The Prometheus Vinclus of ./E'schylas, with Notes. By the Rev.

J. S. Watson. (Williams and Norgate.)—This is a careful edition, in which Mr. Watson has gathered up with judicious selection the results of the labours of previous commentators, not without occasionally contributing

something of his own. Tho note on alrayr. icpcixOn °yam ;to/ pcoisiti is a good specimen of the exhaustive method in which Mr. Watson deals with difficulties; pbssibly it is a little lengthy, a fault,. however, which we have not often observed in him. Dinderf's text is wisely followed, except in one or two instances; and the result of Mr. Watson's labours is an edition very useful for all ordinary purposes of the school or college.
