Methuen's Classical Texts

GENERAL EDITOR

E. C. MARCHANT, M. A.

OF TRINITY COLLEGE, OXFORD; FELLOW OF PETERHOUSE, CAMBRIDGE; ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL, LONDON.

Messers. Methuen propose to issue a new series of Classical Texts, edited by eminent scholars, for the use of English-speaking students. The books will be well printed and bound, and will be published at a very low price. The first volume of every author will contain a brief Introduction in English, not exceeding eight pages, in which the necessary information about the MSS. will be given, and the salient features of the author's style indicated.

The critical notes, which will be at the foot of the page, will exhibit only the important MS. variants and conjectures of special value. They will contain very little argument; and there will be no explanatory notes. Every volume of the series will contain a short Index Rerum et Nominum.

Special attention will be paid to the typography of the series.

The following, among many others, are arranged:—

AUTHOR. EDITOR.
Aeschylus, R. Y. Tyrrell, D. Litt., Ll. D.; Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Dublin.
Aristophenes, 2 vols., Professor Tyrrell.
