Holger Pedersen: Anm. af Harvard Studies, Vol. X. 47 fuldstændig at følge Forfatterne; men den store Mængde af nøiagtige Iagttagelser af Enkelthederne gjøre deres Værk til en Guldgrube for Granskeren, ligesom de fortrinlige Tegninger og den aandrige Fremstilling gjøre det til en velkommen Gave for enhver Elsker af hellenisk Architektur. J. L. Ussing. Harvard Studies in Classical Philology. Edited by a Committee of the Classical Instructors of Harvard University. Volume X. Boston 1899. Ginn & Co. 187 p. We have already reviewed Vol. VIII of the «Harvard Studies» (VIII 73—77); the praise given to that volume might be repeated on occasion of the present one, but we shall confine ourselves to a mere mentioning of the contents. The volume contains eleven essays by eight authors: Albert A. Howard, «The Mouth-Piece of the αὐλός» and «Metrical Passages in Suetonius»; W. N. Bates, «Ionic Capitals in Asia Minor»; J. W. H. Walden, «The Date of Libanius’s λόγος ἐπιτάφιος ἐπ᾽ ` lovλιανῷ; Benjamin Oliver Foster, «The Symbolism of the Apple in Classical Antiquity»; Aríhur Alexis Bryant, «Greek Shoes in the Classical Period»; C. B. Gulick, «The Attic Prometheus» and «Two Notes on the ,Birds‘ of Aristophanes»; H. W. Prescott, <A Study of the Daphnis-Myth»; J. B. Greenough, «The Religious Condition of the Greeks at the Time of the New Comedy» and «<Some Questions in Latin Stem Formation», Greenough evidently is right in explaining the Latin gerundive as the result of a successive addition of suffixes (ger-un-dus; οἵ. mori-b-un-dus, rubi-c-un-dus); he takes the gerundive to have been originally a verbal adjective (active or passive), and the gerund to be nothing more than the impersonal of the gerundive taking a case. But I do not agree with him in some other theories; his explanation of Lat. vehiculum etc. is to my mind far inferior to the traditional hypothesis termed by Greenough «a linguistic mare’s-nest».
