"The success of the 'Ancient Classics for English Readers' is among the curiosities, if not the inconsistencies, of the day. That success is doubtless, in the first instance, due to the signal ability with which the series is and promises to be conducted."
Quarterly Review, April 1871.
"We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to recommend the other volumes of this useful series."
Manchester Examiner.
"There have already appeared eight admirable volumes, each of which in simple language describes the character and style of some great work or collection of works of an old Greek or Roman author. The story of the writer's life, so far as it can be told, the connection between his personal history and the writings which have made his name famous, his peculiarity of style, and an admirable analysis of each of his works, are included in the design of every one of these volumes."
Daily Review.
"These little volumes should be in the library of every refined and educated lady, who, after reading them, will be for ever grateful to the editors and publishers of the series for putting it in her power to acquire in such a pleasant and easy way so much useful and interesting classical learning."
