This translation of Terence was published by Harper & Brothers as the second part of an omnibus volume also containing the 1853 Riley translation (prose, with notes and commentary). The Riley portion has been released as a separate e-text.
This e-text includes readings from the 1768 second edition of Colman, shown along the right side of the screen. In general, only differences in wording are included; variations in spelling and punctuation were disregarded, and stage directions are omitted unless significant. It is not known whether the Harper’s text was based on the first edition of Colman or some later edition. Where the Harper text was clearly in error, the 1768 reading was substituted in the main text. Errors are marked with mouse-hover popups:
—Shared
errors.
—Errors in the Harper text, corrected
from the 1768 edition. In some plays, quotation marks were also supplied
from the 1768 edition.
—Errors in the 1768 edition.
Page numbers in the left margin are from the 1896 Harper text, which is generally identical to the original 1859 printing and may have been set from the same plates. Page numbers in the right margin are from the 1768 Colman edition.
All illustrations are from the 1768 Colman edition.

Primores populi arripuit populumque tributim: Scilicet uni æquus virtuti atque ejus amicis. Quin ubi se a vulgo et scena in secreta remorant Virtus Scipiadæ et mitis sapientia Læli, Nugari cum illo et discincti ludere, donec Decoqueretur olus, soliti. Horace. |
