.......

Crown 8vo. cloth, 58. "Our youthful classical scholars are highly favoured in being provided with an Edition of Sallust from so accomplished an Editor as Mr. Merivale... The annotations of an Editor possessing such rare qualifications for the successful discharge of his duties could not but be-as we find them-very valuable, whether we consider the grammatical and historical information which they convey, or the illustrative quotations and references with which they abound. Other primal excellencies in them are, their transparent simplicity and their comparative brevity. . . . excellent account of Sallust and his works will be found in the Introduction."-ATHENEUM, March 12, 1853.

.An

"This School Edition of Sallust is precisely what the School Edition of a Latin Author ought to be. No useless words are spent in it, and no words that could be of use are spared. The text has been carefully collated with the best Editions. It is printed in a large bold type, which manifests a just regard for the young eyes that are to work upon it: under the text there flows through every page a full current of extremely well selected annotations."

THE EXAMINER. "An excellent edition. The English Notes, which are abundant, are clear and very helpful."-GUARDIAN, Oct. 6, 1852. "A very good edition; to which the Editor has not only brought scholarship, but independent judgment and historical criticism.'
