Author Description

Excerpt from Manual of Classical Literature: From the German of J. J. Eschenburg, Professor in the Carolinum at Brunswick Since the last edition of this Manual, there have appeared some performances of a similar kind, in which I thankfully find evidence of the utility of my own work, and am ready to acknowledge their excellence in some particulars. These works might render a new impression of mine superuous; but the very frequent call for the Manual, the urgent request of the booksellers, and the apprehension Of a second counterfeit emission of the work, have persuaded me to prepare this fifth edition. In the emendations and improvements, I have been guided by the same considerations which controlled me in the preceding editions. In the additions in the part treating of the classic authors, I have received very friendly assistance from Professor Sar pier, of this place.
