BURGES, GEORGE (1786-1864)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 813 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURGES, GEORGE (1786-1864) , English classical scholar, was born in India. He was educated at Charterhouse school and Trinity College,
Cambridge
 , taking his degree in 1807, and obtaining one of the members' prizes both in 18o8 and 1809. He stayed up at
Cambridge
  and became a most successful " coach." He had a
great
  reputation as a Greek scholar, and was a somewhat acrimonious critic of rival scholars, especially Bishop Blomfield. Subsequently he fell into embarrassed circumstances through injudicious speculation, and in 1841 a civil
list
  pension of loo per annum was bestowed upon him. He died at Ramsgate, on the filth of January 1864. Burges was a man of
great
  learning and industry, but too fond of introducing arbitrary emendations into the text of classical authors. His
chief
  works are: Euripides' Troades (1807) and Phoenissae (1809); Aeschylus' Supplices (1821), Eumenides (1822) and Prometheus (1831); Sophocles' Philoctetes (1833); E. F. Poppo's Prolegomena to Thucydides (1837), an abridged translation with
critical
  remarks; Hermesianactis Fragmenta (1839). He also edited some of the dialogues of Plato with English notes, and translated nearly the whole of that author and the Greek
anthology
  for
Bohn
 's Classical library. He was a frequent contributor to the Classical Journal and other
periodicals
 , and dedicated to Byron a play called The Son of Erin, or, The Cause of the Greeks (1823).
