Mr, Bryant, in translating the Iliad of Homer, conferred « priceloss gift upon the English-speaking race; and in the translation of the Odyssey, the first volume of whi-l lias Just beon published by James Rt, Osgood & Co. he doables the value of that gilt, and adds fresi: honor to his own name, A yoar has passed since the translation of the Titad appeared, aud scholars have had an opportunity to cive it careful and critical examination, There ts ho doubt tat the opinion of those best Mtted to pass Judgment upon the work 18 that, both as regards faithfulness to the original and poetic symmetry and beauty, Mr. Bryant has surpassed tue efforts of all Previous translators, aud given to the world the t Ea version. If tals conld be sald of the Tiiad, it certainly can be repented with much greater force of the Odyssey, for here Mr. Bryant has not #0 many eom- petitors, Whether it {s that the tales of heroism, the animation of the scenes, the clash of arms, and the alternating fortunes of tho field, have attracted fcholars rather to the Tiad than to the Odys- fey; or whether it is that there is certainty of find- ing a greater number of readers for the former than for the latter poem—whatever the reason, the fact Tomains tant the great mojority of the translators of Homer have turned their attention to the tale of Troy, neglecting that of Ulysses, And yet the story of the Oayssey ts @ more varied, and in many © more Interesting one than that of the Tiad. The action of the latter poom ts confined within th strip of land between the Trojan city and the sea, In the former the scene shifts from coun try to country, taking us to Ithaca, to Sparta, to the Inte of the Cyclops and of the loteseaters, The reader {8 carried with the brave Ulysses through all his wonderful adventures and hair-breadth escapes, accompanying him to the country of the Sirens, and even to the regtons of tho dead, Indeed, to many readers the story offers a relief from the monotony of barbaric boasting and florce slaughter that char. acterizes so mach of the great herole poem. In his prefatory remarks Mr, Bryant avoids the vexod question of the authorship of the Odyssey, mentioning ineidentally only one of those marked variations that have led seliolare to doubt whether the two poems could Lave proceeded from the same author.
