Author Description

Excerpt from The Classical Museum, Vol. 1: A Journal of Philology, and of Ancient History and Literature Owing to the first part of the classical museum not appearing until the first of June, Volume I. For 1843, consists of only three parts; but as it is hoped in future to publish one part regularly every quarter, each of the subsequent volumes will consist of four parts. The subjects which the classical museum will embrace are: the Languages, History, Geography, Religion, Literature, Political and Social Institutions, Laws, Arts and Sciences of the ancients; and nothing will be excluded which throws light on any point of antiquity. Papers upon the early history and literature of our own country, and discussions upon Oriental literature, as far as it has any bearing upon or connexion with classical antiquity, will likewise occasionally be inserted in the pages of this Journal. Biblical criticism and all subjects of a religious or theological nature will be excluded. As to the forms in which these subjects are treated in the classical museum, we may classify them as follows.
