APPENDIX II.

Apart from De Quincey's criticisms on German literature, the following references will show how extended his studies were. De Quincey rarely quotes book and page; often he mentions a book without the author or vice versa. In many cases he gives no clue whatever. It is probable that De Quincey did not always know at first hand the works or authors mentioned, for many of them had been reviewed in English magazines. References marked (?) are doubtful.

HISTORY.

Bobrik, Hermann (1814-1845), Geographie des Herodot. 1838. cf. Works VI, 100.

Böckh, Philipp Aug. (1785-1867), Die Staatshaushaltung der Athener. 2 Bde., 1817. A second edition with a third volume added, 1851. cf. Works I, 180, note; VI, 60; Posth. Works I, 259.

Böttger or Böttiger, Karl Aug. (1760-1835), Sabina, oder Morgenszenen im Putzzimmer einer reichen Römerin. Neue Aufl. 1806. Originally in the Journal für Moden. cf. Works VI, 152, 156, 174. The last reference makes it probable that De Quincey knew this journal.

von Hammer-Purgstall, Joseph (1774-1836), Geschichte der Assassinen, 1818.

Hartmann, Anton Theo. (1774-1838), Die Hebräerin am Putztische und als Braut Theile I-III, 1809-1810.

Quincey gives a digest of the book. cf. Works VI, 152 ff. (Seealso Appendix I). De Quincey mentions (Works III, 293, note) a German work on Hebrew antiquities; perhaps the above is

meant.

Lepsius, Karl Richard (1810-1884). cf. Works VII, 252. Lipsius, Justus (1547-1606). De amphitheatro 1584. cf. Works I, 180, note. Admiranda, sive, de magnitudine Romana.... 1599. cf. p. 110 of this work and remarks of De Quincey's, Works I, 179, note; VI, 226, note; Posth. Works I, 147.

Müller, Karl Otfried (1797-1840). cf. Works VII, 45, 252; XI, 440, note. Geschichten hellenischer Stämme und Städte. Erster Band: Orchomenos und die Minyer. 1820. cf. Works VI, 105; Posth. Works 1, 273. Prolegomena zu einer wissen-schaftlichen Mythologie, 1825. cf. Works I, 372.

Niebuhr, Barthold Georg (1776-1831). cf. Works VI, 256; VII, 45, 252; VIII, 98.

Niebuhr, Karsten (1733-1815). cf. Works VI, 155; it is probable that De Quincey knew Beschreibung von Arabien, 1772, or Reisebeschreibung nach Arabien und andern umlie-genden Ländern, 1774-1778.

Savigny, Fr. Karl von (1779-1861). cf. Works VII, 45. German claims in the field of ancient history. cf. Works VII, 45.

Quotation of a foreign writer's (probably a German's) comment on a remark by Agrippina, occidat dum imperet expressing her ambition for Nero. cf. Works VI, 355. The remark is given by Cassius Dio 61, 13 and by Tacitus in the Annalen IV, 9.

German writers upon Charlemagne, cf. Works, V, 377.

A German writer who considers the Roman office of the praetorian prefect as best represented to modern ideas by the Turkish post of grand vizier. cf. Works VI, 370.

A German writer's comment on Trajan's treatment of the Dacians. cf. Works VI, 384.

A reference to a foreign writer "who calls Diocletian one of the greatest of men if not the greatest". cf. Works VI, 409.

(These four references all occur in the paper on The Caesars, written in 1832. Schlosser's Universal-historische Uebersicht is the only German work of importance before that time which deals with the Caesars. A possible germ for De Quincey's remarks concerning Trajan, quoted, he says, from the German, is found in Schlosser. De Quincey quoted probably from memory; but, in any case, the similarity with Schlosser's remark is so slight that it is probable he refers to some other work. Of the other originals I can find no trace.)

A German author who notices "the coincidence between the augury derived from the flight of the twelve vultures as types of the duration of the Roman empire, i. e. western empire for twelve centuries and the actual event". cf. Works X, 429 and Niebuhr's Römische Geschichte. Herausgegeben von M. Isler, Berlin 1873. 3 Bände, I, 184.

German writers on Charlemagne. cf. Works V, 377.

CLASSICAL SCHOLARSHIP.

Abeken, Bernhard Rudolf (1780-1866). Cicero in seinen Briefen, 1835. cf. Works VI, 186, 190 f.

Adelung, Joh. Chr.. (1732-1806). Mithridates, 1806. cf. Works X, 33, 362. De Quincey refers here to the Mithridates and "other works of the same kind".

