"A more magnificent work than the above has never been produced in any country. It is difficult to conceive the gorgeous yet harmonious effect of the colors, which could only have been produced by the Lithochromatographic process. The plates are of a very large size, and present some of the most tasteful specimens of decorative art of every description by the greatest masters, including Raphael, Giulio Romano, Holbein, Giotto, etc. The work has now become very scarce, and is in general request as the best book of classical ornament."

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"A series which has done, and is still doing, so much towards spreading among Englishmen intelligent and appreciative views of the chief classical authors."-Standard.

"It is difficult to estimate too highly the value of such a series as this in giving English readers' an insight exact as far as it goes, into those olden times which are so remote, and yet, to many of us, so close."-Saturday Review.

"These Ancient Classics have, without an exception, a two-fold value. They are rich in literary interest, and they are rich in social and historical interest. We not only have a faithful presentation of the stamp and quality of the literature which the master-minds of the classical world have bequeathed to the modern world, but we have a series of admirably vivid and graphic pictures of what life at Athens and Rome was. We are not merely taken back over a space of twenty centuries, and placed immediately under the shadow of the Acropolis, or in the very heart of the Forum, but we are at once brought behind the scenes of the old Roman and Athenian existence."-Morning Advertiser.

"In regard to the alterations made in this third edition, it will be noted that nearly 100 pages of new matter have been added. The original articles have been revised according to modern researches and views, so as to represent, as far as space would permit, the present state of knowledge. An important novelty in this edition consists in the accentuation of the names forming the headings of the articles. The plates have all been newly engraved upon copper, thus rendering the figures of the objects more sharply defined. Three new plates have been added, and several of the original plates have been rearranged and improved."-Preface.
