London, March, 1819.

Under the Patronage of, and Dedicated to,
His Royal Highness THE PRINCE REGENT.

PROSPECTUS, &c.
OF A NEW AND CORRECTED EDITION OF THE
DELPHIN CLASSICS;
WITH THE
VARIORUM NOTES.
INTITLED THE REGENT'S EDITION.
TO BE PRINTED AND EDITED BY A. J. VALPY, M. A.
LATE FELLOW OF PEMBROKE COLLEGE, OXFORD.

N. B. The Price is now raised, to new Subscribers, 19s. each Part. On the 1st of April it will be raised to 20s., and on the 1st of June, to 21s.; Large Paper double. Eight Months will be allowed, from the 6th of February, to persons now abroad, and Fifteen Months for India. Subscribers always remain at the Price they originally enter. Any Original Subscribers may exchange their Small for Large Paper, on or before the 1st of April at the first Price.

The high reputation in the Learned World of the DELPHIN CLASSICS, and the prevailing scarcity of most of them, leave little doubt that their Publication will be received with patronage and approbation.

The avidity with which the DELPHIN CLASSICS are sought, and the impracticability of procuring complete Sets, as well as the knowledge that they contain many literal errors, (the Claudian alone, one vol. quarto, having five closely-printed pages of errata inserted at the end) and that the critical labors of the last century, and the collation of many important MSS. have considerably improved the text, encourage the Printer in the expectation that a new and corrected Edition will be regarded in the most favorable manner; especially as it is conceived that no library can be considered as complete without a regular Collection of the Classics.

The best Text will be used, and not the Delphin.—The Delphin Notes, the Ordo, and the Various Readings, will be placed under the Text: besides which, the Notes in the best VARIORUM Edition will be printed at the end of each Author.

The best Indices will be adopted, and carefully collated with the Text, to remove the present numerous faults in the references. The reference will be to the Book and Chapter, and not to the page, by which means the same Index will apply to all other Editions. The Literaria Notitia from the Bipont Editions, continued to the present time, will be added to each Author.—Thus will be incorporated, as it were, the DELPHIN, the BIPONT, and the VARIORUM EDITIONS.

A finely engraved head will be given of such authors as can be pro-

Each No. on the average, will contain ten or twelve Pamphlets: thus
reducing the price of each to about sixpence. Four Numbers pub-

rishable Record of the most valuable pamphlets, and will also offer,
through the means of Clubs and Institutions, a very extensive circu-
lation. It is also intended to record such Pamphlets as will be use-
ful, not only at the present time, but at future periods.

Old Pamphlets will be inserted, if very valuable and scarce; as well
as Translations of French and German Pamphlets.

contra las sombras? ¡Quanto menos malo hubiera sido, Señor, que ya que vuestros ministros prescindiesen de la justicia, no hubiesen prescindido de descubrir su nulidad, y que se hubiesen abstenido de haceros dexar á la historia un Documento, que ofrece mas armas contra vuestras medidas, que quantas pudiera por ningun otro medio proporcionarse el Partido perseguido!

9.—Se os hace, Señor, decir: "Hasta estos dias en los "Papeles públicos con impudencia se derramaron especies "tan groseras é infames acerca de mi venida y mi caracter, "que aun con respecto de cualquier otro serian muy "graves ofensas, dignas de severa demostracion y castigo." Esta asercion es de igual naturaleza que todas las contenidas en vuestro Decreto. A pesar de la facilidad de presentar las pruebas, si existiesen, esto bien seguro, que vuestros consejeros por esta vez no serán inconsecuentes en la excepcion de ofrecerlas.—Por desgracia el prestigio, fomentado en vuestro favor por el Partido vencido con un noble objeto, á vuestra venida fue convertido por el Partido vencedor á un objeto el mas criminal. Sin esto los enemigos de la libertad saben bien que no hubieran conseguido tan facilmente su triunfo. Es verdad que los hombres amantes de su Patria, aunque ignoraban todo lo ocurrido en Valencey, á los primeros rumores de que intentábaseis venir, principiaron á recelar del objeto de vuestra venida; mas ninguno se expresó en términos, que en lo mas mínimo pudiesen ser-ros ofensivos. Verificada esta repentinamente, y del modo menos honorífico, no teniendo parte en ella otro que el enemigo mas mortal de la Nacion,—quedando esta privada de tal gloria, quando tanto se aproximaba el momento de arrancaros de las garras de aquel,—el recelo no pudo menos de aumentarse, sin que por eso pasasen mas adelante, ni en sus precauciones, ni en sus escritos. Temian á Napoleon, aun ofreciendo dones, fue todo lo mas que han osado decir algunos. Después de una guerra encarnizada de seis años, sostenida principalmente por la opinion, su nombre les era demasiado ominoso para que ciegamente aceptasen de su mano ninguna dádiva voluntaria, que no les pareciese insidiosa. A esto se añade que las sospechas no pudieron menos de acrecentarse al ver que ningun indicio de agradecimiento manifestábaseis por tantos heroicos sacrificios, que la Nacion acababa de hacer por vuestro rescate: aun

Tooke's Court, Chancery Lane.

A new Edition of THE ENTHUSIASM OF METHODISTS AND PA-
CISTS considered; By BISHOP LAVINGTON, one vol. 8vo. With Notes, and
an Introduction, by the Rev. R. POLWHELE. Price 10s. 6d. boards.
This is a reprint from the scarce edition, now selling for a very high price. The author's
principal design is to draw a comparison, by way of caution to all Protestants, between the wild
and pernicious enthusiasms of some of the most eminent saints in the Popish communion, and those
of the Methodists in our country; which latter he calls a set of pretended reformers, animated by
the enthusiastic and fanatical spirit.

