Excerpt from Horace, Odes and Epodes For. The text of this edition I have endeavored to make conscientious use of the available critical material. The notes owe much to the standard German commentators. Except in the rarest instances, 1 have consulted no Ameri can edition, valuable and important as some of these are. To the many kind friends who have helped me with their criticisms I here make my grateful acknowledgments.
