p. 137 note: (in the section "History of Rome")
"If minor editions of Livy be rather sought after, obtain the beautifully executed one of the late learned Mr. Homer, 1794, in eight octavo volumes; or the yet smaller one of Ruddiman, Edinb. 1751, 12 mo. four vols."
[same page, on Sallust]
"Among the smaller editions [of Sallust], that of Edinb. 1755, 12mo. has been long and highly prized; but of equal, if not higher, estimation, is that of Homer, 1789, 8vo.--now become a very scarce book.

[on Pliny the Younger's Epistles:]
"But for the summer [reading] alcove, let the late Mr. Homer's edition of the Epistles, 1790, 8vo. (so elegantly and so correctly put forth) find a ready admittance; and if bound in green morocco, so much the better."
