By far the best exposition of the 1st Book of Virgil's Georgics we have seen. The extent and minuteness of the erudition lavished in the Commentary and Notes go far to exhaust the requirements of the subject, enhancing the beauties, an i explaining the difficulties, of the text.-Free Church Magazine.

This is a work of immense interest to the scholar, the critic,the antiquarian, and, not least, to the farmer. Nothing is omitted that can edify, interest, or adorn.-Perthshire Advertiser.

To the man of letters this is an invaluable volume. There is a high-toned criticism in it to be met with among few commentators. In the notes, the grammarian will find subjects discussed with more than a professor's acuteness.-Perthshire Courier.

A work evincing high and extensive scholarship. To the elucidation of the Latin text and of the poet's allusions, the author brings an almost encyclopediac store of information, and appears equally at home in ancient and in modern Italy-equally conversant with the poets of Rome and of England, with the details of agriculture as it was and is, with Varro and with Simonde. To the Commentaries, the author has appended no less valuable notes, showing the carefulness and extent of his own reading. We cordially recommend the work to every reader of learning and taste.-Stirling Observer.

These comments are well written English desertations on the various subjects of which Virgil treats, so that their value is not confined to the mere scholar, they are also interesting for their matter, and profitable to those engaged in farming.-Whitehaven Paper.

We shall look forward with pleasure to the publication of his Commentaries on the remaining three books; and feel assured that their perusal, illustrated in such a full, clear, and elegant manner, will render this a favourite book with every scholar, and induce thoughtful and intelligent men to study more carefully the literature and history of this powerful nation, which has now indelibly stamped its memorial on all the languages of Western Europe.-Glasgow Citizen.
