3. IDYLLS AND EPIGRAMS: CHIEFLY FROM THE GREEK ANTHOLOGY BY RICHARD GARNETT. (Fcap 8vo.) LONDON, 1869. A later reprint of the "Epigrams " will be found in Dr. Garnett's A Chaplet from the Greek Anthology, (The Cameo Series, Fcap 8vo.), London, 1892. Dr. Garnett contributed the article on the Greek Anthology to the Ninth edition of Encyclopædia Britannica some time after 1873, the date of his last reference; a fact which speaks for itself as to the transient value of such compilations unless revised every few years. 4. Studies from the Greek POETS BY JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS. (2 vols., 8vo.) LONDON, 1893. The first edition appeared in 1873, but the third is the one to possess, having been revised, and augmented by a chapter containing a fairly literal translation of the "Mimes" of Herondas. For the Anthology itself see Vol. II, pp. 282-343. It would be impossible to overrate the debt of gratitude we owe the late Mr. Symonds for this fascinating book. 5. THE GREEK ANTHOLOGY BY LORD NEAVES. (12mo.) EDINBURGH, 1874. (Ancient Classics for English Readers.) Reprinted many times here and in England. The versions drawn upon are from the older writers, Bland, Merrivale, Wilson, Hay, et als. 6. AMARANTH AND ASPHODEL: SONGS FROM THE GREEK ANTHOLOGY BY ALFRED J. Butler, M. A. (Fcap, 8vo.) LONDON, 1881. A little book that is well worth reprinting. The Preface is most admirably written. 7. SAPPHO: MEMOIR, TEXT, Selected RenDERINGS, AND A LITERAL TRANSLATION BY HENRY THORNTON WHARTON. (Fcap, 8vo.) LONDON, 1885. The second edition, 1887; the third and final edition, 1895. (This work is imported and sold by A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago, at $1.75 net.) The Sapphic fragments have been paraphrased by Michael Field in Long Ago, (Thomas B. Mosher, Portland, 1897, at $2.00 net,) and are felicitous lyrical additions to the vast literature of the subject. 8. SELECTIONS FROM THE GREEK ANTHOLOGY. EDITED BY GRAHAM R. TOMSON, (now Mrs. Rosamund Marriott Watson). Sq. 16mo. LONDON, [n. d.] 1889. In this delightful little book, (unfortunately without date on title-page,—a trick that deceives no one, and is unworthy any self-respecting publisher,) twenty-seven selections are from Chrysanthema. It has also a series of original versions by Miss Alma Strettell one of the translators of The Bard of the Dimborvitza, a new edition of which last has just been issued in one volume, (Harper & Bros.). 9. SELECT EPIGRAMS FROM the Greek ANTHOLOGY. EDITED WITH A REVISED TEXT, INTRODUCTION, TRANSLATION AND NOTES BY J. W. MACKAIL. (Octavo.) LONDON, 1890. The introduction to these Select Epigrams we have several times referred to in the pages of The Bibelot. It is not likely to be superseded. Taken with Symonds' chapter on the Anthology, the final exquisite word would seem to have been uttered. 10. FIFTY POEMs of MeleaGER WITH A TRANSLATION BY WALTER HEADLAM. (Quarto.) LONDON, 1890. II. GRASS OF PARNASSUS: FIRST AND LAST RHYMES, BY ANDREW LANG. (12mo.) LONDON AND NEW YORK, 1892. In this edition, (which must not be confounded with the London edition of 1888,) Mr. Lang has brought together, under the title of The Little Garland, all of his translations from the Anthology that lie scattered in his earlier volumes of verse. 12. GREEK POETS IN ENGLISH VERSE BY VARIOUS TRANSLATORS. EDITED, WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES, BY WILLIAM HYDE APPLETON. (12m0.) BOSTON, 1894. 13. GREEK LYRic Poets: Selected anD TRANSLATED BY FRANCIS BROOKS, M. A. (Fcap. 8vo.) LONDON, 1896. 14. ANTHOLOGIA GRACE EROTICA: THE LOVE EPIGRAMS OF BOOK V OF THE PALATINE ANTHOLOGY, EDITED, AND PARTLY RENDERED INTO ENGLISH VERSE BY W. R. PATON. (Fcap, 8vo.) LONDON, 1898. |
