Two impressions of the seal of the Abbey of Shapp (anciently Hepp), said
not to be attainable by the editors of the late splendid edition of the
_Monasticon_, are preserved in the Machell MSS.

_Oration against Demosthenes_ (Vol. iii., p. 141.).--For the information of
your correspondent KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE, I transcribe the title of the
oration against Demosthenes, for which he makes inquiry, which was not
"privately printed" as he supposes, but _published_ last year by Mr. J. W.
Parker.

"The Oration of Hyperides against Demosthenes, respecting the Treasure
of Harpalus. The Fragments of the Greek Text, now first edited from the
Fac-simile of the MS. discovered at Egyptian Thebes in 1847; together
with other Fragments of the same Oration cited in Ancient Writers. With
a Preliminary Dissertation and Notes, and a Fac-simile of a Portion of
the MS. By Churchill Babington, M.A. London: J. W. Parker, 1850."

The discovery of the MS. was made by Mr. {228} A. C. Harris of Alexandria,
who placed a fac-simile in the hand of Mr. Churchill Babington, who edited
it as above described.

My information is derived from an article on the work in the _Christian
Remembrancer_ for October, 1850, to which I refer MR. MACKENZIE for further
particulars.

[MR. EDWARD SHEARE JACKSON, B.A., to whom we are indebted for a similar
reply, adds, "Mr. Harris contributed a paper on the MS. to the Royal
Society of Literature"]

Mr. Sharpe has also published "Fragments of Orations in Accusation and
Defence of Demosthenes, respecting the money of Harpalus, arranged and
translated," in the _Journal of the Philological Society_, vol. iv.; and
the German scholars Boeckh (in the _Hallische Litteratur-Zeitung_ for 1848)
and Sauppe have also written critical notices on the fragments; but whether
their notices include the old and new fragments, I am unable to say, having
only met with a scanty reference to their learned labours.
