United Kingdom.
To those who are desirous of obtaining a knowledge of
the most esteemed Authors of Greece and Rome, but
possess not the means or leisure for pursuing a regular
course of study, the present undertaking must prove a va-
luable acquisition.
So diversified are the objects to which general educa-
tion is at present directed, that sufficient time cannot be
allowed, in most instances, to lay foundation of an ade-
quate acquaintance with the most popular Authors in the
Greek and Latin Languages. In those instances even, in
which the object has been attained—where the taste has
been formed, and the habit of occasional recurrence to' the
Classics has been preserved—the facility of reference to a
Series of correct and elegant Translations must afford
pleasure, and occasional assistance,' even to the scholar.
To him who, as Dr. Knox observes, although engaged in
other pursuits, is still anxious to " retain a tineture of that
elegante and liberality ofseentinietti which 'the mind ac-
quires by a study of the Classici, and which contributes
more to form the true gentleman, than all the substituted
ornaments of modern affectation," such a Collection will,
it is confidently hoped, prove acceptable.
As the learned languages do not form part of the educa-
tion of Females, the only access which they have to the
valuable stores of antiquity is through the medium of cor-
rect translation.

The Selection is intended to include those Authors,
whose works may with propriety be read by the youth of
both sexes ; and it will be obvious that the nature of the
publication is of so permanent a character, as to prove
equally interesting to posterity as to the present subscribers.
The whole will be prevented to the public in a Cheap,
Elegant, and Uniform Size, forming a complete " Family
Classical Library," alike useful for the purposes of instruc-
tion and amusement. Indeed, as Dr. Parr says, "if you
desire your son, though no great scholar, to read and re-
flect, it is your duly to place into his hands the best Trans-
lations of the best Classical Authors."

A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH will be rrefixed to
each Author; and NOTES will be added, when necessary,
for the purpose of illustration.
The importance attached, in the present day, to Trans-
lations of the Classic Authors may be estimated by the
fact, that a series has been recently published in France,
and that another in the Russian language is now in pro-
gress, under the immediate sanction of the Imperial Go-
vernment.

The excellence, as Orators and Historians, of Demos-
thenes, Cicero, Herodotus, ana Xenophon, will place them
foremost in the collection of Prose Authors ; these will be
followed by Thueydides, Livy, Sallnst, Tacitus,
Homer, Virgil, and Horace, will justly take precedence
among the Poets.

THE EXCLUSIVES!!!

" The Exclusives' will excite more attention than any
work of a similar class has done, since Tremaine. It will
do this for several reasons: partly from its name, still more
from the curiosity which has been raised respecting the
alleged eminent station of its writer, but most of all from
its intrinsic qualities and characteristics. ' The Exclu-
sives' is emphatically and ' exclusively' a picture of
fashionable life at the present day : we will add, in un-
qualified and unhesitating terms, that it is generally speak-
ing at once the truest, the fairest, the most intelligible, and
the most comprehensive picture of that life, which has yet
been presented to the world."—Court Journal.
