‎THEOPHRASTUS‎

‎The Characters. Edited with introduction and commentary by R.G. Ussher.‎

‎MacMillan London 1960. XIII296p. Cloth wrps. With signature from Prof. W.G. Arnott on free endpaper. 'The most valuable part of the edition is the General Introduction. It is divided into five sections: i Origin and Nature of the Work ii The Probable Date of composition iii The Text and the Manuscript Tradition iv The Style of the Characters: their Content and v Before the Characters and After. Mr Ussher's wide reading and critical scholarship here find convenient and impressive deployment and it is difficult to challenge his conclusions. His emphasis on the connexion of Characters as a literary genre with drama and of those that we have with comedy in particular is convincing. It is a pity that he did not take the courage of his convictions and produce a new text with an up-to-date apparatus criticus and a commentary more economically planned.' J.S. MORRISON in The Classical Review New Series 1962 p.48. From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. hardcover‎

‎Theophrastus‎

‎The Characters of Theophrastus With a Strictly Literal Translation of the Greek into Latin and With Notes and Observations on the Text In English: For the Benefit of Hertford College.By the late Richard Newton D.D. and Principal‎

‎Oxford: Printed; and to be had of R. Clements and J. Fletcher…et al. 1754 First edition. Contemporary calf rubbed rebacked with old spine laid down. Octavo. Main text in Greek and Latin on facing pages. Extensive notes and observations in English. Covers rubbed corners worn. Armorial bookplate of William Frere 1775-1836 master of Downing College and later vice-chancellor of Cambridge University. Later pencil notations by a later student one dated 1932. A little light foxing. A good copy. The translator/compiler is Richard Newton 1676-1753 was educated at Christ Church College Oxford becoming a doctor of divinity in 1710. In 1710 he became principal of Hart Hall in Oxford where he tried to implement educational reforms. Running into opposition he oversaw its transformation into Hertford Colege. "Its statutes were the work of Newton and embodied his ideas on education… He would oversee tutors and students with equal strictness. Regular and rigorous academic exercises were to guarantee scholastic standards. Great power reposed in the principal who doubled as bursar. The principal in a manner more appropriate to a hall than to a college selected fellows. Future principals following Newton's own example were to be chosen exclusively from alumni of Westminster and Christ Church. Newton was keen too that an economical regime should attract undergraduates from less affluent backgrounds and compete for members against other colleges within the university. As principal he watched vigilantly over the domestic economy of the house. He calculated that the annual expenses of an undergraduate could be cut to about £31. He also waged an unavailing battle against the distractions that seduced the young from their studies. His frugal regimen at Hertford of 'small-beer and apple dumplings' was easily mocked"Oxford DNB. An able translator he produced this as part of his academic work and it was published posthumously. Printed; and to be had of R. Clements and J. Fletcher…[et al.], unknown‎

‎Theophrastus Budgell Eustace trans.‎

‎The Moral Characters . Translated from the Greek.‎

‎London: printed for Jacob Tonson 1714. First edition.12mo. pp. xxvi 80 iv including portrait frontispiece. With two final advertisement leaves and p.79 misnumbered as p.89. Some woodcut decorations. A few faint ink smudges to frontis and title but otherwise clean. Contemporary brown calf Cambridge panelled boards neatly rebacked with heavily gilt spine and red morocco title label edges lightly sprinkled red corners repaired hinges subtly reinforced. A few slight scrapes some patches of toning to endpapers but a very good copy. Armorial bookplate of John Cator to front paste-down likely John Cator the landowner timber merchant and MP 1728-1806 who commissioned the building of Beckenham Place Mansion in 1773. He was described by Fanny Burney as 'a good-natured busy sort of man' The Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay Vol. 1. To ffep recent bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst. MS inscription of John Lydall of Uxmore in Oxfordshire dated 1768 to title-page verso. Translated by jobbing writer and sometime Member of Parliament for Mullingar Eustace Budgell 1687-1737. In his Preface he writes that he has not in fact 'translated from the Greek' at all but has used Bruyere's French translation as his starting point. He is surprisingly scathing about his own work: 'As for our English translation I shall say no more of it but that it is wholly done from the French and as it always happens in a Translation of a Translation is everywhere flat and spiritless'. He goes on to rather unfairly place the blame for his translations's deficiencies on Bruyere: 'It might perhaps be thought too hard if I should say Monsieur Bruyere was afraid of having Theophrastus outshine himself; yet I shall make no Scruple to affirm that the Method he has used in translating him has very much taken from the Beauty of his Author.' Budgell was a cousin of Joseph Addision and assisted him with The Spectator with some success though he later fell on hard times. Thought vain and vindictive by many of his contemporaries he is now mostly remembered for his death: he threw himself into the Thames leaving a note that read 'What Cato did and Addison approved cannot be wrong.'
