Comments:

Query: is this technically a miscellany? It gathers translations from different Greek authors but are they all by Edward Burnaby Greene? Contents: Essay on Anacreon pp. xix-xxxiii; Works of Anacreon pp. [1]-125; Essay on Sappho pp. [129]-138; Works of Sappho pp. 139-146; Epigrams of Anacreon and Fragments of Sappho with an essay on epigrams pp. [147]-169; Essay on Bion and Moschus and their works pp. [171]-203; Essay on pastoral poetry pp. 205-223; Ecloga [Latin] pp. 225-230; Essay on Virgil's first eclogue pp.[231]-253; Essay on Horace p. [255]-265; Horatian Odes pp. 267-282; Notes. Attributions: none of the verse in the collection is attributed, though it seems probable that all of the translations are by the editor of the collection, Edward Burnaby Greene.
