Harvard Studies in Classical Philology. Vol. VII. (E. Arnold.) —This
is a more than usually interesting volume. Mr. Louis Dyer disposes of the somewhat prosaic objections which have been made to the plot of the Agamemnon, in which certainly the unity of time is observed with no small disregard of possibilities. There are two interesting essays on points of Roman history,— Cicero's journey into exile (in which several suggestions are made as in the chronological order of the letters), and the notable person- ality of the Stoic philosopher Musonius by Mr. Charles P. Parker. The notes on Lucretius by Mr. W. Everett, and on Persius by Mr. Morris H. Morgan, will be found to repay study. The volume is dedicated to Emeritus Professor George Martin Lane on the occa- sion of the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation. The dedicatory epigram has, we see, in its third line, " Semina sparsit." Surely it is not of the best Latinity to have the "a" short before " sp."
