Lectures and Essays. By H. Usener. [5 and 280 pages] large 8vo. 1907. Paperbound 5 Marks, cloth-bound 6 Marks.

From the immensely rich scientific life's work of Usener, a selection of lectures and essays has been compiled here. It is intended for a wide, non-specialist circle of readers who possess understanding and interest in historical science. In particular, it aims to provide stimulation and instruction to young philologists, giving them a picture of the breadth and form of the scientific output of this great, intellectually powerful man and fine philologist. The content consists of the treatises: Philology and Historical Science, Mythology, Organization of Scientific Work, On Comparative History of Customs and Law, Birth and Childhood of Christ; Pelagia; The Pearl; Jean de Gascogne; a study. Appended to the end is the novella "The Flight from Women," which, as a fantasy-laden scientific legend, should remain unforgettable.

Outline of the History of Classical Philology. By Prof. Dr. A. Gudeman. [6 and 224 pages] large 8vo. 1907. Paperbound 4.80 Marks, cloth-bound 5.20 Marks.

This compendium is a completely revised and significantly expanded edition of the author's "Outlines of the History of Philology" (4th edition, 1902). The main purpose of the book is to serve as a guide for university lectures, yet it is equally recommended for self-study. In a compact framework and clear form, the book first gives an introductory treatise on the concept and history of philology as well as the various methods of treatment, then an overview of the most significant representatives of classical studies and their works, along with rich but carefully selected bibliographical references. The book represents a real step forward, as one does not yet possess a precise, critically examined account of the history of classical philology in German at all.

Outline of Greek Metrics. By Prof. Dr. A. Masqueray, in a German selection by Dr. Fr. Presler. [12 and 240 pages] large 8vo. 1907. Paperbound 4.40 Marks, cloth-bound 5 Marks.

The present work first places the type of verse and the structure of verse and stanza into a wide and increasingly precise historical perspective. By highlighting the latter as the focal point, the author seeks to capture all forms, even the most difficult, and to convey all necessary knowledge for metrics, while the author skillfully balances and refers back to all the theories of antiquity. The exemplary form and clarity that distinguish the work are, above all scientific results, destined to make metrics more accessible to larger circles.

Virgil's Epic Technique. By Rich. Heinze. [8 and 487 pages] large 8vo. 1903. Paperbound 12 Marks, half-calf 14 Marks.

Here, the well-known demand is realized that anyone who wishes to understand and judge the work of an artist must first endeavor to make their goal and their means clear. The present work now seeks to follow the spirit of Virgil, and what we owe to him in terms of internalized perception, in the details of his work. For this, the Aeneid is a task for the author that must be understood from the premises of its time. The success of the book shows how the author has solved his task. Its significance lies above all in the fact that philological interpretation happily unites literary-historical and aesthetic observation. The book is one of the few philological books whose reading immediately brings a gain for general education, as it sharpens the eye for the creation of poetic works, the material and formal analysis of which is handled here in an exemplary manner.
