“In the advertising catalogues we sometimes see a book labelled as one ‘without which no gentleman’s library can be looked upon as complete.’ It may be said with truth that no popular library or mechanic’s institute will be properly furnished without this series.... These handy books to ancient classical literature are at the same time as attractive to the scholar as they ought to be to the English reader. We think, then, that they are destined to attain a wide and enduring circulation, and we are quite sure that they deserve it.”—Westminster Review.
“We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to recommend the other volumes of this useful series, most of which are executed with discrimination and ability.”—Quarterly Review.
“A series which has done, and is 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.
