*.* This is the only edition containing all the most recent im-
provements and additions of Professor Anthon an other eminent
scholars ; and it is hoped that it will be distinguished from all other
editions of Lempriere, which, though larger in size, contain a large
quantity of matter not calculated to assist the scholar, and which has
been purposely expunzed from this edition, thus diminishing the ex-
pense of the work without injuring its utility as language,y school-
book. All indelicacies, both in matter andhave been
carefully avoided.
