_New Edition of Milton_ (Vol. ii., p. 21.).--The Rev. J. Mitford, as I
have understood, is employed upon a new edition of Milton's works, both
prose and verse, to be published by Mr. Pickering. I may mention, by the
way, that the sentence from Strada, "Cupido gloriae, quae etiam
sapientibus novissima exuitur," which is quoted by Mr. Mitford on
Lycidas, Aldine edition, v. 71. ("Fame, that last infirmity of noble
minds"), is borrowed from Tacitus _Hist_. iv. 6. Compare _Athenæus_, xi.
15. § 116. p. 507. d., where Plato is represented as saying:--
"[Greek: Eschaton ton taes doxaes chitona en to thanato auto
apoduometha.]"
Will you allow me to add, that the quotation from Seneca in Vol. i., p.
427. Of "NOTES AND QUERIES" is from the _Nat. Quaest. Proef_.
