Ïheola(~irerl Studies ,
and need not repeat here what is ther e to be found . But mention must be made of the fact that the editor, emeritus professor of Latin in the iIniversity of Graz, survived the appear -ance of his last contribution to the study of Augustine by only a lo w months . His death an April 28, 11)2 /1, removed from the ranks of Lati n scholars one who had spent a long life in patient and conscientious ser-vice, and it is lilting that he should receive a tribute from those wh o profit by his labours . His text of the Letters of tit . Augustine is not per . haps all that it might he, but, on the whole, it is an improvement upo n earlier editions, and provides, in its useful apparatus, the means for it s own amelioration . Goldbacher began his collation for this edition i n 1872, when he was 35 ; this concluding volume was published 51 . year s later, so whatever be the blemishes of the whole work, they may be con-sidered as compensated for by the devotion shown by Goldbaeher ove r a period of time which all scholars would desire and only few can enjoy . Of the 426 pages of this work, the Arica: nominunt etrerum
and th eIndex veeborum et locuiionune occupy pages 115-428, or about two-third s
of the whole . Both have been drawn up with care, and contain the re-sults of independent labour . Two disadvantages in them call for notice : first, the references throughout are, to pages and lines of Goldbacher' s

25 1 own edition --- a natural enough proceeding on the editor's part, bu t one which necessitates a second search in order to discover the numbe r of the letter referred to, and so prevents the use of these indices in connection with earlier editions, Gau►ne's or Migne's . The second quali-fication is ►core serious : neither can be relied upon to prove a negative . In my earlier notice of this volume, I draw attention to certain notabl e lexicographical minutiae which the. Index: eerborarn fails to include (rare words like
adulatorie,
conunotius and obsecundatio) ; six months' furthe ruse of the book shows that this list could be greatly augmented . Goldba-eher has not recorded much of the material which is of special impor-tance to the student of Augustinian Latin and of post-classical Latin in general, nor, when he does include such terms as are lexicographicall y valuable, can he he relied upon to be exhaustive . That this greatly im -pairs the worth of his Index eerborunr, need hardly be said . However , the volume will he of undoubted service, and, tails quails, forms an ac-eel►table coanplctiun of (bddbacher' ' s crmtrlhution to Augustinian studies , and wo may well he grateful that he was given the length of years t o bring his labours to a titling end . It is to be hoped that the Vienna Aca-demy will he able to lind a capable editor to complete and publish th e collations which Goldbacher had ruade for an appendix-volume contain-ing the spur/a ; were it only for Pelagius' /:pistuka ad Dc,netriadena ,
the publication of titis sixth kart would he very welcome .
In the second volume before its, Sister Parson's 6'tudy, we have a work which will to a considerable extent remedy the deficiencies w e have noted in (ioldhncher ' s Indians, Though the two books appeared almost together, they are not altogether rivals : Sister Parsons gives us a systematic and ordered examination of the vocabulary and style o f Augustine' s Letters, after the model presented by the classic works o f Bonnet and Goclrer . Careful as Miss Parsons has been, she has apparentl y lacked the thorough knowledge of ecclesiastical Latinity which woul d have enabled her to make her book complete, exhaustive and final . He r lists contain much that is common and commonplace, and per contra , omit certain things which ought to have been included . We have bee n compelled to believe that her reading of the Letters was not conducted with the same thoroughness and intensity throughout ; only on this hy-pothesis can we explain certain curious and regrettable omissions . I n the notes which follow, no attempt has been made to mark the lacuna e in more than a limited number ofletters, those in which at the momen t we happen to be particularly interested . A second exhaustive readin g will enable Sister Parsons to make her collections quite complete, an d it is for this desirable consummation that we alter our addenda .

ANALYSES ET COMPTES-RENDUS .meantime and of an eventual second edition . It is not likely, nor
desi-rable, that there should be another study of the Latinity of Augustine' s
Letters, so it is all the more incumbent upon Miss Parsons to make her
work complete . A few years of immersion in the other works of th e
Saint, accompanied by a careful study of the works of Ltifstedt, Souter ,
Turner, Svennung, Goelzer, Watson and others, will enable her to ejec t
much that is trivial, restore proportion, and, above all, painstakingly to
examine and set down the history of the terms which Christian writer s
employ in new senses . Ller book is good ; so good that we wish it to b e
unexceptionable and exhaustive . And we would urge that a second
edi-tion should not fail to have a complete
index uerborum et locutionum .Finally, the gratitude of all scholars is due to Professor Roy J .
De-ferrari, the enthusiastic and capable head of the Classical Department o f
the Catholic University of Washington, who is responsible for the
incep-tion of the series of Patristic Studies in which the volume under revie w
appears . He is founding and directing a splendid school of young
wor-kers in this long-neglected field, and their common labours are full o f
promise .
