CLASSICAL WRITERS, 



Edited by JOHN RICHARD GREEN. 



16nio, Flexible cloth. - - - Price, 60 cents. 



Under the above title, Messrs. D. Appleton & Co. are issuing a series 

 of small volumes upon some of the principal classical and English writers, 

 whose works form subjects of study in our colleges, or which are read by 

 the general public concerned in classical and English literature for its 

 own sake. As the object of the series is educational, care is taken to 

 impart information in a systematic and thorough way, while an intelligent 

 interest in the writers and their works is sought to be aroused by a clear 

 and attractive style of treatment. Classical authors especially have too 

 long been regarded as mere instruments for teaching pupils the principles 

 of grammar and language, while the personality of the men themselves 

 and the circumstances under which they wrote have been kept in the 

 background. Against such an irrational and one-sided method of educa- 

 tion the present series is a protest. 



It is a principle of the series that, by careful selection of authors, the 

 best scholars in each department shall have the opportunity of speaking 

 directly to students and readers, each on the subject which he has made 

 his own.
