338 1844.—"The Iliad of Homer. [Book I.] Faithfully rendered in Homeric verse from the original Greek. By Philhellen Etonensis. [i. e. L. Shadwell] London, 1844. 8o."

1845.—The Iliad of Homer. Faithfully rendered in Homeric verse from the original Greek. By Lancelot Shadwell. Books i-ix.371 London, 1844 (-45). 8o."

Book i. is the same as the preceding work of 1844. The books have separate paper covers. Books i., ii., iii., are dated 1844; books iv. and v., 1845; books vi., vii., viii., lack cover and date, and book ix. has a cover but no date.

"54. Homer's Iliad. 3 vols. 1846." (Foster, p.69).

I do not know what work this is.

"56. Iliad, translated by T. S. Brandreth. 1849."

The Brit. Mus. copy consists of two volumes bound together, with separate titlepages, both dated 1846, not 1849.

"57. Homeric Ballads [from the Odyssey]; with Translation and notes by the late W. Maginn 1850. 8o" (Foster, p.69).

Maginn wrote ballads taken from the Iliad as well as the Odyssey. A collected edition appeared in 1856, edited by Shelton Mackenzie. 1850.—"The First Iliad of Homer. [Translated into English verse by W. G. T. Barter.] In Poems, original and translated, etc., 1850, 8o."

1850.—"The Iliad of Homer, the First, Second, and Third Cantos: translated in a metrical version most comformable, though not identical in construction, with the original Greek Hexameter  London, 1850. 6.o"

"60. The Iliad of Homer, literally rendered in Spenserian stanzas by W. G. T. Barter, 1857." (Foster, p.69).

The titlepage is dated 1854; the preface, 1853.

1856,—"The Iliad of Homer: First Three Books Literally translated  by a Graduate of the University [of Dublin]. New edition.  Dublin 1856. 12o"

These three books, except for some minor changes of revision, are the same as the first three of the 1840-33 set listed above.

1858.—"The Odyssey of Homer: Books i.-ii; construed literally and word for word by the Rev. Dr. Giles 1858."

1860.—"Homer for the English, Iliad, Book v. The Prowess of Diomed. (Book vi. The Parting of Hector and Andromache) [with an English verse translation] London, Eton [printed]; 1860. 8o."

Book v. occupies pp.79-108; book vi., pp.109-125. A pencilled note, dated June 13, 1860, on the flyleaf of the Brit. Mus. copy says: "Messrs. Whittaker & Co. state that this is the only part published, although it begins at p. 79."

1860.—"The Iliad. [A translation, in verse, of Books i.-xii., with a portion of Book xiii.) [1860?] 8o."
