THE YEAR'S WORK IN CLASICAL STUDIES.
The Year's Work - in Classical ,Studies: Edited by W. H. D Rouse, Litt. D. (John Murray. 26. 6d. net.)—There are sixteen• chapters in this volume, each of which is an epitomised account of work, literary or other, often of great extent. The editor writes about classical school-books, and Mr. J. F. Dobson about classical literature in general, works of criticism, translations, &e. Dr. A. S. Hunt contributes a peculiarly interesting paper on his own special subject—papyri. The most important discovery of the year is the addition made to the known remains of Callimachus. Many non-literary doeuments of considerable interest have also been given to the world. Considerable progress has been made in the work of excavation at home. This is described in "Roman Britain" by Mr. F. A. Burton. The most important item is the work at Newstead, near Melrose. Other researches have been made in Greece and in Italy, described by Mr. R. M. Dawkins and Mr. T. Ashby respectively. (We may take this opportunity of apology for a lapses calami which in a notice of the work of the British School at Rome substituted " Athens " for the proper word.) We are obliged to pass over many interesting papers. We would urge the claims of the "Classical Association" on all who are interested in their studies. The annual subscription is five shillings.
