(Here Witte reads ed essa, though only one of his four MSS. (A) reads ed, and that is omitted by the reviser of that MS. (A2). Scartazzini, without comment, reads onorata, essa with a comma between the words.) D'acqua e di fronde, ché si chiáma | Ída (Inf. xiv. 98); (This is the ordinary reading of the editions, but Witte, in accordance with all his MSS., reads chiamò1.) O is unelided in Più volte il mondo | ín Caós convérso (Inf. xii. 43). I is unelided in D' infánti é di fémmine é di víri (Inf. iv. 30); O tú, che onóri |é sciénza ed árte (Inf. iv. 73); (Here the editions generally read ogni scienza, but all Witte's MSS. read e.) Tra' quái conobbi | Éttore éd Enéa (Inf. iv. 122); (Here Witte's B reads ed Ettore, which is the reading usually adopted in the editions.) Áhi Genovési, uóminí divérsi (Inf. xxxiii. 151); (Here the hiatus is probably modified by the semiconsonantal of uomini, aided by the comma. We may notice in passing, that sometimes a vowel is similarly unelided before the diphthong eu, which only occurs in proper names, and can in every case be traced to a Greek source; as Ma védi | Eúnoè che là deríva (Purg. xxxiii. 127); Dinánzi ad ésse | Eúphrátes e Tígri (Purg. xxxiii. 112); but before Europa a vowel is elided; see Purg. viii. 123; Par. xii. 48 ; xxvii. 84.) Pontíe Nórmandía prese é Guascógna (Purg. xx. 66). (Here, as the first word stands for Ponthieu in Picardy, there can be no doubt that it should be accented on the last syllable, and pronounced Pont.) E is unelided in O fráte, íssa véggio, dísse, il nódo (Purg. xxiv. 55); (Here the hiatus is somewhat modified by the stop.) Féde ed innocénza són repérte (Par. xxvii. 127); Grávi, a morír gli párve | ésser tárdo (Par. x. 135). (Here some of the editions adopt morire for morir, but Witte, following all his MSS. reads venir for esser.) In conclusion, it is satisfactory to observe, generally, that though questions of metre have rarely been entertained in the correction of the text of the poem, yet, in proportion as the text has been improved by more careful collation of the MSS., an advance has also been made in respect of metrical accuracy. 1 See other variants in the collations supra.

'Students of the Bible should be particularly grateful (to the Cambridge University Press) for having produced, with the able assistance of Dr Scrivener, a complete critical edition of the Authorized Version of the English Bible, an edition such as, to use the words of the Editor, 'would have been executed long ago had this version been nothing more than the greatest and best known of English clas sics. Falling at a time when the formal revision of this version has been undertaken by a distinguished company of scholars and divines, the publication of this edition must be considered most opportune." From the Athenæum. literature of the subject, by such workers as Mr Francis Fry and Canon Westcott, appeal to a wide range of sympathies; and to these may now be added Dr Scrivener, well known for his labours in the cause of the Greek Testament criticism, who has brought out, for the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press, an edition of the English Bible, according to the text of 1611, revised by a comparison with later issues on principles stated by him in his Introduction. Here he enters at length into the history of the chief editions of the version, and of such features as the marginal notes, the use of italic type, and the changes of orthography, as well as into the most interesting question as to the original texts from which our translation is produced." From the London Quarterly Review. "The work is worthy in every respect of the editor's fame, and of the Cambridge University Press. The noble English Version, to which our country and religion owe so much, was probably never presented before in so perfect a form." "Apart from its religious importance, the English Bible has the glory, which but few sister versions indeed can claim, of being the chief classic of the language, of having, in conjunction with Shakspeare, and in an im measurable degree more than he, fixed the language beyond any possibility of important change.

"The value of this reprint is considerable to liturgical students, who will now be able to consult in their own libraries a work absolutely indispensable to a right understanding of the history of the Prayer-Book, but which till now usually necessitated a visit to some public library, since the rarity of the volume made its 18s. cost prohibitory to all but a few....
