Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of Euripides: On the Ion and the Bacchae The contemplation of a Graecian Drama under every point of view constitutes the design of these Illustrations. The Preliminary Essay discusses the History, Mythology, Laws, and Customs, on which the Fable is founded, and is intended to prepare the mind of the Reader by connecting several observations, which would obtrude on his attention with more inconvenience, if they were separately dispersed. The Intermediate Notes arise from the passage, to which they refer in the Original and English Translation by substituting the different texts, and are consequently very miscellaneous in the several objects of their critical inquiry. As the Author was not limited in the narrow boundary of an Editor's or Translator's page, he has often indulged himself with the full investigation of the subject, when the nature of it has been interesting enough, or the materials sufficiently copious to require it.
