Many of Dollinger's conclusions may appear to us unsound ; but his whole view carries with it a naturalness wanting in every other with which we are acquainted. We must wait to see whether any thing can be added to the old arguments of Ruggieri reproduced by Dr Words- worth ; otherwise the Bishop of Portus must, it would seem, be deprived of his title and translated to the see of Rome. Dollinger, it may be added, appears to bo well acquainted with English literature, and he points out several errors into which Dr Wordsworth has fallen. The most important is one which ho shares with M. Bunsen ; for both of them cite Peter, Bp of Alexandria during the first ten or twelve years of the 4th cent., as stating (Chron. Pasch. p. 12. ed. Bonn): "And since there is full and demonstrative evidence of this in the holy teachers of the church, we will cite (irapolaofiev, yet the Bonn editor retains the version omittimus) here a few of their statements. . . . Hippolytus then, the witness of godliness, Bishop of Portus, near Rome," &c. The quota- tion from Peter begins at p. 4 of the Chron. Pasch., and cannot bo continued beyond p. 9, where Athanasius is called " the great light of the church of the Alexandrians." This he cannot have been in the year 309. The passage cited from p. 12 contains the words of the author of the Chronicon. Dollinger, does not, however, appear to do justice to the critical ability with which Dr Wordsworth has in many places corrected the text of the fragment which he has published.] B. F. W.

[Dindorf has used several MSS., both of Harpocration and of the Epitome, which Bekker had neglected, or only partially collated. Among them are three English MSS., one in the British Museum, one in the Cambridge Univ. Library, and one in the Library of Trin. Coll. Cambridge. The 2nd volume contains Maussac's Dissertation, II. Stephanus's Preface to his Diatribe in Isocratem, and Commentaries. Most of the notes of Gronovius, and some of Maussac's havo been omitted ; those of Ilemster- huis (published by Geel in the Anecdota Hemst. Leyden. 1826), have boon given entire, as have, with few exceptions, those of Valesius and of' Stephanus (on the glosses to Isocrates). Dindorf's own notes are in the first volume. He has used the labours of Pearson (Advers. Ilesych.), Toup, Dobree, Schleusner, Bemhardy and Sauppo ; but he has himself done comparatively little to illustrate his author. For instance, he has not referred the fragments of the Comic poets, the Historians, and the Orators, to their places in the collections of Meineke, Miiller, and Sauppe; he has not noticed that NiKnvoop and imaTarq^ which words Harpocration cites from Hyporides's Oration against Demosthenes, occur in the recently discovered fragments. On the name Nitcavup Valesius quotes an obscure
