Harvard Studies in Classical Philology. Vol. I. (Ginn and Co.,
London and Boston, U.S.A..)—This volume is "edited by a Com- mittee of the Classical Instructors of Harvard University." 'These are both philological and antiquarian. Mr. J. B. Greenough, for instance, writes on "The Fences of the Latin House" (which he makes out to be the front passage into the central hall), and 11"Some Latin Etymologies" (provincia is attribute& to give an example, to a provincus, "one engaged. in advancing con- quest"). Professor Goodwin writes on various points of Greek grammar (the usages of ob seb and the constsuction of tIst and xpily with the infinitive). Mr. C. L. Smith conjectures, in the difficult Passage (Tacitus, "Ann.," iii., 70), where Capito is said to have incurred discredit "quad ogregium publicum et bones demi artes dehonestavisset," publics locum for pubticuna an ingenious antithesis to domi artes, but not one of the emenda- tions that take one by storm. A number of interesting facts are brought together by Mr. Herman W. Haley, in his paper on 'The Social and Domestio Position of Women in Aristophanes."
