_Pagine Sparse_, edited by G. Castellano, Naples, 1919-1920. ("Scattered Pages," consisting of _Pagine di letteratura e di cultura_, 2 vols.; _Pagine sulla guerra_; and _Memorie, scritti biografici e appunti storici_.) A complete bibliography, cataloguing the whole of Croce's multifarious activity, is outside the scope of this note. The nearest approach to it can be found in G. Castellano's _Introduzione alle opere di B. Croce_, Bari, 1920, which contains, besides, a full list of translations in eight languages, a bibliography of the Italian and foreign critical literature on Croce, and a very useful series of abstracts of discussions and judgments on Croce's work. Besides articles and essays in American and English magazines and reviews, the following works of Croce have been translated into English: the four volumes of the _Filosofia dello Spirito_, the essay on Hegel, the _Essence of Æsthetics_, and the essays on _Ariosto, Shakespeare, and Corneille_, by Douglas Ainslie; the essay on Vico, by R. G. Collingwood, and the essays on Historical Materialism, by C. M. Meredith. But the English or American student of Croce ought to rely as little as possible on translations; the reading of the Italian text will be found comparatively easy, on the basis of a good acquaintance with Latin or with French. The labour entailed by the surmounting of the first difficulties will be largely repaid by the advantages gained in coming into direct contact with Croce's thought, and by the acquisition of at least a reading knowledge of Italian. For the vast critical literature on Croce, scattered through the literary and philosophical reviews of Europe and of America during the last twenty years, we are compelled again to refer the reader to Castellano's book. We shall only mark out Croce's own autobiographical notes, the Contributo listed above, which, however, having been printed for private circulation only, is not generally accessible except in the French translation printed in the _Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale_, XXVI, pp. 1-40. The following are the only books which give a general view of Croce's thought: G. Prezzolini, _Benedetto Croce_, Naples, 1909; E. Chiocchetti, _La filosofia di B. Croce_, Florence, 1915; H. Wildon Carr, _The Philosophy of B. Croce_, London, 1917. The first is an able, but very cursory sketch; the second examines Croce's philosophy from the standpoint of neoscholasticism; the third is an ample summary written by a distinguished writer well acquainted with the various currents of modern thought. Each of them ought to be read with a critical and discriminating eye.
