and (in comparative philology) Victor Henry. Greece was ably represented
in France by A. Koraes. In Belgium we have P. Willems and the Baron De
Witte (long resident in France); in Holland, C.G. Cobet; in Denmark,
J.N. Madvig. Among the scholars of Great Britain and Ireland may be
mentioned: P. Elmsley, S. Butler, T. Gaisford, P.P. Dobree, J.H. Monk,
C.J. Blomfield, W. Veitch, T.H. Key, B.H. Kennedy, W. Ramsay, T.W.

Schools of Rome and Athens.
The 19th century in Germany was marked by the organization of the great
series of Greek and Latin inscriptions, and by the foundation of the
Archaeological Institute in Rome (1829), which was at first
international in its character. The Athenian Institute was founded in
1874. Schools at Athens and Rome were founded by France in 1846 and
1873, by the United States of America in 1882 and 1895, and by England
in 1883 and 1901; and periodicals are published by the schools of all
these four nations. An interest in Greek studies (and especially in art
and archaeology) has been maintained in England by the Hellenic Society,
founded in 1879, with its organ the _Journal of Hellenic Studies_. A
further interest in Greek archaeology has been awakened in all civilized
lands by the excavations of Troy, Mycenae, Tiryns, Epidaurus, Sparta,
Olympia, Dodona, Delphi, Delos and of important sites in Crete. The
extensive discoveries of papyri in Egypt have greatly extended our
knowledge of the administration of that country in the times of the
Ptolemies, and have materially added to the existing remains of G
