Pagina 129 - Theocritus of 1495 (which the reader is requested to consult), the " Opera et Dies" and " Theogonia" of Hesiod were first published. This edition is valuable on account of its excellent Scholia and correct Greek text, which has formed the basis of almost every subsequent edition. It seems uncertain whether the text was taken from MSS. or from the ancient editions : Harles suspects from the latter. Critics have allowed that the Scholia of this edition are superior to what Heinsius has given us ; and...
Pagina v - Castel laboured at this work for seventeen years, during which time he maintained in his own house, at his own cost, seven Englishmen and seven foreigners, as writers, all of whom died before the work was finished.
Pagina lxxiii - It is not without the most sincere regret, that I must now take leave of an accurate and faithful guide, who has composed the history of his own times, without indulging the prejudices and passions, which usually affect the mind of a contemporary.
Pagina 136 - This excellent work I have seen in the curious library of Dr. Mead, and I dare affirm, that whoever examines the whiteness and strength of the paper, the fineness of the character, the elegant disposition of the matter, the exact distance between the lines, the large margin, and in short the whole performance, with its various ornaments, will easily own it a masterpiece in that kind.

I am now, therefore, left alone, without amanuensis or corrector, far advanced in years, with my patrimony exhausted, my bodily and mental strength impaired, and my eye-sight almost gone...
Pagina 175 - The brightness of the paper, the amplitude of the margin, and the elegance of the type displayed in this work, are nearly unrivalled. They do honour to the taste and liberality of the editors. They show that, by encouragement and exertion, the art of printing is in a high and progressive state of improvement, and we are confident that many of our readers will be eager to purchase an edition which has so many recommendations from novelty and magnificence.
Pagina 18 - Greek typography, at thf period of this noble production, it is impossible to contemplate it without feeling a conviction that we have not improved in publications of Grecian authors. The editio princeps of Aristotle is unquestionably one of the most splendid and lasting monuments of the productions of the Aldine press*. It would be tedious, and perhaps unnecessary, to dwell with minuteness on the various materials of which the work is composed : to the curious in classics such an account would be...
Pagina lxiii - JEschylus to a friend in Scotland ; for he once had, and I hope still has, an intention of publishing that tragedian, though it may now be suspended. His corrected text fell into the hands of the Scotch printer, Foulis, and without the Professor's leave, or even knowledge, he published a magnificent edition of jÉschylus from it, without
