_The translators have endeavoured to adhere as closely to the original as
was thought consistent with a proper observance of English idiom. At the

the author. This work is characterised by the_ Spectator _as "a scholarly
and faithful translation."_

_The translators have sought to produce such a version as may satisfy
scholars who demand a faithful rendering of the original, and English
readers who are offended by the baldness and frigidity which commonly
disfigure translations. The treatises are accompanied by introductions,
notes, maps, and a chronological summary. The_ Athenæum _says of this
work that it is "a version at once readable and exact, which may be
perused with pleasure by all, and consulted with advantage by the
classical student."_
