Excerpt from Q. Horatii Flacci Carminum, Vol. 4: Epodon Liber Tan present volume differs from the edition of 1883 in several respects. In the first place it seemed no longer necessary to reprint the original 'introduction, ' which referred chiefly to the principles on which the notes were written, and a brief ao count of Horace has been inserted in its place together with some remarks on the Metres used in the Odes. Secondly an obvious deficiency has been supplied by the inclusion of the Epodes (with the exception of three), and, lastly, throughout the notes corrections have been from time to time made in accordance with suggestions which I have most gratefully received from many scholars, and also with the aid of much recent literature on the subject, among which the fourth edition of Orelli by Hirschfelder and the excellent work of Kiesslin g deserve especial note.
