BIBLIOGRAPHY. So far as the writers know, no one has before this concerned himself with a systematic compilation of a bibliography of this kind. The late Herman Rosenthal, Director of the Slavonic Department of the New York Public Library, is said to have been at work on a Slavic bibliography; but his literary executors have not yet published it. Dr. A. Sum, member of the English Club in Prague, has taken more than a passing interest in English Bohemica. The late Jeffrey D. Hrbek, an exceptionally gifted young man (see his biography published posthumously), prepared for the _Osvěta Americká_ (1908) what was then considered to be a fairly exhaustive bibliography. The list mentions ninety volumes, many of them containing but remote and irrelevant allusions to Bohemia. The bibliography appended to Miss Balch’s _Our Slavic Fellow Citizens_ is quite considerable; however, this work treats not of Bohemians alone, but of all the Slavs, and, when the process of elimination is applied, it will be seen that the purely Bohemian share of reference books is small. Then there is Leonard C. Wharton’s list, printed in the _Guide to the Kingdom of Bohemia_; this takes notice of thirty-five items. As regards the Hus and the Moravian Church literatures, Wm. Gunn Malin’s catalogue is, without doubt, the richest and the most valuable of all. BIOGRAPHY. Biographical material in the several encyclopædias is meagre and perfunctory and what there is of it has been chiefly extracted from German lexicons. Count Lützow edited items on Bohemia for the _Encyclopædia Britannica_. J. J. Král has written for _Johnson’s Universal Cyclopædia_ short biographical sketches of several authors--Jungmann, Kollár, Němcová, Neruda and the Jirečeks among them. The _Biographical Dictionary of the Library of the World’s Best Literature_ contains the lives of some two dozen men of letters. Injudiciously the editor of the _Biographical Dictionary_ has included among Bohemian (Čech) writers Charles Sealsfield (pseudonym of Karl Anton Postl, by some written Postel) and Fritz Mauthner. While it is true that the first named was born in Moravia and the other in Bohemia, both Sealsfield and Mauthner were, as a matter of fact, Germans. P. Selver in his _Anthology of Modern Bohemian Poetry_ gives, besides specimens of their verse, an illuminating account of the lives of a number of poets. The biographies of the literary workers of old Bohemia are treated adequately in Lützow’s _History of Bohemian Literature_. No Čech has been more written about than Hus; and, incidentally, none has shed greater lustre on his native land than he. Every volume dealing with the causes and effects of the Reformation necessarily considers Hus’s part therein. Associated with Hus usually appears the name of his fellow-martyr, Jerome of Prague.
