OTHER BOOKS BY MAX MUeLLER

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 Mueller 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 naive
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
