THE writer desires to express his acknowledgments to Mr Robert Browning, for his kind permission to make use of his 'Balaustion' in the account given of “Alcestis;" to Mrs Augusta Webster, for a similar favour in the case of the "Medea ;" and to Mr Maurice Purcell Fitzgerald, in that of the "Hippolytus."

Where the translated passages are not attributed to an author, they are taken from Potter, in the absence of better renderings. He wishes also to commemorate his obligations to Mr F. A. Paley for the frequent and valuable assistance afforded by his Prefaces and Notes to the Plays of 79€330 |
