BUTTMAN'S LEXILOGUS;

Or, a Critical Examination of the Meaning and Etymology of various Greek Words, and Passages in Homer, Hesiod, and other Greek Writers. By the late Professor BUTTMAN, of Berlin. Translated and edited, with Notes and copious Indexes, by the Rev. J. R. FISHLAKE, A. M., 1 vol. 8vo. Just ready.

"Buttman's Lexilogus is a most able disquisition on the derivation, formation, and meaning of a number of doubtful words and passages in Homer. It contains, in two small unpretending volumes, a deeper and more critical knowledge of Greek, more extensive research, and more sound judgment, than we ever remember to have seen in any one work before. Though it is primarily a criticism on Homer, yet it is not confined to his poems; for every author, and every passage, and every analogy which the whole range of Greek literature can furnish as illustration or example, is brought to bear on the old epic language with a talent and by a memory surpassed (if surpassed) only in Porson himself." — Quarterly

Review.
