Ajax, and with Hector, as it is at large describ'd in Homer, nothing belongs to this Ajax of Sophocles. Hector. Homer. Martial. lib. II. epigr. 91. You admire no Poems, but such as run like a Et, quæ per sale bras, altaque saxa cadunt. FINIS. Note THE ORIGINAL manuscript of Drummond's Notes has never been discovered. A copy, however, was made by Sir Robert Sibbald some time late in the seventeenth century and is now in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, bound with other papers in a volume marked Adversaria (Advocates MS. 33.3.19). This copy was unearthed by the late David Laing and edited by him for the Shakespeare Society in 1842. A new and independent transcript of Sibbald's manuscript has been made for our reprint by Miss B. B. Hutchen, which is here printed without any emendation. I should like to express my warm thanks to Mr. W. K. Dickson, Librarian of the Advocates' Library, for his help in the preparation of the Transcript. G. B. H. |
