LetThe text here printed is based on Vahlen's
third edition（Leipzig,
1885）, and the chief deviations from it are noted at the foot of each
page. The prime source of all existing texts of the Poetics is the eleventh
century Paris manuscript, No. 1741, designated as Ac. To the manuscripts of the
Renaissance few, except Dr. Margoliouth, now assign any independent value, but

Vahlen's third edition, and By. for the late Professor Ingram Bywater, who has

The Newport Artillery (Company F of the Rhode Island Regiment) is one of the oldest military organizations in the country.

In their armory at Newport they have an autograph letter from Gen. Geo. Washington, written in 1792, thanking them for an invitation to be with them at their annual celebration on the 22d of February of that year, which is handsomely framed.
