Intnia as PATROWARE or, ass DEDICATED to.
•IS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT.

Prospectus of a New and Corrected Edition of the
DELPHIN CLASSICS ; with the VARIORUM
Notes appended. To be entitled The Regent's Edition.
To be printed and edited by A. J. VALI% M. A.
late Fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford.

- -
Tns high reputation, in the Learned World, of the DEL.
PHIN CLASSICS, and the prevailing scarcity almost of them,
ism little doubt that their madslication will be received with
petressage and approbation.
The Edition now proposed to be published, under the Petro-
sege of, and dedicated to, his Royal Highness the PRINCE
T, will be printed in a neat and uniform manner.
The Mars will be beautifully executed; and the WOOD CDs,
at present existing in the Durant and Vaunting Emmons will
else be inserted.
The avidity with which the DELPHI)/ CLASSICS are
sough, and the impracticability of procuring complete Sets, as
well as the knowledge that they contain many literal errors,
mod that the critical labors of the last Century, and the coils-
dim of many important MSS. hate considerably improved the
Mt, encourage the Printer in the expectation that a new and
forreeted Edition will be regarded in the most favorable man-
ner; especially as it is conceived that no library can be come-
dated as complete without a regular Collection of the CLassics,
and the Deszmus have been ever regarded by the Literiry World
as most valuable and distinguished Editions.
The Notes in the best and latest Vamps= Edition will be
printed st the mull au* Adair and the various Reedissfspiteed
ender the Text—thus will be incorporated, as it were the Diß-
rant and the Vamping Emmene.
The hat Indices will be adopted, and careful/a/ collate?! *MI
the Test, to remove the repent numerous faults in the ran-
rinses. The Were+, will be to the Book and Chapter, and
not to the Pager by which means the same Index will apply to
all other Editioni. :The Delphin Intetpretatio will be placed
ender the Teit, to 'mien,* the beauty of the Page. The Lelo.
miss Naitio from thelliptthr: E ldoaa, cantlineil to the present
time, will be added to each-Author.
The whole will be printed uniformly in octave, pr. las. boards,
each Part, to Subscribers, and 11. is. to Non-subscribers. Each
Part will contain 674 closely printed pages, without reference to
the conclusion of any Author, so that the Subscribers may bind
each Author in as many Volumes as they please, and arrange
them niphaberically or diresselpgicaßy, as most convenient.

Sonic Copies will be struck off on rery.fiae thick royal paper,
with a large margin, and !impressed, price to Subscribers it. 16s.
Non-subscriber a is. each Part. The price will be raised•
higher to Non-subscribers, as the Work 4avances.
The whole will snake about 120 to 130 Parts, and 12 Parts
will be printed in the year without fail. Each Part to be paid
for on delivery.
As only a certain number of Copies will be printed, the Work
ommet be sold In separate Parts, or Authors'
To preserve a fair margin, the page will not be too broad.
It may not be improper to observe, that a complete set of the
Delphin Editions sold at the Roxburghe Sale in 1812 for above
5001. and that a trifortn set of the Vitetosux can scarcely be
obtained at any price.
The necessity of publishing suck a Nartimat. Won= by sub-
scription is obvious, as it prevents all apprehensions of any check
M its completion, and without which it could not be undertaken.
A List of Subscribers will be published with the Work.
As it is confidently hoped that the Subscription will soon enable
the Work to be sent m press, it may lie necessary for such as are
desirous to subscribe tole early in forwarding their names; and
it the same time to state large or smell paper, se also the manner
in which the name should be printed in the list of Subscribers.
Present Subscription 46 large, 166 small paper.
To save expense, it is particulagy requested that a reference
sear be given to some friend or agent in London, where the
Parts stay he left and the money received. Any person travel-
ing abroad may hate his Parts kept at Mr. Valpy's Mee until
his retairu----•i • N. B. The Subscription will soon be rimed.
