Alexander Ppoudfit. iCC 7 / — — —— JUST PUBLISHED, GEOGRAPHIA CLASSICA: A SKETCH OF ANTIENT GEOGRAPHY, FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO. BY SAMUEL BUTLER, D. D. Author of an Atlas to Antient Geography. Extract of a Letter from Professor Stuart of Andover. " I have used Butler's Atlas Classica for twelve or fourteen years, and prefer it on the score of convenience and correctness to any atlas within the compass of my knowledge. It is evidently a work of mucii care and taste, and most happily adapted to classical readers, and indeed all others who consult the history of past ages. I have long- cherished a strong dtsire to see the work brought forward in this country, and I am exceedingly gra- tified that you have carried through this undertaking. The beautiful manner in which the specimen is executed that you have sent me does great credit to engravers and pub- lishers. It cannot be that our schools and colleges will fail to adopt this work, and bring it into very general circulation. I know of none which in all respects would supply its place." "The abriged but classical and excellent work of Butler, on Antient Geography, which you are printing as an accompaniment to the maps, I consider one of the most at- tractive works of the kind, especially for young persons studying the classics, that has come under my notice. I wish you the most ample success in these highly useful pubU- cations." INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE GREEK CLASSIC POETS, FOK THE USE OF YOUNG PERSONS AT SCHOOL OR COLLEGE. BY HENRY NELSON COLERIDGE. Contents.—General Introduction ; Homeric Questions ; Life of Homer ; Iliad ; Odyssey ; Margites ; Batraeliomyomachia ; Hyimis ; Hesiod. "We have been highly pleased with this little volume. This work supplies a want which we. have often painfully felt, and affords a manual which we should gladly see placed in the hands of every embryo vmder-graduate. We look forward to the next por- tion of this work with very eager and impatient expectation." British Critic. "Mr. Coleridge's work not only deserves the praise of clear, eloquent, and scholar- like exposition of the preliminary matter, which is necessary in order to understand and enter into the character of the great poet of antiquity ; but it has likewise the more rare merit of being admirably adapted for its acknowledged purpose. It is written in that fresh and ardent spirit, which to the congenial mind of youth, will convey instruction in the most effective manner, by awakening the desire of it; and by enlisting the lively and buoyant feelings in the cause of useful and improving study; while by its pregnant bre- vity, it is more likely to stimulate than to supersede more profound and extensive re- search. If •then, as it is avowedly intended for the use of the younger readers of Homer, and, as it is impossible not to discover, with a more particular view to the great school to which the author owes his education, we shall be much mistaken if it does not become as popular as it will be useful in that celebrated establishment." Quarterly Beview. " We sincerely hope that Mr. Coleridge will favour us witli a continuation of this work, which he promises." Gent. Magazine. "The author of this elegant volume has collected a vast mass of valuable information. To the higher classes of the public schools, and young- men of universities, this volume will be especially valuable; as it will afford an agreeable relief of light reading to more grave studies, at once instructive and entertaining."

It is to be observed in this Index, which is made for the sake of complete and easy refer- ence to the Maps, that the Latitude and Longitude of Rivers, and names of Countries, are given from the points where their names happen to be written in the Map, and not from any remarkable point, such as their source or embouchure. The same River, Mountain, or City, &c., occurs in different Maps, but is only mentioned once in the Index, except very large Rivers, the names of which are sometimes repeated in the Maps of the different countries to which they belong. Owing to the weak state of the Author's eyes, some trifling inaccuracies escaped him when examining the Maps, even with double magnifiers ; such as Nogara for Nagara, Motilo for Matilo, Melilaea for Melitaea, dsc. The student is requested to excuse these, which can heurdly in any instance occasion him a moment's difficulty, and in all cases may be corrected by the Index subjoined, which, where it differs from the maps, will be found the more accu- rate of the two. The quantity of the places mentioned has been ascertained, as far as was in the Author's power, with great labor, by reference to the actual authorities, either Greek prose writers, (who often, by the help of a long vowel, a diphthong, or even an accent, afford a clue to this,) or to the Greek and Latin poets, without at all trusting to the attempts at marking the quantity in more recent works, experience having shown that they are extremely erroneous. The Author does not flatter himself that he has altogether succeeded in this extremely difficult point, though he has taken great pains with it. In some instances, where there are no means of ascertaining the quantity by poetic usage, custom, derivation, or any authentic source, and in cases where the syllable is known to be common, or is obviously long, the quantity is not marked. It is certain that the Antients in very many cases had no settled rules for the quantity of proper names. Even in the very best writers we have singular anomalies in the most com- mon, such as Apulia, and Apulia, and Appiilus, in Horace ; Sicanius and Sicanius, Siculus and Sicelides, Sidonius and Sidonius, Italus and Italus, in Virgil ; to say notliing of innu- merable instances in other writers. So that they seem in many cases to have reserved to themselves the power of making those vowels which are generally called doubtful, either long or short in the same word, as suited their purpose. Hence we have Batavi and Batavi, Britanni and Britones, &;c. &c. These observations might be extended to a much greater length, but it is hoped enough has been said to show the difficulties of the subject, and obtain the indulgence of scholars. ;> //,,/„,/'. — 'frrmtrm i T.lifiife/iiCriiiiiff -^—"o,. ./,///„.
