SUPPLEMENTAL SERIES.
ANCIENT CLASSICS
FOR
ENGLISH READERS.
Edited by the Rev. W. LUCAS COLLINS, M.A.
ADVERTISEMENT.
The marked success and general popularity of the Series of "Ancient Classics for English Readers," lately concluded in twenty volumes, has been accompanied liy some regiets, expressed both by the friendly critics of the press and in private quart-ers, at its not having been made somewhat more comprehensive.
This has induced us to undertake the issue of a "Supplementary" Series, intended to comprise the works of some few Latin and Greek authors which, for various reasons, were not included in the original plan.
It is hoped that the whole collection will thus supply, in a popular and convenient form, such a view of the literature of Ancient Greece and Rome as may give a fair idea of its subject-matter and its spirit to those who have not leisure to study it in the originals, and at the same time serve as an introduction to such study, where facilities for it can be enjoyed.
This Series will appear, like the preceding, in quarterly volumes, at half-a-crown each, and in the same size and type. It will not be extended beyond eight or ten such volumes. These will include the works of Aristotle, Thucydides, Demosthenes, Livy, Lucretius, Ovid, Catullus (with Tibullus and Propertius), Anacreon, Pindar, &c.
The volumes now published contain:—
1. LlVY. By the Editor.
2. OVID. By the Rev. Alfiied Church, M.A.
3. CATULLUS, TIBULLUS, and PROPERTIUS. By the Rev. James Davies, M.A.
4. DEMOSTHENES. By the Rev. W. J. Brodribb.
