Markland

An English classicist and text-critic, born October 29, 1693, and educated at London and Cambridge. He died July 7, 1776. His work included a number of emendations of the text of Lysias and of Euripides, and a great edition of the very difficult Silvae of Statius (London, 1728; last ed. Dresden, 1824). He attacked the authenticity of Cicero's letters to Brutus, and of the Ciceronian orations Pro Domo Sua, Post Reditum in Senatu, Ad Quirites, and the De Haruspicum Responsis, in which he was afterwards followed by F. A. Wolf. See Wolf, Analecten, ii. 370-391.
