The "Translation of the Atharva-Veda," by Professor W. D. Whitney h.'76, late of the Sanskrit Department of Yale, will soon be published in the Harvard Oriental Series by the University. Professor Whitney died in 1894, leaving the work unfinished. The manuscript was then turned over to Professor C. R. Lanman, of the Department of Indic. Philology, and editor of the Harvard Oriental Series, who has spent over five years in completing, revising, and editing it. Professor Whitney's translation of the nineteen books of the Atharva-Veda is an extremely close and literal English version. Exclusive of the matter for the general introduction, the manuscript of his commentary and translation, as he left it at his death, consisted of about 2470 folios.
The work will be issued in three volumes, containing in all over 1000 pages.
