The publication of this edition of the Classics was suggested by the constantly increasing demand by teachers for an edition which, by judicious notes, would give to the student the assistance really necessary to render his study profitable, furnishing explanations of passages difficult of interpretation, of peculiarities of syntax, &c., and yet would require him to make faithful use of his grammar and dictionary. It is believed that this Classical Series needs only to be known to insure its very general use. The publishers claim for it peculiar merit, and beg leave to call attention to the following important particulars: The purity of the texts. The clearness and conciseness of the notes, and their adaptation to the wants of students. The beauty of the type and paper. The handsome style of binding. The convenience of the shape and size. The low price at which the volumes are sold. The preparation of the whole Series is the _original work_ of American scholars. The texts are not _mere reprints_, but are based upon a careful and painstaking comparison of _all the most improved editions_, with constant reference to the authority of the best manuscripts. No pains have been spared to make the notes accurate, clear, and _helpful to the learner_. Points of geography, history, mythology, and antiquities are explained in accordance with the views of the best German scholars. The references to the grammars most in use in this country, viz.: HARKNESS'S LATIN GRAMMAR AND ANDREWS & STODDARD'S LATIN GRAMMAR, is in itself an advantage to be gained only by the use of this edition. Desirous of affording Professors and Teachers of Latin throughout the entire country an opportunity of becoming acquainted with these books, the publishers will send copies for examination, gratis, to every Teacher of Latin in the United States, on application, accompanied by a catalogue of the institution with which he is connected, or of which he is the Principal. * * * * * The Series, when complete, will consist of CAESAR'S COMMENTARIES, VIRGIL'S AENEID, CICERO'S ORATIONS, HORACE, SALLUST AND LIVY, Of which there are now ready the following, viz.: CAESAR'S COMMENTARIES on the Gallic War. With Explanatory Notes, a Vocabulary, Geographical Index, Map of Gaul, Plan of the Bridge, &c., &c. By Prof. George Stuart. Price by mail, postpaid, $1.25. Per dozen, by express, $11.25. The text of Caesar has been carefully compared with that of Kraner, Oehler, Nepperdey, and other distinguished editors. Much care has been bestowed upon this portion of the work, and it is hoped that whatever improvements have been introduced into the text by the learning and research of the German editors named, will be found in the present edition.
