Extract
The original of the MS. here reproduced was recently presented to the A Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies by Professor Arberry, with the suggestion that the handwriting might be found to be that of Sir W. Jones. This conjecture, as will be shown below, has proved to be correct.

page 670 note 1 works of Sir William Jones, I, 55. “Depredations of worms and time” suggests that the “Mormo” had been in India—and had been kept by him by the author for revision, if not actually revised.
page 670 note 2 He never wrote iambics conforming to the laws established by Porson for the tragic trimeter in 1797, when the “Porsonian pause” was adumbrated in a note on Hecuba 347, and following years. Jones's preference was for the livelier comic trimeter with complete freedom in the matter of resolved feet.
