Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Eumenides of Aeschylus
A critical edition is not made to order, nor to meet a trade demand. It appears whenever the author has completed his congenial task, without any hurry, and to his own satisfaction; so far as the last can be said of works that are imperfect in their nature, that only report progress and marka new starting-point, 'adeo brevis in perfecto est mora'.
The publication of this text and notes has been much delayed through various causes. My first emendation of the play was made in May.
