ADDENDA, &c.

P. 49, note on E. 4. 4.

It is right to mention that the Third Sibylline Book, minus a few interpolations, is supposed by modern critics to have been written about 170 B.C., so that Virgil may have actually known it. I do not however find in it any such resemblance to the language of the Fourth Eclogue as to necessitate the supposition that the one must have been the model of the other.

I wish to say that the Introduction to the Georgics had passed through the press before the publication of Mr. Munro's edition of Lucretius. It would be difficult otherwise to excuse the absence there of any allusion to that most important work. In the subsequent Commentary I have fortunately been able to introduce an occasional reference to it, though not so frequently as I might have done had I had the advantage of consulting it earlier.

[On Georg. 4. 132 it should be added that Seneca Ben. 1. 7. 1 quotes this line with the reading animo: "qui dedit parva magnifice, qui regum aequavit opes animo."H. N.]
