Elegant sentences have been added sparingly from the ancient poets but selected by a more severe judgment, with shorter sentences or proverbs from the Greek and Latin authors. To which in this fourth edition is added another selected specimen, omitted by the electors from among the most recent poets. There is one plate depicting a coat of arms.
