Excerpt from The Eclogues and Georgics of Virgil: With English Notes, Critical and Explanatory, and a Metrical Index Wagner's improved edition of Beyne's text is undoubt edly the best that can be named at the present day. The larger work has already been referred to in the preface to the Eneid, and is a splendid monument of German scholarship. An abridgment has recently ap peared from the Leipsic press, containing in a brief compass all the excellent features of the main work; 'and the editor is happy to state that he received a copy of this smaller edition, from his learned friend Dr. Wagner, in sufficient season to avail himself of it for the purpose of rendering the present publication more complete. The editor takes this opportunity also of expressing his acknowledgments to his learned friend, Professor Drisler, for the aid he has rendered in carrying the present work through the press, and in removing all those typographical inaccuracies which often interpose so serious an obstacle to the learner. The Professor's well-known care and acuteness, in this as well as other respects, will, it is conceived, be a full guarantee for the general correctness of the work.
