This edition is an abridgment of the three volumes devoted to Horace in Macmillan's Classical Series, and owes its origin to representations made by many schoolmasters to the publishers as to the need existing for an edition of Horace with notes in a single volume. In the execution of my task I have been guided by the experience derived from actual use of the separate editions in form, and my aim has been simply to cut out such portions of the notes as seemed least important for young students, leaving the remainder, as far as possible, unaltered. The work has not been altogether easy or congenial. The charm of a note often lies in that part which is least strictly relevant, and comment is often most interest ing when most discursive, nor is it a simple process to curtail without destroying, and to be brief without becoming obscure. On the other hand there can be no question as to the convenience of having an author complete between two covers, and for most boys notes, in order to be used, must be moderate in length. In the present instance there are slightly more than two pages of notes to one of text, and, perhaps, in the case of a writer like Horace that represents an almost irreducible minimum of comment, unless it is held desirable to abbreviate notes into mere dogmatic statements specially designed for use in the examination-room.
My most hearty thanks are due to Professors A. Palmer and A S. Wilkins who with rare generosity placed their editions at my disposal. As far as could be I have treated them tenderly, and it was only after practising with the pruning knife on my own productions that I began to deal with theirs. At any rate I have endeavoured not to misrepresent them or obtrude my views on theirs, and in the few instances where some modifications have been necessary they have been either indicated or are unimportant. Lastly I owe a large debt to the printers and their excellent Readers for their constant skill and care, which only those who have had to pass a book of this nature through the press can fully appreciate.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
