πάνυ ἔγωγε θαῤῥῶ περὶ τῶν γονέων τοῦ τοιούτου Rep. ix. 574 B, certainly means 'I have no great confidence as to the fate of the parents of such a man,' and in Rep. ix. 582 a, où távv ěywye ěxw ciπeîv seems to express a qualified rather than an unqualified ignorance. These examples might be multiplied almost indefinitely, but I have already cited sufficient for my purpose. In the Gorgias the phrase occurs in five places, in all of which I have rendered it by not quite, not exactly, not altogether, or something equivalent. 448 D, 457 E, 472 c, 502 D, 513 c. In none of them is the meaning absolutely certain, but in the second and last of them the general sense is decidedly in favour of the milder form of interpretation. As I have already said, a very large number of the instances of this formula in Plato are of doubtful interpretation, in which the sense will admit of either rendering indifferently; but in most of these doubtful cases, as I have shown that we have the choice, considerations such as I have already referred to, the Socratic irony, the modest and ill-assured tone which the hero and chief speaker of these dialogues is so fond of affecting, will, at all events when the phrase is put into his mouth, usually incline us to reject the decided and peremptory, in favour of the milder and qualified form of denial.

CAREFULLY REPRINTED FROM THE BEST EDITIONS. [This series is intended to supply for the use of Schools and Students cheap and accurate editions of the Classics, which shall be superior in mechanical execution to the small German editions now current in this country, and more convenient in form. As the editors have formed their texts from a careful examination of the best editions extant, it is believed that no texts better for general use can be found. The volumes are well printed at the Cambridge University Press, in a 16mo. size, and are issued at short intervals.] Accedunt variae Now ready, neatly bound in cloth.

With numerous Examples. 5s. "On the whole we are of opinion that Mr. Moore has succeeded in producing a really useful book; and we have no hesitation in recommending it as the best Work on Mensuration we have met with. This volume forms one of a Series of School and College Text Books, on elementary subjects, of which we shall be glad to see more, for judging by the specimen before us, we believe they are likely to prove valuable additions to the very few really good School books which we have on mathematical subjects."-EDUCATIONAL TIMES, Jan. 9.
