Excerpt from The 'Eumenides' of Aeschylus: With an Introduction, Commentary, and Translation
Much is due to periodical publications, especially to papers by Dr W. Headlam. Obligations, so far as I am aware of them, are acknowledged in their place; but I am conscious of debts not traceable.
Many Of my own scattered publications I have adapted or modified without notice. In particular, I have not remarked on the frequent disagreement between this book and the 'acting edition' Of the play, which I made when it was performed at Cambridge in 1885. The requirements Of that occasion will account for any divergence.
More perhaps than to any book, or as much, I am indebted to conversations, especially with colleagues in Trinity College or in Cambridge. I am certain, for instance, that to the late Mr R. A. Neil of Pembroke College I owe many hints and corrections, though not one can I definitely refer to him. Sir Richard Jebb also must have left traces Of this kind upon my work, and others, both lost and living, whom I cannot distinguish.
