The undermentioned volumes are already in progress, and are expected to appear during 1850-1:--
HERODOTUS, Three Volumes. ILIAD, One Volume. HORACE, Two Volumes. CICERO, Orations, Vol. I. PLATO, Dialogues, Vol. I. TACITUS, Vol. I.
Each work will be sold separately; but, as the Publishers expect that they will be enabled to extend the series until it shall approximate to a complete collection of the Greek and Latin Classics, and as they have reason to think that such a collection would be found an acceptable addition to all public and private Libraries, they hope to receive the names of persons who are willing to give encouragement to the scheme, as Subscribers to the entire Series.

THE JUDGES OF ENGLAND; from the time of the Conquest
"It supplies what was much wanted--a regular and progressive account of English legal institutions. The result is, a correction of many errors, an addition of much new information, and a better general view of our strictly legal history than any other jurist, historian, or biographer, had heretofore attempted to give."--_Examiner_

A CHROMO-LITHOGRAPHIC DRAWING OF THE PAINTED CEILING IN THE NAVE OF PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL, coloured as in the original, by G. STRICKLAND. This curious relic of Ecclesiastical Decoration of The Twelfth Century is considered to be the finest specimen of its character and period in Great Britain; it is in a high state of preservation and no representation of it exists.
