UNDER an impression that the novelty of plan, and advantages of arrangement, adopted in this Edition of Anacreon, will render it generally acceptable to Students, the Publishers have been induced to publish the first twenty-eight Odes separately.

A translation in English rhyme. 4. A literal translation in prose, in which the ellipses of the original are supplied, and the points of difference between the idioms of the Greek and English languages pointed out. 5. Variorum Notes, for the most part in English, selected from the best Editors and Commentators. 6. A grammatical Analysis, in which all the original Greek words are parsed for the use of learners; and 7. A Lexicon, in which the same words are all fully explained, so as to supersede the necessity of a separate Greek Lexicon. The literal Translation, the grammatical Analysis, and the Lexicon, will, it is presumed, render the edition one |
