Hale, 1782.—Dr. Harwood read: the Agamemnon of Aéschylus, in this Edition, one of the most difficult of his plays, and pronounced it to be uncommonly well edited.

Ro- mz, 1754.-—‘¢ An ingenious friend told me, that this Edition, printed at Rome, possessed uncom- mon erudition; and that the Notes were written with great taste, and critical precision.
