IPSTORICAL AND MILITARY CLASSICS.
Being a reptiLllcation, in Monthly Numbers; pre! 2s. 64. each,
of a cheap and uniform Library Edition of all the Greek, Ro-
man, and Ancient European Orienal Historians; reprinted
verbatim from the best 'lsranilations, and at one-fourth (and in

This day was published, price ,2s Gd.
jtk.RRIAN's EXPEDITION of ALEXANDER
the GREAT into Persia and India. from the Transbtion
of Mr. Roe% E.
•This Book is how selling in London at Two Guineas. The
whole of it win be included in three Numbers of the Clam:ice,
price Half-a-crown each. The Second Number will be published
on the let of May, and the Third on the Ist of the following
month. The plan df the Historical and Mili:ary Classics is to
reduce the present enormous price of books, and to Owe so the
Army, the Cl rgy. and the general Scholar, a complete body of
(Neck, Roman, and ancient European iiistotT, at one fourth of
their present prices. This is effected by this use` f a smaller wad
more elegant type, and a large royal octavo pg instead of tad
large letter and wide margins In which quarto pages are madly
printed. The ordinary quarto page In which the Historical Clas-
sics is printed, contains as much as three ordinary quarto pages,
so *at a Number of the Classics. containing 100 pages octavo,
. will contain a quarto volume of 500 pages. 'lle price of a quarto
valuate of this size Is one pinta ands half ; the price dalsluna.
ber of the clinics, which would contain the whole of that vo-
lume, is 2a. 6d. The following prices will best speak far them-
selves: The selling price of Xenopbon's Retreat of the l'est Thou-
sand, is 125.; it is omtalned in the first and !trued Numbers d
the Classics for ss. The price of Polyhius Is 28s, it is
