Harles informs us, in one passage, that Minutianus did not consult any MSS. in the preparation of this edition, but merely collated the editions of the separate parts of Cicero’s writings previously published, so that his work is only a continued reimpression of preceding editions678; but he elsewhere mentions, that he had inspected the MSS. of the Orations which Poggio had brought from Germany to Italy679.

The Bishop of Dromere made no attempt at editing the work much beyond what was necessary to secure an exact reimpression.

Now the editor of the Irish reimpression, who must have omitted to consult the edition of Steevens, merely committed a blunder in attempting to unite the two fragments as first published by Mr. Malone.

Such is my first reimpression.

J'ai discuté avec Lewes l'idée de faire la réimpression de mes articles, et il m'a conseillé de ne pas le faire si je puis fonder un livre sur ces articles.
