Lectures and Essays. By H. Usener. [V and 259 pages] large 8vo. 1907. sewn 5 Marks, bound in cloth 6 Marks.

With Usener’s as-yet unpublished Shorter Writings, this volume compiles a selection of lectures and essays intended for a wide readership. They are meant to provide stimulation and instruction to those with an interest in historical science, and in particular to young philologists, by offering a picture of the height and breadth of the scientific goals of this great departed master and his philology. The content consists of the treatises: Philology and History; Mythology; Organization of Scientific Work; On Comparative History of Customs and Law; The Birth and Childhood of Christ; Pelagia, the Pearl (from the history of an image). Included as an appendix is the novella "The Flight from Woman," which connects naturally as an adaptation of a Syrian legend.

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

This compendium is a completely revised and significantly expanded edition of the author's Outlines of the History of Philology (5th ed., 1902). The main purpose of the book is to serve as a vade mecum handbook/guide for university lectures, yet it is no less recommended for self-study. In a narrow framework and clear form, the book provides, after introductory sections on the concept and division of philology as well as the various methods of treatment, an overview of the most significant representatives of classical studies and their works, along with rich but carefully vetted literature citations. The book addresses a real need, as a comprehensive depiction of the history of classical philology covering the entire field did not previously exist.

Outline of Greek Metrics. By Prof. Dr. P. Masqueray. Translated into German by Dr. Br. Preisler. [XII and 243 pages] 8vo. 1907. sewn 4.40 Marks, bound in cloth 5 Marks.

The present outline leads immediately in medias res into the heart of the matter and explains the meter and the construction of verses and strophes practically, using skillfully selected passages, progressing from the easier to the more difficult so that the beginner can work their way into this difficult area more easily. The necessary theoretical explanations are clear and understandable, with the author skillfully and carefully referring back to the theories of the ancients. Since the work provides outstanding factual brevity and clarity, it must appear all the more desirable to make this outline accessible to wider circles in the German language.

Vergil’s Epic Technique. By Rich. Heinze. [VIII and 487 pages] large 8vo. 2nd ed. 1907. sewn 12 Marks, bound in half-French 14 Marks.

The scientific controversies of recent times, which have surrounded Vergil and all that is connected with him, have also clearly taught that no task was more urgent than that which has been solved in this book. If the judgment of one of the world's literary greats has once again become wavering, these greats always prove that they stand astonishingly firmly on their feet. But so that the judgment does not fall, the conditions from which the work itself emerged—the personal, the national, those lying in the context of the intellectual movement—must be precisely examined. Then the richer means of the time will ground the understanding of the work more firmly than the admiration of earlier times. Scientific movement does not always show the book toward which it is tending; in this case, it has happened. . . . As far as I know the literature, this book is the best that has been written about Vergil. It also has general significance as an exemplary model of the analysis and scientific appreciation of a classical work of art.
