 Reviews. Ill neously before the close of the year. Lastly, an edition appeared about a year later by Mr Babington, who had undertaken and completed it, before he was aware of the labours of the German editors*. We have not time here to discuss the historical bearing of these fragments, but must pass on to another and more import- ant discovery. In the spring of the same year (1847), another Englishman, Joseph Arden Esq., purchased from the Arabs in the neighbour- hood of Thebes another papyrus roll, which had been discovered in one of the tombs. It was found to be much larger and more perfect than that which fell into the hands of Mr Harris, but in all respects agreeing in character. It contains a portion of a speech in defence of Lycophron, and another entire, in defence of Euxenippus. It was now found, from a comparison of the subject-matter, that the three isolated fragments of the Harrisian MS. were portions of the defence of Lycophron. The two papers originally, without doubt, formed parts of the same roll. The authenticity is established by the same unquestionable evidence, as in the former case. Mr Arden, on his return to England, had a facsimile of this MS. executed, which was published in the early part of last year (1853), together with a recension of the text, notes, and prelimi- nary dissertations, by Mr Babington f. This was followed shortly after by the edition of Prof. Schneidewin, the learned editor of Demosthenes respecting the money of and for Euxenippus. Now first printed Harpalus. Published by A. C.
