ANCIENT CLASSIOS FOR ENGLISH READERS. 13 
OPINIONS—continued, 
‘A series which has done, and is doing, so much towards spreading 
among Englishmen intelligent and appreciative views of the chief clas- 
sical authors.” —Sztandard, 
‘«To sum up ina phrase our sincere and hearty commendation of one 
of the best serial publications we have ever examined, we may just say 
that to the student and the scholar, and to him who is neither scholar 
nor student, they are simply priceless as a means of acquiring and ex- 
tending a familiar acquaintance with the great classic writers of Greece 
and Rome.’”—Belfast Northern Whig. 
List of the Volumes published. 
L-HOMER: THE ILIAD. 
By THE EDITOR. 
‘‘Wecan 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.” —Tzmes. 
IL-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. 
I1L.—-HERODOTUS. 
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.”—Dazly 
Telegraph. 
IV.—THE COMMENTARIES OF C/ESAR, 
By ANTHONY TROLLOPE. 
‘*We can only say that all admirers of Mr Trollope will find his 
‘Cesar’ 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 peculiar 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 Fazr.
