Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from A Lexicon to Æschylus: Containing a Critical Explanation of the More Difficult Passages in the Seven Tragedies

It is not pretended that in this Lexicon the student will find a full solution of every difficulty. It may, however, be honestly asserted that no passage has been designedly passed over where any real obscurity exists: in all such, except from unintentional omission, either an explanation has been given or the nature of the difficulty stated. This, of course, does not apply to those passages so obviously corrupt, that to attempt to explain them in their present state would be a mere waste of time, and an unprofitable exercise of ingenuity.