Ernesti, Joh. Chr. Gottlieb (1756-1802). De Quincey (X, 254, note) writes: "The vocabulary of aesthetic terms, after all the labors of Ernesti and other German editors, is still far from being understood". This seems to point to Lexicon technologiae Graecorum rhetoricae, 1795, or to Lexicon technologiae Romanorum rhetoricae, 1797.

Heyne, Chr. Gottlob (1729-1812). A poor opinion of Heyne's Vergil, 1767-75. cf. Works V, 140. Other references to Heyne, III, 15; V, 85 f.; VI, 38.

Kuster, Ludolf (1670-1716). cf. Works IV, 181, 185. Lobeck, Chr. Aug. (1781-1860), Aglaophamus, sive de theologiae mysticae Graecorum causis, 1829. cf. Works I, 372; VII, 199.

Reiske, Joh. Jacob (1716-1774), Oratores graeci, 17701775. De Quincey (V, 97) calls him a hasty and careless but copious scholar, and agrees with his stringent criticism of English Latinity. See Reiske's Edition of Demosthenes. Londini 1822-23. I, XLIV.

Ruhnken, David (1723-1798). De Quincey names him (VIII, 92) "the admirable Ruhnken". Other references, Works IV, 181, 327.

Schutz, Chr. Gottfried (1747-1832); De Quincey refers (Page's Life I, 158) to Schutz' edition of Aeschylus, 1782-94, and to "Cicero's Rhetorical Writings", 1804-08.

Vater, Johann Severin (1771-1826). Mithridates oder Allgemeine Sprachkunde etc. Bände 2-4, 1809-17. cf. Works X, 33, 362, note.

Volgraff, J. C. Edition of Pro Caelio. Posth. Works I, 193. Wettstein, Joh. Jacob (1693-1754). cf. Works IV, 188, note. De Quincey refers (IV, 190) to Wettstein's Prolegomena ; probably this is Prolegomena ad N. Ti. graece editionem, 1732.

ON THE HOMERIC QUESTION.

See especially De Quincey's paper on Homer and the Homeridae. Works VI, 7 ff.

Herder. De Quincey says of Herder's opinions on the Homeric Question: "Not so much by learning as by the sagacity of his genius, he threw out some pregnant hints of the disputed points" (VI, 15). cf. Herder's Beiträge zu den Horen, 1795, 1796, in Herder's sämmtlichen Werken, 1877-1899; 32 Bände. Band XVIII, S. 420 ff.

Heyne, Chr. Gottlob. De Quincey (Works IV, 193) refers to Heyne's Edition of Homer. See also V, 85. f; VI, 38. Ilgen, Karl David (1763-1834), Hymni Homerici, 1796. cf. Works VI, 30 f.

Müller, Wilh. (1794-1827), Homerische Vorschule 1824 (?). cf. Works VI, 44 f. This is the only work of Müller's which seems to correspond to De Quincey's reference.

Nitzsch, Gregor Wilh. (1790-1861). The article on the

Odyssee in Die Encyklopädie von Ersch und Gruber, III, 1, S. 384 ff. De Quincey (VI, 16) acknowledges himself indebted to Nitzsch for the material of his paper on Homer and the Homeridae, and speaks of various articles contributed by Nitzsch to the Allgemeine Encyklopädie. The above paper was Nitzsch's only contribution however. cf. D. Fr. Lübker, Greyor Wilhelm Nitzsch in seinem Leben und Wirken. Jena 1864. S. 192. A catalogue of Nitzsch's writings is given there.

Voss, Joh. Heinrich (1751—1826). De Quincey knew at least in part the translations from Homer (Odyssee, 1781. Homer's Werke, Ilias new, Odyssee revised 1793). cf. Works VI, 11. He mentions in the same connection Voss's letters to Wolff expressing his opinion of the Homeric question. cf. Briefe von Johann Heinrich Voss nebst erläuternden Beilagen, herausgegeben von Abraham Voss. Halberstadt 1830. 3 Bände. 2. Band, S. 239. Other references to Voss on the Homeric Question, VI, 68.

Wolf, Fr. Aug. (1759-1824). Prolegomena ad Homerum, 1795. Briefe an Herrn Hofrath Heyne, 1797. cf. Works VI, 10 ff.

273.

Michaelis, Joh. David (1717-1791). cf. Works II, 201. Strauss, David Fr. (1808-1874). De Quincey had the intention to translate Strauss, (probably Das Leben Jesu, 1835), but could not find a publisher. cf. De Quincey and his Friends p. 155. Other references to Strauss: Works I, 12, note; Posth. Works II, 225, note.

German views on the act of Judas Iscariot. cf. Works VIII, 177, 184.
