ADVERTISEMENT.

So few copies of the translation of the Satires of Persius,' by the late Charlton Byam Wollaston, Esq., were allowed by him to be printed for private distribution amongst his friends, that he had not a sufficient number even for that purpose, and he had many applications for copies, which he was unable to supply. It was therefore his intention to print a Second Edition, and he had prepared this copy, with various corrections, quite ready for the press.

There were also found amongst Mr Wollaston's papers several translations from Juvenal, Horace, and other authors, and as the translations of the Epodes of Horace' appear in a more finished state than the rest,

and there is reason to believe he intended to print them, they are added to the present Edition; and it is hoped they will not lessen that reputation for accuracy and spirit which his translation of Persius has so uniformly obtained.
