Q. Horati Flacci Opera. Edited by T. E. Page, M.A.,
formerly Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, Assistant-Master at Charterhouse. (Macmillan and Co.) —The edition of Horace issued as a volume of "The Parnassus Library of Greek and Latin Texts," is as charming as contents, printing, and binding can make it. A commendably brief introduction by Mr. T. E. Page gives just such an account of the poet's life, character, and work as we should have expected from that graceful and appre- ciative Horatian scholar. A few footnotes give variant readings, but otherwise there is no tiresome criticism and explanation to distract the attention. Those who have loved Horace and for- gotten him, will be well advised to renew their friendship with him in the pages of this dainty little volume, while those who cherish him as a daily companion will find what is at once portable in a fairly capacious pocket and an ornament to the library table.
