OTHER BOOKS BY MAX MÜLLER
Auld Lang Syne
First Series. Illustrated. 8vo, $2.00
“This book, the fruit of enforced leisure, as its author tells us, is a charming mass of gossip about people whom Professor Max Müller has known during his long career—musicians, literary men, princes, and beggars. The last class is not, perhaps, the least interesting or amusing. To our mind, however, the chapter on musicians, with its delightful pictures of the author’s early life, and the naïve confessions as to musical tastes, with some of the stories about celebrated composers, forms the most interesting portion of a work which has not one dull page.”—The Spectator.
“One of the most charming examples of reminiscent literature that has recently seen the light.”—New York Sun.
Auld Lang Syne
Second Series. My Indian Friends. 8vo, $2.00.
“The professor’s ‘Indian Friends’ are not all of the nineteenth century. His oldest friends are in the Veda, about which he has always loved to write. Indeed, he spent the best years of his life over the text of the Rig Veda, and has a clear right to be heard upon the classic he has done so much to make familiar.... But the real charm of his recollections lies rather in their peaceful kindliness, in their wide and tolerant sympathies, and in their earnest aim, which will surely be attained in some measure, of bringing what is best in India closer home to foreigners.”—Literature.
