Chapter VII: HORACE. A NEW EDITION, beautifully printed, and illustrated by

Engravings of Coins, Gems, Bas-reliefs, Statues, &c., taken chiefly from the Antique. Edited, with a LIFE, BY Rev. H.H. MILMAN, Dean of St. Paul's. With 300 Vignettes. Crown 8vo.

"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._
