ARABIC AND SANSKRIT.

POEMS OF BEHA ED DÍN ZOHEIR OF EGYPT. With a Metrical Translation, Notes and Introduction, by E. H. PALMER, M.A., Barrister-at-Law of the Middle Temple, Lord Almoner's Professor of Arabic and Fellow of St John's College in the University of Cambridge. 3 vols. Crown Quarto.

Ios. 6d.; Cloth extra, 15s.

Vol. I. The ARABIC TEXT.
Vol. II. ENGLISH TRANSLATION.

"Professor Palmer's activity in advancing Arabic scholarship has formerly shown itself in the production of his excellent Arabic Grammar, and his Descriptive Catalogue of Arabic MSS. in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge. He has now produced an admirable text, which illustrates in a remarkable manner the flexibility and graces of the language he loves so well, and of which he seems to be perfect master.... The Syndicate of Cambridge University must not pass without the recognition of their liberality in bringing out, in a worthy form, so important an Arabic text. It is not the first time that Oriental scholarship has thus been wisely subsidised by Cambridge."-Indian Mail.

"It is impossible to quote this edition without an expression of admiration for the perfection to which Arabic typography has been brought in England in this magnificent Oriental work, the production of which redounds to the imperishable credit of the University of Cambridge. It may be pronounced one of the most beautiful Oriental books that have ever been printed in Europe: and the learning of the Editor worthily rivals the technical get-up of the creations of the soul of one of the most tasteful poets of Islâm, the study of which will contribute not a little to save honour of the poetry of the Arabs."MYTHOLOGY AMONG THE HEBREWS (Engl. Transl.), p. 194.

metre, for imitation, either designed or un-
conscious, of the style of several of our own
poets, these versions deserve high praise.
We have no hesitation in saying that in both
Prof. Palmer has made an addition to Ori-
ental literature for which scholars should be
grateful; and that, while his knowledge of
Arabic is a sufficient guarantee for his mas-
tery of the original, his English compositions
are distinguished by versatility, command of
language, rhythmical cadence, and, as we
have remarked, by not unskilful imitations of
the styles of several of our own favourite
poets, living and dead."-Saturday Review.

"This sumptuous edition of the poems of
Behá-ed-dín Zoheir is a very welcome addi-
tion to the small series of Eastern poets
accessible to readers who are not Oriental-
ists. ...
In all there is that exquisite finish of
which Arabic poetry is susceptible in so rare
a degree. The form is almost always beau-
tiful, be the thought what it may.
But this,
of course, can only be fully appreciated by
Orientalists. And this brings us to the trans-
lation. It is excellently well done. Mr
Palmer has tried to imitate the fall of the
original in his selection of the English metre
for the various pieces, and thus contrives to
convey a faint idea of the graceful flow of
the Arabic. Altogether the inside of the
book is worthy of the beautiful arabesque
binding that rejoices the eye of the lover of
Arab art."-Academy.

THE AGAMEMNON OF AESCHYLUS.

With a Translation in English Rhythm, and Notes Critical and Explanatory. By BENJAMIN HALL KENNEDY, D.D., Regius Professor of Greek. Crown Octavo, cloth. 6s.

"One of the best editions of the masterpiece of Greek tragedy."-Athenæum.

"By numberless other like happy and weighty helps to a coherent and consistent text and interpretation, Dr Kennedy has approved himself a guide to Aeschylus of certainly peerless calibre."-Contemp. Rev.

"It is needless to multiply proofs of the value of this volume alike to the poetical translator, the critical scholar, and the ethical student. We must be contented to thank Professor Kennedy for his admirable execu

tion of a great undertaking."-Sat. Rev.

"Let me say that I think it a most admirable piece of the highest criticism. I like your Preface extremely; it is just to the point."-Professor PALEY.

"Professor Kennedy has conferred a boon on all teachers of the Greek classics, by causing the substance of his lectures at Cambridge on the Agamemnon of Eschylus to be published... This edition of the Agamemnon is one which no classical master should be without."-Examiner.

PRIVATE ORATIONS OF DEMOSTHENES,

with Introductions and English Notes, by F. A. PALEY, M.A. Editor of Aeschylus, etc. and J. E. SANDYS, M.A. Fellow and Tutor of St John's College, and Public Orator in the University of Cambridge.

PART I. Contra Phormionem, Lacritum, Pantaenetum, Boeotum de Nomine, Boeotum de Dote, Dionysodorum. Crown Octavo, cloth. 6s.

"Mr Paley's scholarship is sound and accurate, his experience of editing wide, and if he is content to devote his learning and abilities to the production of such manuals as these, they will be received with gratitude throughout the higher schools of the country. Mr Sandys is deeply read in the German

literature which bears upon his author, and the elucidation of matters of daily life, in the delineation of which Demosthenes is so rich, obtains full justice at his hands. . . . . We hope this edition may lead the way to a more general study of these speeches in schools than has hitherto been possible.-Academy.

