GREEK AND LATIN TEXTS.

CAREFULLY REPRINTED FROM THE BEST EDITIONS.

ELEGANTLY PRINTED, 18mo, FLEXIBLE CLOTH BINDING, 75 Cents a Vol.

This Series is intended to supply cheap and accurate pocket editions of the Classics, which shall be superior in mechanical execution to the small German editions now current in this country, and more convenient in form. The Texts of the "Bibliotheca Classica" and Grammar-School Classics, so far as they have been published, will be adopted. These editions have taken their place among scholars as valuable contributions to classical literature, and are admitted to be good examples of the judicious and practical nature of English scholarship; and as the editors have formed their texts from a careful examination of the best editions extant, it is believed that no texts better adapted for general use can be found. The volumes are handsomely printed in a good plain type, and on a firm fine paper, capable of receiving writing ink for notes, and are supplied at the moderate price of Seventy-five Cents a volume.

Harper's Greek and Latin Texts.

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM DISTINGUISHED CLASSICAL SCHOLARS.

From C. C. FELTON, LL.D., late President of Harvard College.

I have had great pleasure in reading them (your edition of the Texts of Horace, Eschylus, and Euripides), from the beauty of the typography, the excellence of the paper, the convenience of the form, and the remarkable correctness of the printing. I never make a journey without one or more of these volumes in my pocket. I hope you will continue the series, so as to include every important work in Greck and Roman literature. These editions would be excellent to use in the recitation-room with

college classes.

From Prof. PROUDFIT, Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N. J.

There is a tradition that Porson used to carry a Library of the Classics in his pockets. Your "Greek and Latin Texts" seem almost to make the thing possible. So light and lithe are they, so pleasant to the eye and portable to the pocket, that one may say, with Cicero, "Delectant domi, non impediunt foris, nobiscum peregrinantur, rusticantur."

From Prof. HENRY DRISLER, Columbia College, N. Y., Editor of "Liddell and Scott's Greek Lexicon.' "9

You have just hit the mark in undertaking to supply a series of class-room textbooks from editions of established character, printed on handsome white paper, with clear type and black ink, in a form convenient to handle, and attractive to the eye.

From Prof. JAMES HADLEY, Yale College, New Haven.

The volumes thus far embraced in your "Greek and Latin Texts" have received the editorial care of able and distinguished scholars, and, so far as I have examined them, they appear to be printed with remarkable correctness. Their typographical elegance and clearness, as well as the compactness and lightness which fit them for the pocket, are qualities obvious to every eye. I regard the publication of such a series as an important service rendered to classical study and instruction, and as promising especial advantage to the colleges of our country.

From Rev. J. J. OWEN, D.D., College of the City of New York.

In publishing the "Greek and Latin Texts" in so beautiful and portable a form, you have, in my judgment, rendered a very great service to the cause of classical learning. The publication can not but be highly successful.

From Rev. HoWARD CROSBY, D.D., late Professor of Greek at Rutgers College, N. J. Your series of Classical Texts have attained a most merited reputation as the very best classical issues emanating from an American source. Their perfection of type and accessories, and their careful, scholarly preparation, with their remarkable cheapness, will (and ought to) make them universally used in our schools and colleges.

From Prof. A. C. KENDRICK, Rochester University.

These editions are a credit to the American press. Text, type, and paper are alike unexceptionable. In reading these authors (Eschylus, Euripides, and Herodotus) I shall constantly recommend your editions to my classes.

From Prof. EDWARD GRAHAM DAWES, Trinity College, Hartford.

The teachers of America can not fail to be grateful to you for this admirable edition of the Classics. The accuracy of the text, the elegance of the typography, the freedom from commentary, and the price, all alike tend to commend these little volumes to every classical instructor. I shall introduce them in all my classes.

From Prof. G. MUSGRAVE GIGER, College of New Jersey, Princeton.

We have carefully examined the volume of "Harper's Greek and Latin Texts" containing the Works of Horace. In typographical accuracy and appearance it compares favorably with the charming edition of Didot, and never, perhaps, has Horace been more carefully and efficiently edited. *** We feel confident that, if its merits were known, it could not fail to secure a most extended circulation.

From Prof. HENRY M. BAIRD, University of the City of New York.

From the volumes which I have examined I am led to form a very favorable opinion of this edition of the ancient Classics. We need just such a uniform series, consisting of small, portable volumes, containing a text based upon the most recent investigations of the great scholars of our day. I am glad to find the typography of your edition so much more elegant than the similar publications of either Tauchnitz or Teubner.
