Prof. John Williams White assisted by Profs. Packard and Seymore of Yale, is engaged in editing a college series of Greek authors. The object of the series is to furnish as rapidly as possible annotated editions of the Greek authors, based upon German editions of the best authority. As far as possible the notes will be as free translations of the German, but the editor will always reserve the right to make such additions and changes as he may see fit. The books of this series will be published in a very convenient form by Ginn, Heath and Co. of Boston, and it is hoped that four or five will be issued every year. The first volume is the Antigone of Sophocles, edited on the basis of Wolff's edition by Prof. D'Ooge of the University of Michigan. The appearance of the book is very neat, the type sufficiently clear, and the notes admirably adapted to the use of college students. The next volume of the series, the sixth book of Thucydides, will be ready in December and will be edited by Prof. J. W. White.
