Excerpt from Select Popular Orations of Demosthenes: With Notes and a Chronological Table
The Notes are brief and appropriate, always in good taste, and wholly free from pedantry. The execution of the work is, in all respects, entitled to the highest praise. Its typography is rich and beautiful; and, so far as we have examined, we have found it executed with great accuracy. We have no hesitation in saying that this edition of the Iliad is as credita ble to the American Press as to the taste and learning of its editor.' - North American Review.
We have examined this volume with great satisfaction. The beauty of the print, and the extreme accuracy which prevails throughout, are highly creditable both to the editor and to the accomplished scholar who is at the head of the University Press. The book would adorn any library.' - Ameri can Quarterly Review.
We very much question whether, with all our preeminence above the Americans in the elegances of life, we could produce a school-book that should, by its beauty, vie in any degree with the homer of Professor Fel ton.' - London Examiner, 1843.
