BOHN'S BRITISH CLASSICS.--Under the above Title is this Day commenced a New
Series (which has long been in preparation), uniform in Size and Price with
the Standard Library. It will comprise full and complete Editions of the
great Authors of our Literature, including especially those which at
present exist only in scarce or expensive Editions. Among the early Volumes
will be GIBBON'S DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, with VARIORUM NOTES,
comprising not only all those given in the Original Quarto Edition, but
also the Notes of Guizot, Wenck, and other Foreign Editors, as well as
whatever has been derived from the later Researches of Niebuhr, Layard, &c.
A Portrait of the Author and Plates, whenever essential as Illustrations,
will be added, on the same plan as the recent Edition of SOUTHEY'S COWPER
published in the STANDARD LIBRARY.
Although it is deemed expedient to enter on a New Series under the Title of
BRITISH CLASSICS, to enable the Publisher, without farther delay, to
fructify a long cherished scheme, the Standard, Scientific, Antiquarian,
Illustrated, Classical, Philological, and Ecclesiastical Libraries will be
continued with undiminished attention.
