Please name the Volumes required Macmillan's Elementary Classics GREEK A new feature has been added to Messrs. Macmillan's widely circulated series of Elementary Classics. Those authors, or selected parts of authors, which are most commonly read in schools are being gradually issued with illustrations arranged under the direction of an expert. These illustrations show the dress, furniture, arms, equipment, etc., employed by Greeks and Romans, and are either put together from trustworthy data or are direct reproductions of antique statues or designs. In many cases the plates are coloured. No addition is made to the price of the books thus provided with pictures which should at once interest and assist the pupil. The first volumes issued with the new illustrations will be Cæsar, Books V. and VI., and "Invasion of Britain," Horace-Odes, Books I. and IV. Others will follow in rapid succession until all the volumes selected from Cæsar, Horace, Virgil, Homer, and Xenophon are available in this form.
