(at v. 1, p. 364):
Homeri. Londini. 1790. 8vo. 2 vols.
The first volume comprehends the books of the Gallic war, to which are added a geographical nomenclator, the French notes of Scaliger. Clarke's index of countries and towns, the fragments of Caesar, and the commentary of Dodwell concerning the author of the Supplement, together with geographical tables. The second volume contains the remaining works usually attributed to Caesar, to which are added a geographical table of ancient Spain, and an "Index Rerum." This edition, which is very beautifully printed, and of which there are some sumptuous copies on ⁄⁄[small caps] large paper⁄⁄, is deserving of a place in the student's library, from its extreme correctness.
(at v. 2, p. 172)
Homeri. Londini. 1794. 8vo. 8 vols.
From Drakenborch's edition, composed by the late Rev. Henry Homer. It is one of the most correct and beautiful octavo editions of a Roman classic that has ever been published; containing the text without notes, and a very copious and useful index. Some copies are struck off on ⁄⁄[small caps] large paper⁄⁄, and bring a considerable price. The index is singularly valuable.
(at v.2, p.333 [citing the later Payne issue])
Payne. Lond. 1790. 8vo.
Edited by the late Rev. Henry Homer. This is one of the most beautiful and correct editions of the text of Pliny that has ever appeared. Those who have neither the opportunity nor means of purchasing preceding editions, unaccompanied by notes, may rest contented with with this truly elegant pocket volume in which the accuracy of the text, and beauty of the typography, reflect great credit on both editor and printer. It is published by Mr. Payne the bookseller; whose name only appears in the title-page. All the works edited by Mr. Homer are without his name.
Quintus Curtius {No reference}
at v.2, p.388
Homeri. Lond. 8vo. 1789.
A beautiful and correct book, edited by the late Rev. Henry Homer. The text is given with the same purity as are those of Caesar, Livy, and Pliny, by the same excellent scholar. It contains an index of the various readings according to Havercamp's edition. "This edition," says a learned correspondent, "is absolutely immaculate; so are all Homer's edition; the accuracy of the editor was wonderful. The Sallust is extremely scarce; and the other editions, when better known, will rise in price."
(at v.2, p.458)
Homeri. Lond. 1790. 8vo. 4 vols.
A very beautiful and correct edition, forming a conspicuous figure in the list of classics published by the above excellent scholar, the late Henry Homer: it exhibits the pure text of the authors, and is accompanied with a copious and valuable index. Some copies are struck off on ⁄⁄[small caps] large paper⁄⁄, and bring a considerable price. It is a work as yet little known in Germany or France.]
