14 ANCIENT CLASSICS 
Vaeee¥eot RaGet its, 
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 difficult to describe the ‘A¢neid’ better than it is done 
here, and still more difficult to find three more delightful works than the 
‘Iliad, the ‘ Odyssey,’ and the ‘ Virgil’ of Mr Collins.” Standard. 
VI.—HORACE, 
By THEODORE MartTIN, 
‘« Though we have neither quoted it, nor made use of it, we have no 
hesitation in saying that the reader who is wholly or for the most part 
unable to appreciate Horace untranslated, may, with the insight he 
gains from the lively, bright, and, for its size, exhaustive little volume 
to which we refer, account himself hereafter familiar with the many- 
sided charms of the Venusian, and able to enjoy allusions to his life and 
works which would otherwise have been a sealed book to him.” —Quar- 
terly Review. 
‘We wish, after closing his book, to be able to read it again for the 
first time; it is suited to every occasion ; a pleasant travelling com- 
panion ; welcome in the library where Horace himself may be consulted; 
welcome also in the intervals of business; or when leisure is abundant.’ 
—Edinburgh Review. 
“In our judgment, no volume (of the series) hitherto has come up to 
the singular excellence of that now under consideration. The secret of 
this is, that its author so completely puts himself in Horace’s place, scans 
the phases of his life with such an insight into the poet’s character and 
motives, and leaves on the reader's mind so little of an impression that 
he is following the attempts of a mere modern to realise the feelings 
and expressions of an ancient. . . . Mr Martin has executed a task, 
the merit and value of which is quite out of proportion to the size 
and pretensions of his volume.” —Saturday Review. 
VIIL—AESCHYLUS., 
By REGINALD S. CopPLeston, B.A. 
‘*A really delightful little volume.”— The Examiner. 
“The author with whom Mr Copleston has here to deal exemplifies 
the advantage of the method which has been used in this series. ? 
Mr Copleston has apprehended this main principle, as we take it to be, 
of his work : has worked it out with skill and care, and has given to the 
public a volume which fulfils its intention as perfectly as any of the, 
series.” — Spectator. 
VIIlL.—XENOPHON. 
By Sir ALEXANDER GRANT, Bart., 
Principal of the University of Edinburgh. 
‘‘Sir Alexander Grant tells the story of Xenophon’s life with much 
eloquence and power. It has evidently been with him a labour of love ; 
while his wide reading and accurate scholarship are manifest on nearly 
every page.” —The Examiner. |
