Book Description

Excerpt from P. Ovidii Nasonis, Metamorphoseon XIII., XIV: The Metamorphoses of Ovid Books XIII. And XIV I have great personal obligations to acknowledge. My head-master, Mr. H. W. Eve, very kindly read the proof of the notes to Book XIII. And part of Book XIV., and supplied me with very numerous suggestions and corrections, of which I gratefully availed myself. When the notes to Book XIII. Were nearly all printed, while those on Book XIV. Were yet unwritten, Mr. Robinson Ellis, with a generosity for which I cannot sufficiently thank him, oiiered me through the publishers the use of a quantity of ms. Notes, chiefly critical and on Book XIV. To this he added the further kindness of reading the remainder of the proof-sheets. I feel that this part of the book has been greatly improved by his revision. Any merits my notes possess are very largely due to the criticism of which I have throughout had the advantage.
