Excerpt from Review of Riley's Translation the Comedies of Plautus
We must pause for a moment to notice the edition of Weise, Qued linburg and Leipsic, 1838, in two octavo volumes. This is utterly without worth, and undeserving of mention among the editions of Plautus. But Mr. Riley has made it the basis of his second volume, with the exception of the Amphitruo and Rudens. We may con gratulate ourselves that he has done so; for what has passed through the hands of both Weise and Riley is so corrupt that it saves us from all consideration of it.
