PREFACE
Bv the assistance of Messrs. G. Bell & Sons the
Editors are enabled to include in the Library the
famous version of Aristophanes made by Dr. Rogers.
His complete edition with its full Introductions,
Notes, and Appendices, will remain indispensable
to large libraries and scholars, but it is hoped that
the present edition will make his work moreaccess-
ible to the general reader.
Introductions and explanatory notes have been
added by the Editors. These for the most part
contain only information which can readily be found
elsewhere, but in cases where it seemed wise to give
Dr. Rogers' exact view of a passage, short extracts
from his notes are given in his own words.
