3. Sir W. GELL's Itinerary of Greece, and his work on the Antiquities of Pompeii, with views of the ruins and various monuments discovered there during the late researches.

Homeri Opera Omnia, ad fidem Codicum Bibliothecæ Regiæ Recensita, cum Nova Interpretatione Latina,› quibus accedunt variæ lectiones, et Lexicon Absolutissimum Verborum Omnium, in quo Voces, Dialecti, Mythi, Etymologia et Anomalia: exponuntur ac dilucidantur.

Dr. BADHAM is preparing for publication an Itinerary from Rome to Athens, by the route of Brundusium, the Ionian Islands, and Albania. This work will contain an accurate account of the dis tances, modes of travelling, expenses, preparations, and precautions; with other miscellaneous particulars, which may interest the traveller, It will include classical recollections of the various sites, which occur in the journey as well in Greece as in Italy; and in the latter country, a particular account of Horace's Iter..

Mr. E. H. BARKER, of Trin. Col. Cambridge, intends in the course of a few months to publish at Leipsic Arcadius Grammaticus, of whose Works two MSS., which will be collated by an experienced hand, are preserved in the King's Library at Paris.

Voss, the celebrated translator of Homer and Hesiod, Virgil, Horace, and Ovid, &c. &c. whose metrical versious, all in the metre of the original writers, form the most remarkable triumph of the German over the other European modern languages, has completed a translation of the Comedies of Aristophanes. These are to be published in the course of the next winter in three octavo voJunies, and the translation is to be accompanied with explanatory notes, by the translator's Son, Professor Voss of Heidelberg, who has also honorably pursued the career of his father, and is known as the translator of Æschyhis, and of› Othello and other tragedies of Shakspeare. The complete success, which has attended all the other translations of the elder Voss, justifies expectations which no other man could raise concerning a writer, who presents such pe culiar difficulties as Aristophanes, and who is at the same time so interesting to the learned investigator of the history, religion, manners and taste of the Greeks. The younger Voss has made it one of the objects of his notes to render his work useful even to

foreigners by verbal criticisms on disputed passages and difficult expressions.

No. II. of the new Edition of Stephens' Greek Thesaurus will soon appear, after which arrangements have been made to publish five or six Numbers annually. The Editors are happy to inform their Subscribers, that their new Edition will be enriched by the large and important collection of Professor SCHAEFER'S Lexicographical materials. It is well known that he had long projected a new Edition of a compendious Greek Lexicon, and had for many years directed his reading to that pursuit. The negociation for these papers has been the only cause for delaying the appearance of the Second Number.

BIBLICAL.

A new edition of Mr. HARMER'S Observations on various passages of Scripture, with many important additions and corrections, by ADAM CLARKE, LL. D. F. S. A. in 4 vols. 8vo.

ORIENTAL.

The printing of Sir W. OUSELEY's "Travels in Persia, Armenia, Turkey, Asia Minor," &c. has been lately interrupted by an excursion to Paris, where, however, during a residence of nearly two months, he gleaned among the manuscript treasures of that noble library, the Bibliothèque du Roi, an ample stock of materials for the illustration of many curious antiquarian and geographical subjects, discussed in the course of his "Travels;" and others of which he will avail himself in a future work on the "History of Alexander;" wherein he will compare the Eastern Traditions respecting that conqueror, (whose marches he has traced in person through a considerable part of Asia,) with the accounts given by Greek and Latin writers. Sir W. proposes, meanwhile, to offer (in an octavo volume,) some remarks on the Cyropaideia of Xenophon, and on the Parthics and Mithridatics of Appian. These, and the Essay on Alexander, were nearly prepared for the press in 1810, when Sir GORE OUSELEY'S Embassy to Persia, which Sir W. accompanied, necessarily suspended the publication, but afforded him, at the same time, an opportunity of considerably improving and augmenting his intended works.

We learn from a correspondent in Paris, that a new edition of M. le Baron de SAINTE-CROIX's admirable work, the "Recherches sur les Mystères du Paganisme," may be shortly expected. The learned author, by his last will, charged M. SILVESTRE de SACY with the superintendance of this posthumous edition; and he is now engaged in fulfilling the wishes of his departed friend.

This new edition of Herodotus printed under the immediate inspection of Mr. Schweighæuser for Messrs. Treuttel and Wurtz of Paris and Strasburg, impatiently expected by the learned of all nations, will be sufficiently recommended by the name of the celebrated Editor, whose penetration, erudition and peculiar talent for classical criticism have been so eminently demonstrated in his editions of Appian, Polybius, Athenæus, &c.

From this relation we will extract only the summaries of the Memoirs, viz.

1. Osservazioni filologice sopra le descrizioni di statue dettate da Callistrato: By the Abb. Morelli. The learned Morelli collated the Olearian text of Callistratus with an excellent Codex in the Marcian Library, which confirms the most part of Heyne's, Jacobs' and Boissonade's emendations, and will afford very important materials of criticism to a future Editor.

ORIENTAL.

The Chevalier LANGLES, Keeper of the Oriental Manuscripts in the Bibliothèque du Roi at Paris, has already printed some numbers of his splendid work on the "Ancient Monuments of India." He is also preparing to publish the original Arabic text of that manuscript, from which Renaudot translated the "Travels of two Mahommedans ;" and the authenticity of which was once disputed, but is now most satisfactorily ascertained. Few men have done so much, and with such success, in the promotion of Oriental literature, as Mons. Langlés; and on the subject of the various works which he has already given to the world, and of those on which he is now employed, we shall offer some remarks in a future Number of our Journal.
