Studies in Classical Philology. Vol. I. (University of Chicago Press.)—We

welcome the first volume of what will, we trust, be a prolonged and successful series. The first paper is a very laborious study, by W. Gardner Hall, on verb-moods, with the title of "The Anticipatory Subjunctive in Greek and Latin," and occupies about two-fifths of the whole. Philology proper is represented by an essay on the "Oscan-Umbrian Verb System" by Carl D. Buck; archwology by Mr. Edward Capps's " Vitruvius and the Greek Stage" and "The Direction of Writing on Attic Vases ;" and philosophy by "The Idea of Good in Plato's Republic" from the pen of Mr. Paul Shorey.
