Excerpt from The Adventures of Don Sylvio De Rosalva Born In 1733 at Biberach, a free corporation town Of Swabia, he was the son of a Lutheran minister a learned man, who undertook the entire charge of his education, and with parental zeal pushed him on so fast that at seven he was able to read Nepos with enjoyment, and at thirteen made pocket companions of Virgil and Horace. This unwise stimulation Of the mental facul ties had the usual effect Oi giving him a distaste for the healthy recreations of boyhood he grew shy, and fond of solitary musing, unfit for competition with his equals, and inclined by his father's religious discipline to morbid habits of self-analysis, and, it may be added, of self deception. His frequent tears of contrition, his out bursts Oi religiosity, were not insincere they were the transient emotions of an impressionable soul, and by no means implied any deep and lasting conviction.

"The First Printed Translations" by William James Harris is a bibliography that has been compiled with the view of supplementing existing textbooks on English literary history and assisting students in preparing for examinations in Bibliography and Literature. It will also be of service to those who are working for the professional examinations of the Library Association. The great foreign classics have exercised a direct and decided influence upon English literature and the object of this bibliography is to give in concise form the authors and titles, translations, and dates of the first English translations of the chief foreign authors, and incidentally to enable students to note the effect of such translations on the works of many of our great imaginative writers. Excerpt: "ACHILLES TATIUS. Fourth Century. Greek writer. CLEITOPHON AND LEUCIPPE. Tr. by Rev. R. Smith, 1855. One of the decadent Greek novelists. An erotic novel of a conventional type. ÆLFRIC. c. 1006. THE CATHOLIC HOMILIES. Ed. with tr. B. Thorpe, Ælfric Soc., 1844-46. LIVES OF SAINTS. Ed. Text and Tr. W. W. Skeat, E.E.T.S., 1881.
