in Latin to inditing a sympathetic notice of Ian Maclaren's 'Country Doctor.' What he was to me personally, as the comrade of my youth, as the link that bound me to the period of revelation and aspiration, as the constant, generous friend of riper years, I will not trust myself to say. Ueber alles Glück geht doch der Freund, Der's fühlend erst erschafft, der's theilend mehrt.' But I can not close this imperfect notice without some reference to the work which Hübner did for the Johns Hopkins University. It will be remembered that in 1888-9 the Latin Department, owing to the protracted illness of Professor Warren, was without a head, and at my instance the authorities had recourse to Professor Hübner, who prepared a valuable bibliography of Cicero's Letters, with hints for study (J. H. U. Circulars, No. 72), which served to bridge over the chasm; and the reports on the dissertations submitted to his judgment were remarkable for their fulness, their conscientiousness, their discrimination. Hübner died suddenly, as his younger brother, the successor of Wöhler at Göttingen, had died, called away from the fulness of an active and vigorous life. He was spared the pitifulness of slow senescence. He was alert to the end, such an end as he would doubtless have wished for himself. True, he had a great work on the stocks, a work which was to crown his life, but work unfinished is also a bequest. When his highly gifted wife died, he had carved on her tomb a line from her father's translation of Aeschylus, 'Du bist vollbracht, Nachtwache meines Lebens.' It is a good epitaph for a scholar that watches on the outposts of scientific life. It is far better than the sigh which one hears from_Heyne's Vergilian inscription, 'Vixi et quem dederat cursum Fortuna peregi.' But even Droysen could not rival the terseness of the Greek original. There are but two words, Διαπεφρούρηται βίος. A valued correspondent, M. JOSEPH KEELHOFF, Professor at the Athénée Royal of Antwerp, who had furnished for years the summaries of THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHILOLOGY to the Revue des Revues and who had shown a lively and intelligent interest in all American philological work, as was evinced by his translation of Professor HALE's Art of Reading Latin, has recently succumbed to a long and painful malady. Born April 20, 1860, M. KEELHOFF, who died February 28, 1901, had not yet completed his forty-first year. His latest letters show that he was working bravely to the end. B. L. G. RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
