A GREEK - ENGLISH LEXICON COMPTLF,D BY HENRY GEORGE LIDDELL
AND ROBERT SCOTT : A New Edition revised and augmented throughout by Henry Stuart Jones, with the assistance of Roderick McKenzie. Part III.. (Clarendon Press. 10s. 6d.)--The new " Liddell
and Scott," long awaited and now under way, is fulfilling all expectations. It will probably fill ten parts, each of about' 200 pages. Comparing the third part with the corresponding' portion of an old edition, we find that Dr. Stuart Jones fills 192 pages -with that section of the alphabet to which Liddell and Scott gave 147 considerably smaller pages. Moreover, almost every entry is enlarged, often doubled or trebled. The present editor can, of course, draw upon innumerable inscrip- tions and thousands of papyri which were unknown even a generation ago, and the existence of which was unsuspected when Liddell and Scott produced their first edition in 1843. The new Lexicon, which is beautifully printed, shows that, despite the laments over the decline of Greek teaching in schools, Greek scholarship in England is as sound as ever.
