Bohn's Classical Library: A Complete Listing
- "Full Text" links are to the Hathi Trust, and are to online reproductions of the original Bohn publications.
- "Author/Title" searches include "bohn" as a keyword, attempt to exclude print-on-demand items, and filter by dates between 1840 and 1920.
- Remember that the best place to purchase (and the first place to look for) a used book is at your local used bookstore.
- The year of publication is usually simply the earliest I have found. The dates are NOT definitive.
- You may also be interested in Bohn's Antiquarian Library
