Excerpt from The Classical Journal, Vol. 16: For September and December, 1817 One of the' other motives already adverted to, that Plutarch had in writing; which alone would lead us to receive with caution his representations, is, that he was anxious to exalt the fame of his native country by an advantageous comparison of its great men.

Excerpt from The Classical Journal, Vol. 3: For March and June, 1811 It is to be remarked, that the learned author does not seem to establish the correctness of these instances, on the ground of any peculiar idiom of the English tongue. He refers, for their justi fication, to the nature and sense of the phrases. He approves of the use of the subjunctive mood on these occasions, upon principles of universal grammar - upon the supposition of some philosophical propriety. These instances are collected from the vulgar translation of the bible; and it may excite some Surprize to be told, that not one of these examples is expressed in the subjunctive mood in the languages, from which they are translated. A reference to the originals will clearly establish this singular fact. The only author within my knowledge who has noticed this curious inadvertence (for such it certainly is) of the learned Bishop, is Mr. Webster.' In his Dissertations on the English Language, he has fully investigated these examples, by a collation with their originals. Such is the unstable foun dation, on which some of our most eminent grammarians have rested their conclusions on this subject. But so discordant are the notions of the very advocates of the English moods, that few of them agree even on the number of them; and as to the particular mood in'question, the most vague and inconsistent doctrines have prevailed. Some persons have thought it to consist in the adoption of the plural form of the verb, without regard to the persons, whether singular or plural, to whom it relates, when it is preceded by particular con junctions. Others consider it to be a mere second form of the verb, to be used after certain conjunctions, but hesitate to exalt it to the dignity of a nominal mood. Many, who denominate this form of expression an actual mood, limit its existence to one tense; while others extend it to various tenses. Such vagueness and indecision can only be the result of speculation: attempts to define a nonentity naturally terminate in confusion.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Classical Journal, Vol. 9: For March and June, 1814 I have dwelt the longer on this part of the subject, because Poets are by some considered as a suspicious race, as far as morals are concerned; but on this point we may as triumphantly appeal to their characters, as we might in philosophy to those of a Boyle and a Locke.
