Professor J. H. Wright of the Classical Department has been engaged for a number of years in editing a work in twenty-four volumes called "A History of All Nations," which is now in press, to be published by Lea Brothers and Company, of Philadelphia, this summer. The work is a translation with additions of the "Allgemeine Weltgeschichte" originally published in Berlin about fourteen years ago. The first twenty volumes treat the history of the Old World from the earliest times down to 1900, and are by distinguished German scholars, such as Justi, Herzberg, Pflugk-Harttung, Philippson, Prutz and Flathe. The next three volumes, on the History of America, are contributed by Professor John Fiske of Cambridge, and the last volume is an index. The work is profusely illustrated, containing facsimiles of coins and documents and many portraits from authentic originals. The original German edition closed with the year 1888, but Professor Charles M. Andrews of Bryn Mawr has completed the English edition down to the year 1900.
