58 ANCIENT CLASSICS 



List of the Volumes published. 



I.-HOMER: THE ILIAD, 



By THE Editor. 



' ' We can confidently recommend this first volume of ' Ancient Classics 

 for English Readers ' to all who have forgotten their Greek and desire 

 to refresh their knowledge of Homer. As to those to whom the series 

 is chiefly addressed, who have never learnt Greek at all, this little book 

 gives them an opportunity which they had not before— an opportunity 

 not only of remedying a want they must often have felt, but of remedy- 

 ing it by no patient and irksome toil, but by a few hours of pleasant 

 reading. " — Times. 



II.-HOMER: THE ODYSSEY. 



By THE Editor. 



" Mr Collins has gone over the ' Odyssey with loving hands, and he 

 tells its eternally fresh story so admirably, and picks out the best pas- 

 sages so skilfully, that he gives us a charming volume. In the ' Odyssey,' 

 as treated by Mr Collins, we have a story-book that might charm a 

 child or amuse and instruct the wisest man." — Scotsman. 



lll.-HEROpOTUS. 



By George C. Swayne, M.A. 



■ ' This volume altogether confirms the highest anticipations that were 

 formed as to the workmanship and the value of the series." — Daily 

 Telegraph, 



IV.-THE COMMENTARIES OF C/ESAR, 



By Anthony Trollope. 



"We can only say that all admirers of Mr Trollope will find his 

 ' Caesar ' almost, if not quite, as attractive as his most popular novel, 

 while they will also find that the exigencies of faithful translation have 

 not been able to subdue the charm of his pecuUar style. The original 

 part of his little book — the introduction and conclusion — are admirably 

 written, and the whole work is quite up to the standard of its predeces- 

 sors, than saying which, we can give no higher praise." — Vanity Fair. 



V,-V I R G I L. 



By THE Editor. 



"Such a volume cannot fail to enhance the reputation of this promis- 

 ing series, and deserves the perusal of the most devoted Latinists, not 

 less than of the English readers for whom it is designed." — Contemporary 

 Review. 



"It would be diflttcult to describe the ' yEneid ' better than it is done 

 here, and still more difficult to find three more delightful works than tne 

 ' Iliad,' the ' Odyssey, ' and the ' Virgil ' of Mr Collins." — Standard,
