BOOK NOTICE.

THE OEDIPUS TYRANNUS OF SOPHOCLES: Text and Translation. Harvard University. The Greek Department.

This libretto of the Greek play is a model of its kind in its attractive make-up and clear and careful printing. The plates of the Greek text were kindly loaned by Messrs. Ginn & Heath, the Boston publishers. The translation by Professor Campbell of St. Andrews is unfortunately a very imperfect rendering of the original: there seems indeed to be no really good poetical translation of the play, so that it is to be regretted that a careful prose translation, such as that which Professor White read some months ago, was not adopted. The book, however, will be a pleasant souvenir of a performance which cannot fail to have made a deep impression on all who have seen it, or who are to see it to-night and to-morrow.
