The late Dr. Wagner's useful abridgment of Professor Coning- totes

.,Eneid of Virgil (Deighton, Bell, and Co. ; G. Bell and Sons) appears in separate volumes, or, if it be preferred, in volumes containing two books each. After all that has been done for Virgil, there is nothing, so far as we know, that supersedes the work of Conington. No English scholar studied him more lovingly and understood him more thoroughly. When the original is not avail- able, this abridgment, itself by an "eminent hand," may be recommended without hesitation.
