ANCIENT CLASSICS FOR ENGLISH READERS.

IX.-CICERO.
BY THE EDITOR.

"No charm of style, no facility and eloquence of illustration, is wanting to enable us to see the great Roman advocate, statesman, and orator, in the days of Rome's grandeur, in the time of her first fatal hastening to her decadence, with whom fell her liberty two thousand years ago. The first lines of introduction to this fascinating book are full of help and light to the student of the classical times who has not mastered the classical literature, and in whose interests this book is done, simply to perfection."-Saunders' News-Letter.

X.-SOPHOCLES.

By CLIFTON W. COLLINS, M.A.

"Sophocles has now been added to the acceptable and singularly equal series of Ancient Classics for English Readers.' Mr Collins shows great skill and judgment in analysing and discriminating the plays of the sweet singer of Colonus."-Guardian.

XI.-PLINY'S

LETTERS.

By the Rev. ALFRED CHURCH, M.A.,

AND

The Rev. W. J. BRODRIBB, M.A.

This is one of the best volumes of the series called 'Ancient Classics for English Readers.' This graceful little volume will introduce Pliny to many who have hitherto known nothing of the Silver Age.”Athenæum.

"Mr Lucas Collins's very useful and popular series has afforded a fit opportunity for a sketch of the life and writings of the younger Pliny ; and the writers of the volume before us have contrived, out of their intimate and complete familiarity with their subject, to place the man, his traits of character, his friends, and his surroundings so vividly before us, that a hitherto shadowy acquaintance becomes a distinct and real personage."-Saturday Review.
