In purfuance of their Plan, and their Engage- ments to the Public, the following Authors will, without delay, be printed, besides Ovid, by Garth y now publishing, viz. Virgil and Juvenal by Dry den. Pindar . by West, and Lucan by Rczve. THE ABOVE, besides being distinctly a valuable Collection, will render more complete that justly esteemed Edition of THE BRITISH POETS, printed by Mr. Bell ; to which this Work may, with the strictest Propriety, be added and incorporated. Any possible Objection in regard to the Sets, or the Writings of any of the Authors, being already bound, can be immediately obviated. The Advantages of an early Purchase of valuable Prints, so necessary to be considered in Periodical Works, the Publishers beg leave to mention. MARTIN and BAIN, at their Shop, No. 184, near St. Dunstan’s Church, Fleet-Street, have now on Sale, Bell's British Poets, in Sets, and, with some Exceptions, the Authors separately; particularly the following; Pope’s Works (his own Writings) - 4 vols.