OLYMPIAN AND PYTHIAN ODES. With Notes Explanatory and Critical, Introductions and Introductory Essays. C. A. M. FENNELL, M.A., late Fellow of Jesus College. tavo, cloth. 9s.

"Mr Fennell deserves the thanks of all classical students for his careful and scholarly edition of the Olympian and Pythian odes. He brings to his task the necessary enthusiasm for his author, great industry, a sound judgment, and, in particular, copious and minute learning in comparative philology. To his qualifications in this last respect every page bears witness."-Athenæum.

"Considered simply as a contribution to the study and criticism of Pindar, Mr Fennell's edition is a work of great merit. But it has a wider interest, as exemplifying the change which has come over the methods and aims of Cambridge scholarship within the last ten or twelve years. . . . The short introductions and arguments to the Odes, which for so discursive an author as Pindar are all but a necessity, are both careful and acute... Altogether, this edition is a welcome and wholesome sign of the vitality and de

velopment of Cambridge scholarship, and we are glad to see that it is to be continued.”— Saturday Review.

"There are many reasons why Mr C. A. M. Fennell's edition of 'Pindar's Olympian and Pythian Odes;' should not go unnoticed, even though our space forbids doing it full justice; as a helpful complement and often corrective of preceding editions, both in its insight into comparative philology, its critical acumen, and its general sobriety of editing. In etymology especially the volume marks a generation later than Donaldson's, though holding in respect his brilliant authority. Most helpful, too, is the introductory essay on Pindar's style and dialect, while the chronological sequence of the Odes (pp. xxxi.-xxxii.), and the 'Metrical Schemes,' which immediately precede the text and commentary, leave nothing to be desiderated."Contemporary Review.

PLATO'S PHÆDO,

literally translated, by the late E. M. COPE, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Demy Octavo. 55.

ARISTOTLE.

THE RHETORIC. With a Commentary by the late E. M. COPE, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, revised and edited by J. E. SANDYS, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of St John's College, Cambridge, and Public Orator. With a biographical Memoir by H. A. J. MUNRO, M.A. Three Volumes, Demy Octavo. £1. 11s. 6d.

"This work is in many ways creditable to the University of Cambridge. The solid and extensive erudition of Mr Cope himself bears none the less speaking evidence to the value of the tradition which he continued, if it is not equally accompanied by those qualities of speculative originality and independent judgment which belong more to the individual writer than to his school. And while it must ever be regretted that a work so laborious should not have received the last touches of its author, the warmest admiration is due to Mr Sandys, for the manly, unselfish, and unflinching spirit in which he has performed his most difficult and delicate task. If an English student wishes to have a full conception of what is contained in the Rhetoric of Aristotle, to Mr Cope's edition he must go."Academy.

"Mr Sandys has performed his arduous duties with marked ability and admirable tact. ...Besides the revision of Mr Cope's material already referred to in his own words, Mr Sandys has thrown in many useful notes; none more useful than those that bring the Commentary up to the latest scholarship by reference to important works that have appeared since Mr Cope's illness put a period to his labours. When the original Commentary stops abruptly three chapters before the end of the third book, Mr Sandys

carefully supplies the deficiency, following Mr Cope's general plan and the slightest available indications of his intended treatment. In Appendices he has reprinted from classical journals several articles of Mr Cope's; and, what is better, he has given the best of the late Mr Shilleto's 'Adversaria,' In every part of his work-revising, supplementing, and completing-he has done exceedingly well."-Examiner.

"A careful examination of the work shows that the high expectations of classical students will not be disappointed. Mr Cope's 'wide and minute acquaintance with all the Aristotelian writings,' to which Mr Sandys justly bears testimony, his thorough knowledge of the important contributions of modern German scholars, his ripe and accurate scholarship, and above all, that sound judgment and never-failing good sense which are the crowning merit of our best English editions of the Classics, all combine to make this one of the most valuable additions to the knowledge of Greek literature which we have had for many years."-Spectator.

Head Master of Ipswich School, late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Classical Examiner to the University of London. Third Edition. Revised and considerably enlarged.

Crown Octavo. 9s.

"Dr Holden truly states that 'Text, Analysis, and Commentary in this third edi tion have been again subjected to a thorough revision.' It is now certainly the best edition extant. A sufficient apparatus of various readings is placed under the text, and a very careful summary in the margin. The Introduction (after Heine) and notes leave nothing to be desired in point of fulness, accuracy, and neatness; the typographical execution will satisfy the most fastidious eye. A careful

index of twenty-four pages makes it easy to use the book as a storehouse of information on points of grammar, history, and philosophy. This edition of the Offices, Mr Reid's Academics, Lælius, and Cato, with the forthcoming editions of the De Finibus and the De Natura Deorum will do much to maintain the study of Cicero's philosophy in Roger Ascham's university."— Notes and Queries.
