while under the Rev. MATTHEW RAINE, Master of Hartforth School, it shall with your good leave be made public. At Hartforth, be it known, he enjoyed all the classical instruction, by which he was prepared to commence his studies at Cambridge, in the October of 1786.

The verses, indeed, are marked with no date: but as the late Mr. Raine was born 28th November, 1728, it appears pretty clearly that they were composed, at school, as a farewell compliment to his birth-day, in the year 1785.

The errors committed against grammar and prosody are here presented faithfully from the autograph before me. Not many preceptors, even now, would strictly examine and amend those errors; and at that time, I suspect, few pupils of JOHN TWEDDELL's age, unless in the very first of our public schools, or under the tuition of a BURNEY or a PARR, could have been found to write a Greek ἐπίγραμμα with so little incorrectness.

Εἰς τὴν τοῦ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἐντιμοτάτου διδασκάλου γενέθλιον ἡμέραν.

Χαῖρε σύ γ', ἁμέρ', ἐμοὶ καμοῖσι σεβάσμιος αἰεὶ,

(Νῦν κύκλῳ τόδ' ἐμῆς δεῖγμα φιλοφροσύνης,) Γειναμένη τὸν ἐμεῖο διδάσκαλον Εὖ μὲν ἀνέλθοις, Τῷ δ' εὖ ἀνελθοίση τἄφθονα πάντα φέροις.

χάριν τὰ μάλιστ ̓ ὑμνήσομεν; Ἐσσὶ μεγίστη
Αιτία τῶν παντῶν, μοι τὰ μέτεστ', ἀγαθῶν.
Καὶ σὺ, ἀριστόκειος ἀνὴρ, τέκνων ὁ πάνολβος,
(Αν μὲν ἔῃ λαμπρών πατρί τι χάρμα χόρων,)
Ὕστατον, ὦ τριφίλατος, ἐμᾶς πόνον ἴσχεο Μώσας,
Ωφελεν ἡ διδαχαῖς ᾄσματα τῆνα τεαῖς.
Ἴσχεο·——κἂν δὲ θέλῃς ἔμ ̓ ἐνὶ χαρίεισιν ἀριθμεῖν,
Στηρίξω βλωθρὰν ἐν νεφέλης κεφαλάν.

JUST PUBLISHED.

Tac. Ann C. M.

No. II. of the New and enlarged Edition of H. STEPHENS' GREEK THESAURUS is just published. To this Number is added an Index of all the words, which are discussed in this and the previous Num ber, distinguishing by a star such as are not contained in the 'Thes as published by H. Steph. All the arrangements being now com pleted by the very recent arrival of Professor Schæfer's learned and copious MS. materials, which the Editors have purchased, the work will proceed without delay, and the Editors confidently pect that they will be able to announce the publication of the third No. very speedily.

ex

The two first Nos. contain about 2000 words omitted by Stephens. A learned pupil of LENNEP's is now engaged in transcribing the numerous notes of Ruhnken and Valckenaer, written on the margin of a Leyden Scapula. The Editors have carefully perused the parts already published for the purpose of ascertaining the typographical errors, and intend to follow Stephens' example in subscribing to the GENERAL INDEX a complete list of errata. The quantity of the

doubtful vowels will be marked in the INDEX.
