they illustrate, but the engravings were tipped into the folio
with blank versos, a method too costly, producing volumes too
bulky, for us to follow. We have accordingly printed the illus-
trations on the recto or verso of a page of our text and as a result
have sometimes had to make them precede or follow instead of
face the text illustrated. Including all the illustrations in afford-
able books has also meant that these volumes have been printed
from reproduction proof by offset lithography, although the text
was first composed in Linotype Baskerville on hot-metal, line-
casting equipment in order to preserve a uniformity of type-face
with other volumes in the edition.
Rather than make each volume a discrete unit with its own
text and apparatus, as is customary in this edition, we decided
the folio's quality was best preserved by treating our volumes as
a single unit with continuous pagination, starting the text in
Volume V, completing it in Volume VI, and assigning all of our
apparatus to the concluding pages of Volume VI. Had we fol-
lowed our customary format, we would necessarily have inter-
rupted a properly continuous text with part of our apparatus
and added the remaining apparatus after the text was completed.
To balance the volumes, we would also have been forced to di-
vide the text of Dry den's Aeneis between them, breaking it, prob-
ably, after Book II. The method we have adopted still necessi-
tates dividing the text of the Aeneis between the volumes, but
we are now able to divide it at the most natural break in the
A e n e i d j after Book VI. As a further compensation for dividing
the text in this way, we have been able to add one appropriate
illustration to the 103 found in the folio and have used as frontis-
piece for our Volume VI a facsimile of Dryden's draft advertise-
ment for second subscribers to his Virgil. By his contract with
Tonson, Dry den could not advertise for second subscriptions
until he had translated the Eclogues, Georgics, and first six books
of the Aeneid.
We already know from an informal canvas that not everyone
will endorse our departure from the format customary in this
edition, although many will. We hope, though, that those who
prefer uniformity will understand our reasons for wishing to
accommodate our edition to the folio and the folio to our edition.
