“ In presenting this supplement to his work I abide (except in one or two items) by his own principles, and confine myself to literal translations, excluding excerpts, adaptations, paraphrases and the like. In the following chronological list the numbered items refer to Foster's book; those without numbers are additions:
"2. Penelopes Complaint: Or, A Mirrour for wanton Minions. Taken out of Homers Odissea, and written in English Verse, by Peter Colse. 1596. 4o." (Foster, p.62) .
This is far from a literal translation of Homer, being a free adaptation and paraphrase of some passages. ”

“ Homeric Ballads [from the Odyssey] ; with Translation and notes by the late W. Maginn . . . . 1850. 8o. . . ." (Foster, p.69) .
Maginn wrote ballads taken from the Iliad as well as the Odyssey. A collected edition appeared in 1856, edited by Shelton Mackenzie. 1850.—"The First Iliad of Homer. [Translated into English verse by W. G. T. Barter.] In Poems, original and translated, etc., 1850, 8o."
1850.—"The Iliad of Homer, the First, Second, and Third Cantos: translated . . . . in a metrical version most comformable, though not identical in construction, with the original Greek Hexameter . . . ”
