MILMAN’S LIFE AND WORKS OF HORACE

Now ready, 1 vol. (700 pp.) crown 8vo. 42s.

HORACE:  A NEW EDITION OF THE TEXT, Beautifully printed, and illustrated by upwards of 300 vignettes of Coins, Gems, Bas-reliefs, Statues, Views, &c., taken chiefly from the Antique.  With a LIFE, by Rev. H.H.  MILMAN, Dean of St. Paul’s.

“Not a page can be opened where the eye does not light upon some antique gem.  Mythology, history, art, manners, topography, have all their fitting representatives.  It is the highest praise to say, that the designs throughout add to the pleasure with which Horace is read.  Many of them carry us back to the very portraitures from which the old poets drew their inspirations.”—­Classical Museum.

For the convenience of Purchasers, the Work is arranged so as to be bound in Two Volumes, for which proper Titles are given.

JOHN MURRAY, Albermarle Street.
