History of German Literature
By John G. Robertson
Professor in the University of Strassburg
Octavo. Net, $3.50
“Dr. Robertson’s book is worthy of genuine praise. It is the result of most conscientious study and very wide reading; is written without any personal bias, and in a most sympathetic spirit; avoids all fancifulness and flippancy, and strives with remarkable success for completeness of information as to names, dates, synopses of books, and similar detail.... This manual is a thoroughly trustworthy Baedeker for the familiar routes in German literature, superseding once for all the sorry lot of dilettanteish compilations which have served as guidebooks in this domain during the last generation.”—The Nation.