IV.—Poetry.

ODIN, a Poem; Part the First. By the Right Hon. Sir W. DRUM-
MOND. Author of a Translation of Persius, Academical Questions, &c.
Pr. 18s. royal 4to. in boards.
This Poem is connected with the most interesting era of the Northern Mythology, and refers
principally to the origin of the Gothic Empire, which the author, availing himself of the privilege
of the Poet, and offering besides some probable conjectures, supposes to have been founded by
heroes.

THE MODERN ANTIQUE; or, the MUSE IN THE COSTUME OF QUEEN
ANNE. By J. GOMPETZ, Esq. 8vo. 12s. boards.

TIME; or, LIGHT AND SHADE. A Poem, in Six Parts. By the Same.
Simp. 2s. elegantly printed in 4to.
The present poem is distinguished by the same marks which characterised the former—a seri-
ous and well-disciplined mind, extensive reading, and considerable taste. It exhibits a compre-
hensive view of life, and of the follies, vices, and prejudices of mankind; so that it may be con-
sidered and denominated a truly didactic composition. The Poem contains many striking and
energetic apostrophes, and a sufficient number of really musical lines."—Gent. Mag.

The Classical Journal;
No. XXXVI. [Continued Quarterly,] Containing a Variety of
CLASSICAL, BIBLICAL, AND ORIENTAL
LITERATURE.

SECCION PRIMERA—POLITICA.

(ARTÍCULO COMUNICADO.)
Señores Editores del Español Constitucional,

Londres y Abril 9 de 1819.

TENGO el honor de remitir á VV, para que se sirvan insertarlo en su liberal y filantrópico periódico, el adjunto panfleto, entregado (expresamente) para desvanecer con datos evidentes ciertas equivocaciones, nada conformes con los buenos principios, y sanas intenciones del apreciable general San Martín.—En todas edades, épocas, y circunstancias, la envidia es el arma mas mortífera de la sociedad: sus poderosos ataques son rechazados por la constancia, la buena fé, y el honor. Cuanto mas acri- solado, instruido, ó virtuoso es un individuo, tiene mas que sufrir y tolerar. La experiencia me ha hecho conocer los funestos efectos de tan terribles males, por sostener mis patrióticos y liberales principios.—Como he tenido la honrosa oportunidad de tratar personalmente (en España) al general San Martin, conozco bien sus pondonorosos sentimientos, moral, y entrañable amor á la libertad: calidades dignas de respeto y admiracion en todas las clases de la sociedad. Adornado de un corazon sensible y generoso, de intrepidez y valor, el general San Martin se capta el cariño de los Pueblos, la consideracion de los gobiernos sensatos, y la gratitud y el amor del soldado disciplinado.—Si este general sabe eficazmente aprovecharse de sus naturales talentos, grandes recursos, y disposicion militar, la suerte no puede menos de declararse, protegiendo sus loables empresas, en favor de la libertad de su nativo País,—ya que sus militares y patrióticos esfuerzos, en la guerra de revolucion en España contra

distancia. En este intervalo se dispararon algunas piezas de artillería ligera, pero nada de importante se emprendió, ni el exército llegaba.

Viendo entonces el enemigo nuestra irresolucion, ó, por mejor decir, nuestra estupidez, la aprovechó sagazmente, y verificó el paso del rio á nuestra presencia. El se formó después en columna, y se retiró tranquilamente sobre Talea.

Si se hubiera dado asenso al aviso que yo di, ó si en fin el general San Martín, como debió hacerlo, hubiera á lo menos, corrido al ruido del cañon, así como se practica en todos los exércitos del mundo por los generales diligentes, activos, capaces de dirigir una guerra con el zelo de imprimir los acaecimientos que sabe prevenir su capacidad, se hubiera tomado ó destruido enteramente el exército enemigo sin perder acaso un hombre. Este estaba sin accion para moverse, ni poderse defender, y de tal modo empeñado, que le hubiera sido imposible salvarse, si se hubiera obrado, y si se hubieran ocupado las posiciones que le dominaban, y el solo desfiladero por donde podría retirarse. En una palabra, esta sería una imitacion de lo que sucedió á los Romanos en las Horcas caudinas.*

Pero el general San Martin no llegó con sus tropas hasta las cinco de la tarde, esto es, cuatro horas después que fue avisado, serviendo ya esto solo para convencerlo de haber dexado escapar una de las mas bellas circunstancias que la fortuna podria proporcionarle para destruir enteramente al exército enemigo, y por consiguiente concluir felizmente la guerra, apoderándose de Talcahuano que había quedado sin ninguna guarnicion.

Yo supuse antes, que el arte de hacer una guerra sin interrupcion y de proseguir sus ventajas, fuese conocida en Chile, aunque no está demostrado, porque en ninguna circunstancia se ha sabido aprovechar del favor que la fortuna ha presentado. Es pues necesario persuadirse,

* Mas cerca tenía el Señor Brayer la victoria de Baylen, en que todo el exército francés mandado por el general Dupont quedó prisionero por la destreza y valor del general Reding. Pero quizá no haría esta comparacion, sabiendo que el general San Martin fue uno de los héroes, que se inmortalizaron en aquella accion, (mucho mas grande que la de las Horcas caudinas), y en la cual el general Brayer acaso sería un testigo ocular como otros generales franceses. (P.F.S.)
