Messrs. Tyrrell and Parser's edition of The Correspondence of Cicero

(Hodges and Figgie, Dublin) has been completed by the appearance of Vol. VII., containing an Index (7s. 6d.) We have more than once taken an opportunity of expressing a high opinion of this work, which is certainly one of the most distinguished products of British scholarship. We may now say that the index, in point of arrangement and completeness, is worthy of the edition. It conveniently combines the index nominwa, the index rerum, and the index verborurn. A brief account of every proper name occurring in the Letters is given, while the words are treated in such a way that we have what is practically, though necessarily on a small scale, a Lexicon Ciceronianum. We con- gratulate the editors on the successful accomplishment of a very valuable work.
