NOTE.

On p. 132, after the _dramatis personæ_, I perceive that I have stated

that the scene of this piece changes from Delphi to the _Hill of Mars_,

Athens. This is either inaccurate, or, at least, imperfect; for the

first change of scene is manifestly (as stated p. 148), to the temple of

Athena Pallas, on the Acropolis; and, though the imagination naturally

desires that the institution of the Court of the Areopagus should take

place on the exact seat of its future labours, yet the construction of

the drama by no means necessitates another change of scene, and the

allusion to the Hill of Mars in p. 162 is easily explicable on the

supposition that it lies directly opposite the Acropolis, and that

Pallas points to it with her finger.
