“A work of remarkable erudition.... I find it characterized by rare large-mindedness and historic impartiality.... The subject is one into which few writers have had the courage to delve. The book should prove of much interest to scholars.... The subject has been treated in a masterly manner.”--_John Ireland, Archbishop of Minnesota._

=History of German Literature=

=By John G. Robertson=
Professor in the University of Strassburg

Octavo. Net, $3.50

“Dr. Robertson’s book is worthy of genuine praise. It is the result of most conscientious study and very wide reading; is written without any personal bias, and in a most sympathetic spirit; avoids all fancifulness and flippancy, and strives with remarkable success for completeness of information as to names, dates, synopses of books, and similar detail.... This manual is a thoroughly trustworthy Baedeker for the familiar routes in German literature, superseding once for all the sorry lot of _dilettanteish_ compilations which have served as guidebooks in this domain during the last generation.”--_The Nation._

“I must express the joy I have had, the enthusiasm I have felt, in gloating over every page of what I believe is the most brilliant book of any season since Carlyle’s and Emerson’s pens were laid aside.... It is full of humor, rich in style, and eccentric in form, all suffused with the perfervid genius of a man who is not merely a thinker but a force.”--WM. SLOANE KENNEDY in _Boston Transcript_.
