other, and form a perfect whole. On a comparison of what has been published of the Munich and Paris MSS., it would seem, however, that neither the subjects treated, nor the manner of treating them, are in these two precisely the same: they are rather to be considered as different editions of the same work. Very naturally the learned editor considers that of Munich as the most perfect and valuable, still admitting that it has several chasms, the extent of which can only be known on a comparison with other MSS.

Another probably valuable MS. in the Munich collection, is an Arabic-Persian Dictionary; in which the verbs in the former language, and apparently the verbs and verbals alone are explained into Persian. It is entitled, Kitabun ul mesadirin :--liber principiorum ;—and is arranged in nine classes, according to the six leading Arabic conjugations, and three of irregulars.

Of these two works, in particular, and of others, the learned editor has given a circumstantial and interesting account. An Appendix of 52 pages contains extracts, being portions never hitherto published, with notes by the professor, and also the titles of twelve Persian MSS. preserved in the Munich library in the original character.

The Persian and Arabic MSS, may have found their way to Munich from the communication with the neighbouring Turkish provinces. One MS., indeed, we are expressly told, had belonged to a Bashaw in Croatia; but it is curious to find the remains of Chinese and Hindoo learning in the collection of a Mediterranean sovereign, accumulated to so considerable a mass. We shall certainly receive with satisfaction and gratitude the succeeding accounts of the treasures which the library contains in this department, and which Professor Frank's other engagements may, we trust, allow him time to furnish.

ODE LATINA.

Statue, Tabulæque picta Italia restituta.

ERGO insolentes sancta Deûm cohors
Rupit catenas, et patriam domum
Sedesque cognatas revisit,
Italiæ loca fabulosæ !

Lucentium quà murmura fontium,
Quà prisca sacrat Religio sinus
Lucorum, et assueto serenus

Ludit adhuc Zephyrus susurro,

Et vox Deorum lenè sonantibus
Respondet auris; quà temere incolæ,
Silvæ sub impendentis umbrâ,
Naiades incubuere ripis.

At dulcè quanquam per lapidum moras
Decurrit undis lympha loquacibus,
Nodosque fragrantis capilli

Flore premens tenero rósarum

Ridet Voluptas, libera dum novo
Expandit alas rore graves apis,
Frustraque secretos colentem
Prodit odor violam recessus,.
