Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Books I-Vi: With an Introduction and Notes This edition of a part of the Iliad differs from any other which has hitherto appeared in our country, in the amount and variety of the introductory matter which immediately precedes the text; and a few words may seem called for, explaining why this matter has been introduced, and suggesting how it may be most profitably used.

A sufficient account of Homeric criticism is also given to ena ble the reader to enter intelligently into the discussion which is wont to arise among educated men when the name Ho mer is mentioned.
