Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from T. Macci Plavti Avlvlaria: With Notes Critical and Exegetical and an Introduction

In concluding this preface, it gives me great pleasure publicly to acknowledge the manifold obligations which I owe to Dr Ernest Adams, who has not only kindly touched my English style in many a sore part, but to whose hints and suggestions both the Introduction and notes are greatly indebted.

Thus I dismiss my book, though I feel that it stands in need of much indulgence and forbearance - I venture to say that it would be better if I could have written it at a place more favourable to philological studies than Manchester.

Excerpt from T. Macci Plavti Avlvlaria: With Notes Critical and Exegetical and an Introduction

As the present work is intended to supply the wants of more than one class of readers, I think that on its completion a few words will not be superfluous in order to explain its origin and purpose.

In pursuance of my studies on the Aulularia, a first specimen of which I had given in my dissertation de Plauti Aulularia (Bonn, Marcus, 1864), I had as well as I could emended the text and collected much material towards an exegetical commentary. Easter 1865 I visited London to collate the MS. J in the British Museum. On my return to Manchester, I went over the text again, and in this way a critical commentary was at last produced which appeared to give a clearer idea of the textual history of this play than could be had from any former edition. In June, I went again to London, and there it was that Professor Key kindly encouraged me to publish my labours.
