“Before his death, Father Neville, Newman’s literary executor, prepared the contents of this volume for the press. Its main contents are a collection of sixty odd addresses to the Cardinal, with his replies, on the occasion of his elevation to the purple. There is also a prefatory narrative of the events relating to the conferring of that dignity. The letter of Cardinal Nina offering the hat, and Newman’s reply, as well as his letter to the pope, are given in English, while the Italian and Latin forms are found in an appendix.”—Cath. World.

[Nibelungenlied]; translated by John Storer Cobb. *$2. Small.
The translator says: “In preparing a new translation of the Nibelungenlied, my aim has been to contribute to an expansion of the knowledge of a work that affects us more nearly than the Iliad, for it is the product of the poetic faculties of the race to which we belong. I have followed the original, phrase by phrase, without avoiding the negligencies, the obscurities, the repetitions, that it presents.... The text of the Nibelungenlied has been the subject of extended commentaries and profound study, and I have felt myself bound to render it with most respectful exactitude.”
