Edited by various hands, under the direction of GEORGE LONG, Esq., M.A.,
late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Classical Lecturer of
Brighton College; and the Rev. ARTHUR JOHN MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity
College, Cambridge, and Principal of Brighton College.
Early in the ensuing year will be commenced a Series of the Greek and
Roman Authors, carefully edited with English Notes, on a uniform plan.
The series will be especially adapted to the wants of students in the
higher forms of public schools and at the universities, and will
embrace, in the first instance, those works which are usually read in
the course of a classical education.
The works will be edited by various hands; and, to secure uniformity and
consistency in execution, the series will be under the united management
of Mr. Long and Mr. Macleane.
The first volume will be ready early in 1850. The subsequent volumes
will be published at intervals, as regularly as may be found
practicable, at the rate of four or five volumes in the year.
The following works are undertaken by the gentlemen whose names are set
opposite:--
HOMER: Illiad, - Rev. Benjamin Hall Kennedy. D.D.,

ILIAD, One Volume.
HORACE, Two Volumes.
CICERO, Orations, Vol. I.
PLATO, Dialogues, Vol. I.

Each work will be sold separately; but, as the Publishers expect that
they will be enabled to extend the series until it shall approximate
to a complete collection of the Greek and Latin Classics, and as they
have reason to think that such a collection would be found an
acceptable addition to all public and private Libraries, they
hope to receive the names of persons who are willing to give
encouragement to the scheme, as Subscribers to the entire Series.
