preceding Tragedies. In the first Chorus Mr. Blomfield adopts the arrangement of Dr. Burney, entirely; in the subsequent Chorusses, partially.

In correcting the text, he has availed himself of the same Collations of Manuscripts as in the two former plays, an account of which is prefixed to the Prometheus: and of a MS. in the library of the Archbishop of Canterbury, at Lambeth.

To the Persæ is prefixed a Preface of thirty pages, comprising an account, drawn from various sources, relative to Æscbylus, his predecessors, contemporaries, and rivals in the tragic art; the dates and the circumstances, of the performance of his different

pieces; the constitution of the early Chorus; and, in general, the history of Tragedy in its infant state.

Having announced the publication and its contents, we shall leave the task of criticism to others: it will not be expected of us, that we should deliver our sentiments upon the ability displayed in the execution of the different parts of the work. We believe, indeed, that a pretty decisive opinion has been formed by the literary world upon the merits of this edition of Eschylus. One remark, however, we shall make, without fear of contradiction, or of imputation of partiality: whatever may have been the degree of approbation with which scholars have regarded the two former plays, their opinion of the present publication will be still more favourable.

WE are indebted for a sight of these curious publications to the obliging attention of a Nobleman, whose liberality secures for him the earliest intelligence of every production which is interesting to the literary world. The history of them is briefly as follows:

In the midst of the Ligurian Apennines tands the town of Bobbio, anciently called Bobium, where Columbanus founded a
