Page 122, Warburton's Julian 122, "The magnificent enquiry of Warburton, in page 45. of the preface, deserves to be compared with a sublime passage in Sir Walter Raleigh's remarks on the Roman Empire, page 668. of his History of the World." S. P. Critical and Philosophical Enquiry into the Causes of Prodigies and Miracles "This edition is scarce. The work was republished by Dr. Parr, but omitted in Bishop Hurd's edition of Bishop Warburton's works: and why omitted? for, with all its singularities, it has many marks of the vigorous and original mind of that distinguished Prelate." 123, Werenfelsii Opuscula Theologica, &c. "Dr. Parr sets a very high value on the Treatise de Logomachiis.”” 124, Westhovii Diatribæ in Historiam Passionis "A very useful book." S. P. 126, White (J.) Diatessaron, sive integra Historia J. C. Græce "The gift of the learned Dr. White, who ingenuously reminded me of what I had forgotten, that the dedication was written by me. Every candidate for orders should be well versed in this Diatessaron; and every reader of the New Testament will derive from it the greatest advantage, for it collects the facts of the Gospel into a clear historical form." S. P. 129, (Zimmermanni) de Miraculis Libellus "This book has great acuteness, and obvious are the reasons, for which the writer conceals his name. It should be read with a book, which I have upon the same subject in duodecimo, and which was published in Saxony in the nineteenth century." S. P. 131, Æliani Varia Historia, edidit Kühnius "This small edition' contains the notes of Gesner, Scheffer, Faber, 135, Anthologia Græca, cum Annotationibus Brodæi et Ob- "In the Episcopal Library at Hartlebury, there is a copy of this book, which once belonged to Pope, who seems to have studied the book, and had begun an Index."

P. 139, Aristophanis Comediæ, Gelenii, folio Lips. 1778 Bas. 1547 "William Brook gave this book to Daniel Walters, the learned and faithful assistant of Dr. Parr at Norwich, and Daniel Walters gave it to Dr. Parr. It is a very valuable edition, and there are some manuscript notes." 139, Aristophanis Comediæ, edidit Schutz, tom. 1 & 2 Lipsia, 1821 "In page 271, 2, 3. there are some excellent observations upon the causes, which induced Aristophanes to ridicule Socrates." S. P. 139, Aristophanis Acharnenses Oxford, 1809 "This edition was sent forth by the learned Mr. Elmsley: part of its value arises from Bentley's papers preserved in the British Museum. Elmsley in his preface, speaks of an edition, which had been recently published in Germany, but which he had never seen. I suppose him to mean Hoepfner's edition." S.

Schütz Amst. 1786 Lips. 1804 "In page 14. of the Prolegomena, Schütz defends Plautus censured by Cicero, and the book Ad Herennium at p. 24. He supposes the book Ad Herennium to have been written by Marc. Ant. Gniphò, and Dr. Parr is of the same opinion." 153, Ciceronis Academica, edidit Hulsemann, 8vo. "An excellent edition." S. P. 154, Ciceronis de Fato Liber, Bremii, 8vo. "The notes of Bremius are excellent." S. P. Page 154, Ciceronis de Legibus, Liber primus, Wagneri "Very good indeed." S.

S. P. 203, Polemonis Sophista Orationes, quotquot extant. Tolosa, 1637 "To Dr. Parr's most sagacious and learned friend, Bobus Smith, whose terrors in his first, and indeed, only speech in Parliament, quite overcame his wonderful courage, Dr. Parr used to apply one of Polemo's sayings, recorded in the preface:-'Gladiatores aliquando spectans,quendam æstuantem et horrorem præsentis exitii totius corporis sudore declarantem cum intueretur: talis est, experto credito, dixit miseria Oratoris declamatorii.' The same remark has been twice made by Cicero concerning himself: 'Equidem et in vobis animadvertere soleo, et in me ipso sæpissime experior, ut exalbesam in principiis dicendi, et tota mente atque omnibus artubus contremiscam.' (De Oratore, libr. i. par. 26.) 'Ita deos mihi velim propitios, ut cum illius diei mihi venit in mentem, quo die, citato reo, mihi dicendum sit, non solum commoveor animo, sed etiam toto corpore perhorresco. (Divinat. in Cæcilium.) And again in the Speech for Cluentius: "Hic ego cum ad respondendum surrexi, qua cura dii immortales! qua sollicitudine animi? quo treore? Semper equidem magno commotu incipio dicere. Quotiescunque dico, toties mihi videor in judicium venire, non ingenii solum, sed etiam virtutis atque officii.'" Page 205, Quintiliani Institutiones Oratoriæ, ed. Spalding "The sagacious and learned editor, in his preface, has with great critical acumen distinguished non modo from non solum. He died before the completion of his noble work, and the fourth volume was conducted by Philip Buttman." S. P. 20, Quintus Calaber, edidit Tychsen, cum Observ. Heynii "Very well edited." S. P. 207, Σkóλia, h. e. Carmina Convivialia Græcorum "I highly value this book. I bought it from the Catalogue of Mr. Bohn, published in 1823, where there is an interesting notice on the Table Songs of the Greeks, extracted from Clarke. The Notes are excellent." S. P. - 209, Sophocles, Gr. 4to. H. Stephani, 1568 "This valuable book was given to Dr. Parr by the learned Professor White of Oxford, 1791. It once belonged to Dr. Bentley, and contains one or two verbal alterations, and two pages of an Inchoate Index of words found in the Scholiast, in Bentley's own hand writing." 210, Sophoclis ut volunt, Clytemnestræ Fragmentum, edidit Struve "He proves the writer to have been, not a native Greek, but a Latin Monk of the Western Church." S. P. 216, Thucydides Hudsoni, folio Oxon, 1696 "There is in my library scarcely any book I prize so highly as this. My reasons are, it is the very book in which I first read Thucydides at Emmanuel College; it contains a few marginal notes of mine, which are of no value; I gave it to my learned pupil John Wright; it was sold after his death. I was anxious to recover it, and for many years I made many fruitless enquiries. June 27, 1816. I attended a Visitation of Bishop Parsons at Northampton. I there met Mr. Rose, a clergyman quite unknown to me. After dinner he said he had a book of mine. 'What?' said I. He answered, 'Thucydides by Hudson, and it has some MS. notes of yours.' I told him my piteous tale. He most politely and kindly gave me the book." S. P. Virgilii Codex Antiquissimus, a Rufio Turcio Aproniano distinctus et emendatus, qui nunc Florentiæ in Bibliotheca MediceoLaurentiana adservatur, 4to. (Printed in capitals with exact conformity to the manuscript.) Florentiæ, 1741 "This valuable book was given to Dr. Parr by his intelligent and worthy friend, the Rev. Mr. Hincks, of Tettenall, Staffordshire." |
