EPUB

The inscriptions in this part of his collection are from several of the islands of the Ægean.

Ulrici, Dr. H.: Geschichte der Hellenischen Dichtkunst. (History of Greek Poetry.) 2 vols. In addition to great clearness of arrangement, and an admirable method of citing authorities, this work has the merit of being very readable. In each of these points it is very superior to the similar work by Bode.

The excellent Classical Dictionary (Real-Encyclopädie der Classischen Alterthumswissenschaft), which has been publishing for the last five or six years, under the editorship of Professor Pauly, and which has advanced to the end of the letter I, has lately passed, by the death of the editor, into the hands of Professors Walz and Teuffel.

Bernhardy: Grundriss der Griechischen Literatur mit einem vergleichenden Ueberblick der Römischen. (General view of Greek Literature, with a comparative survey of that of Rome.) 2 vols. The first volume of this work, which was published in 1836, contains an outline of the whole subject, down to the fall of the Eastern empire. The second, which has just appeared, contains the history of Greek poetry. We are informed that one of the first scholars in Germany, who is himself distinguished for his works on Greek literature, characterizes this volume as the best that has been yet written on the subject.

Becker's Handbuch der Römischen Alterthümer, which we noticed in our first part, has provoked a fierce literary conflict between the author and Professor Urlichs, of Bonn. The controversy arises out of the differences of opinion between Dr. Becker on the one hand, and the Chevalier Bunsen and Professor Urlichs on the other, upon the subject of Roman topography. Besides the pamphlets on both sides published in Germany, there is an article on the subject by Urlichs in the July number of the Classical Museum.' Professor Urlichs has also published, in conjunction with Dr. Platner, an abridgment of the 'Beschreiburg der Stadt Rom,' under the title of 'Beschreibung Roms.'

Kayser, W. C.: Historia Critica Tragicorum Græcorum.

Schömann, G. F.: Des Eschylos Eumeniden. Deutsch mit Einleitung und Anmerkungen. This is the second of the tragedies of Eschylus which Schömann has translated. The first was the Prometheus. His notes are very valuable.

Žumpt, A. W.: de M. T. Ciceronis ad M. Brutum et Bruti ad Ciceronem Epistolis quæ vulgo feruntur.

A. de Jongh: Pindarica.

7. General Literature.

Poésies de V. Hugo, de Lamartine, de Delavigne, et de Béranger. Anthologie dédiée à la Jeunesse, par Ch. Graeser.

Alex. Dumas: Vingt ans après: Suite des Trois Mousquetaires. France possesses no livelier or more agreeable writer than Alexander Dumas. The present work is a sequel to his tale of 'The Three Musketeers.'

Bibliothèque Française. Under this title the Messrs. Didot are publishing a collection of the classical French authors, in a cheap and elegant form. The series includes the works of Barthélémy, Beaumarchais, Boileau, Bossuet, Bourdaloue, Chateaubriand, Corneille, Courier, Delille, Fénélon, La Fontaine, La Harpe, Le Sage, Massillon, Molière, Montaigne, Montesquieu; Pascal, and the other French moralists; the Minor Poets; Racine, Madame de Stael, Madame de Sévigné; the early French dramatists; Voltaire and Volney.

8. Fine Arts.

Retzsch: Gallerie zu Shakespear, Part 8. König Heinrich IV. mit Erläut. von H. Ulrici. The justly-earned fame of Retzsch makes it superfluous to say anything in his praise. His Outlines to Schiller, Göthe, and Bürger are all but perfect, and so are some of his Outlines to Shakspeare, those to Macbeth for instance. If, in some points, he falls below himself, it is in personifying characters which, since the revival of the love of Shakspeare, we have been accustomed to flatter ourselves that none but an Englishman can fully understand. Thus Retzsch's Falstaff, in the Merry Wives of Windsor, was, to speak plainly, a failure. We have not yet seen the illustrations to Henry IV., but we trust that the Falstaff of that play has given our artist a new inspiration. The text, by Ulrici, which accompanies Retzsch's Outlines, is a valuable æsthetic commentary on our great poet.

Panofka Griechen und Griechinnen. Bilder Antiquen Lebens. In these two works the persons and life of the Greeks are admirably depicted, from existing monuments.

9. Obituary.

We ought to have mentioned earlier the death of the celebrated geologist, naturalist, and Alpine explorer, de Saussure, which took place in April, at Geneva, where he was born on the 14th of October, 1767. The museum collected by him is one of the most interesting objects at Geneva.

On the 5th of May, at Wernsdorf, in Saxony, the pastor, F. C. Gelpke, who is known to biblical scholars as the author of the best defence of the Pauline origin of the Epistle to the Hebrews. The title of the work is Vindicia originis Paulinæ ad Hebræos Epistolæ nova ratione tentatæ.'

On the 11th of May, at Meissen, the celebrated scholar, BaumgartenCrusius.

On the 21st of April, at Paris, Dr. J. F. Gail, a distinguished philologer.
