Mr. PRIESTLEY'S English edition of Professor ANTIION'S
or, in the more specific words of the title, " Crispii Sallustii Opera, with an English Commentary and Geographical and Historical Indexes"— is a valuable present to scholastic literature. The text is neat, and we doubt not, from the name of the publisher, very accurate. The notes of the editor are ample and useful, and perfectly explanatory of the meaning of the author ; although, as we observed on the Professor's commentary upon lloRacia a more literal rende, big might have been better for tyros than the occasional paraphrastic translations. The most valuable features of this edition, however, are the indexes ; the first of which contains a geographical account of every place whose name appears in the text, and the second a brief biographical notice of every person mentioned by Stitaxer, where any materials existed for its compilation.
