"Throughout the papers, careful research and accurate observation are
manifested, and they will repay careful perusal. To the Anatomist,
as well as the practical physician or surgeon, they will prove
valuable."--_Edinburgh Medical Journal_.
CELTIC SERIES.
No. I. AN INTRODUCTION TO EARLY WELSH. By the late Prof. J. STRACHAN,
LL.D. Demy 8vo, pp. xvi, 294. 7s. 6d. net.
(Publication No. 40, 1908.)
"The Grammar as a whole is of course a very great advance on the pioneer
work of Zeuss; Dr. Strachan had fuller and more accurate texts to work
with, and possessed a knowledge probably unsurpassed of the results of
recent progress in Celtic philology, which he himself did so much to
promote."--Professor Morris Jones in the _Manchester Guardian_.
"To Welshmen anxious to study their native tongue in a thorough and
scientific manner Dr. Strachan has here furnished an invaluable
manual."--_Aberdeen Free Press_.
"An Irishman cannot but envy the University of Manchester; long since
there should have been a University for Celtic Ireland, rearing scholars
to work at these things that largely belong to Ireland--to her interest
and to her honour--and to produce works as solid in scholarship and as
nobly turned out in material form."--_The Freeman's Journal_.
"The work is an excellent introduction to the study of early Welsh. We
can strongly recommend it to Welsh students; it is undoubtedly a work
which no student of Celtic literature can afford to be without."--_North
Wales Guardian_.
"The work is destined, of course, to become the text-book in early Welsh
wherever taught."--_Western Mail_.
CLASSICAL SERIES.
No. I. A STUDY OF THE BACCHAE OF EURIPIDES. By G. NORWOOD, M.A.,
Assistant Lecturer in Classics. Demy 8vo, pp. xx, 188. 5s. net.
(Publication No. 31, 1908.)
"The interest of Mr. Norwood's book, which ... is a very welcome
addition to the bibliography of Euripides, and a scholarly and
interesting piece of work, displaying erudition and insight beyond the
ordinary, lies in the way in which, by applying Dr. Verrall's methods
... he first shows up difficulties and inconsistencies, some of which
have hardly been noticed before ... and then produces his own
startling theory, which he claims is the great solvent of all the
perplexities."--_Saturday Review_.
"Unless very strong evidence can be produced against Mr. Norwood's view,
it must be accepted as the true solution of the problem.... Mr. Norwood
is generally clear, and abounds in illuminating thoughts. He has added a
full bibliography (running to twenty-three pages) of writings on
Euripides, and for this every scholar will offer his sincere thanks....
He has done a very good piece of work."--_Athenæum_.
