Among the various works left by Xenophon, (the beauty of whose style procured for him the flattering title of the Attic Bee,) is one, entitled Oixovouòs, which particularly attracted the attention and commanded the praise of the ancients. It was the Vade Mecum of Scipio Africanus-was freely imitated by Virgil, and was translated by M. T. Cicero. These circumstances will recommend it to the general scholar; and there are others that cannot fail to make it acceptable to the country gentleman, since it presents, at once, the oldest treatise written on economy, and the best, on Grecian agriculture, that has come down to the present times. We propose therefore to give a copy of the Greek text, from the edition of Zeunius, with an English translation and critical notes, so soon as a number of subscribers, sufficient merely for defraying the expense, shall have been found. Subscription papers will accordingly be left at the office of the Literary and Scientific Repository, and at the principal stores. December 1, 1920. **Authors, publishers, and artists, who may have works in the press, American or foreign, will oblige the conductor of THE LITERARY AND SOIENTIFIC REPOSITORY by sending information of their titles, number of pages, size, and such other things as may be thought proper; and notices thereof shall be given to the public. ART. I.-The Faerie Queene. By EDMUNDE SPENSER. Imprinted at London, for Matthew Lownes—folio, 1612–17. It is refreshing, in this age of exaggeration, to turn from the morbid melancholy or impious merriment of Byron, the palling lusciousness of Moore, the sickly affectation of Wordsworth, and the delirious dreams of Coleridge to the simplicity, the solidity, and genuine poetry of Spenser. To the present race of poets and celebrated men, England has an undisputed and exclusive right-but to Shakspeare, Spenser, and the rest of that splendid groupe, whose glory will descend to farthest ages, we assert an equal claim. They were the delight of our forefathers, and we will reverence them-they have adorned the language we speak, and we will look to them as our models. Indeed, Milton and Shakspeare come as readily to our lips as the names of Washington and Franklin; and why should they not? Though we have separated from the country we so long called mother-have adopted another name, and different interests, yet, England is the land of our fathers' sepulchres, and the English language is spoken in its purity, by millions who bow not to English authority. We do not intend to speak of "thoughts which lie too deep for tears," "heaven-drawn impulses," &c. but to say a few words, in plain English, of an old English poet. A poet, who, in his command of language, felicity of expression, and exuberance of faney, has seldom been excelled. The accusations which have been VOL. II. 34 |
