"74. Iliad translated by Philip Stanhope Worsley. Edit. by Conington. 2 vol. 1868 . . . ." (Foster, p.70)

This is not quite correct. Vol. 2, containing Books xiii-xxiv, was translated by Conington, with the exception of twelve stanzas of Book xiii, which are Worsley's. Vol. 1 is dated 1865. {nop}}
