centuries. Thus: Henri Goelzer, 'ifitude lexicographique et
grammaticale de la Latinite de Saint Jerome' (Paris, Hachette,
1884), and (a perfect model in its way) Max Bonnet, 'Le Latin
de Gregoire de Tours' (ibid. 1890). The Archiv fur lat.
Lexikographie, pubhshed since 1884 by Teubner, has, thanks to
the self-sacrifice of the pubhsher and the editor Ed. Wolfllin,
done a great work in surveying the whole field of Latin letters,
and training readers to gather in the whole mass of Latin words.
There too may be seen reviews of all new books and articles
bearing on the subject.
There is yet an opening for two lexicons, of moderate
compass, but of great value to critics, lexicographers and
grammarians.
(A) We possess two lexicons of terminations in Greek, but,
to my knowledge, none in Latin. [The want was supplied in
1904 by 0. Gradenwitz,. Later uli Vocum Latinarum: Voces
Latinas et a fronte et a tergo ordinandas curauit (Leipzig). A. S.]
I refer to: (I) 'Henrici Hoogeveen, opus postumum exhibens
dictionarium analogicum linguae graecae' (Cambr. typis acad.
1800. 4to), a book recommended by the late Dr Thompson;
and (II) ' Etymologisches Worterbuch der griechischen Sprache
zur Uebersicht der Wortbildimg nach den Endsylben geordnet
von Dr Wilhelm Pape' (Beri. 1836, 8vo).
(B) Faber and Gesner frequently record under one word
other words with which it is liable to be confounded by scribes;
they also cite lexicographical collections in commentaries and
journals. Whoever has traced with attention the course of
lexicography knows that almost every word well treated by any
lexicon owes its good fortune to some exhaustive note of N.
Heins, or J. F. Gronov, or Bentley cet. The indexes to such
books as Drakenborch's Livy and Duker's Floras wiU shew how
the thing should be doh.e. To go down the whole course of
classical learning, from such treasuries as Gruter's 'Fax
Artium,' to the 'aduersaria' of Madvig and the 'lectiones' of
Cobet, would be the making of any young scholar.
The most useful commentary, on the whole, is Oehler's.
Herauld also and Rigault should be read, and Dr Pusey. La
Cerda is copious in paraUels. Pamelius takes a polemical
