To those who are desirous of obtaining a knowledge of the most
es erred Authors of Greece and Rome, but possess net the means
or leisure for pursuing a regular course of study, the present un-
dertaking must prove a valuable acquisition.
So diversified are the objects to which general education is at
present directed, that sufficient time cannot be allowed, in most
instances, to lay the foundation of an adequate acquaintance with
the most popular Authors in the Greet' 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 tincture of that elegance and liberality of sentiment
which the mind acquires by a study or the Classics, and which
contributes more to form the true gentleman, than all the substi-
tuted ornaments of modern affectation," such a Collection will, it
is confidently hoped, prove acceptable.
As the learned languages do not form part of the education of
Females. the only access which they bare to the valuable stores
of antiquity is through the medium of correct translation.
The Selection is intended to include those Authors, whose
works may with propriety be read by the )outh of both sexes ; and
it will be obvious that the nature of the publication is of so per-
manent a character, as to prove equally interesting to posterity as
to the present sutscribers. The whole will be presented to the
public in a CHIA!, =same, and morrow SUB, forming a complete
" Family Classical Library," alike useful for the purposes of in-
structioo and amusement. Indeed, as Dr. Pass says, "If you
desire your son, though no great scholar, to read and reflect, it is
your duty to place into his hands the best Translations of the best
Classical Authors."
A BIOGRAPHICAL SearcH will be prefixed to each Author; and
Novas will be added, when necessary, for the purpose of illus-
tration.
The importance attached, in the present day, to Translations of
the Classical 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 progress, under the immediate sanc-
tion of the Imperial Government.
The excellence, as orators and historians, of Deuorruzues,
Ciento, HILIIRDOTUS, and Xisoeuoe, will place them foremost in
the collection of Prose Authors : these will be followed by niece-
DMZ', Lava'. SALLUST, Tacirus, Scce.—HONXIL, VIRGIL, and Ho-
sacs, will justly take precedence among the Poets.
