Notes

A rare survival, unopened in the original boards, of this textbook edition of the works of Herodotus printed by the Edinburgh university printer. The editor was George Dunbar (1777-1851), an industrious if not especially brilliant classical scholar who was appointed Andrew Dalzel's successor as professor of Greek at Edinburgh the same year this edition appeared.
