PREFATORY NOTE.

The changes, which the Author has had occasion to make in the new edition of the third and fourth volumes of this work, have chiefly arisen out of the recent discovery of the Fragments of Licinianus, which have supplemented our defective information as to the epoch from the battle of Pydna to the revolt of Lepidus in various not unimportant points, but have also suggested various fresh difficulties.
