d that he says it well. Entertaining and generally instructive without being pedantic." _The Theatre_: "A pleasing lightness of touch.... Very readable book." * * * * * HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY Publishers New York THE NIBELUNGENLEID Translated into rhymed verse in the metre of the original by George Henry Needler, of University College, Toronto. Gilt top, 335 pp. 12mo. $1.75 net (by mail $1.87). _Prof. H. C. G. Brandt_, _Hamilton College_, _Clinton, N. Y._: "It is the best English translation, without question. The translator shows his good judgment when he retains the original strophe, the characteristic last half-verse with its four ictus included. That a Germanist could write an introduction of only 36 pages to such a much-discussed epic will be a marvel to his fellows. But it contains all the general reader wants and needs to know." _N. Y. Evening Post_: "At last we have an English translation of the _Nibelungenlied_ which is in every way worthy of the original." _N. Y. Times Review_: "The book stands in no need of any apology.... The scholarly introduction deserves unqualified praise." _Buffalo Commercial_: "This version, it is safe to say, is the best ever published in our language." * * * * * AUS DEUTSCHEN MEISTERWERKEN (Nibelungen, Parcival, Gudrun, Tristan und Isolde). Erzaehlt von Sigmon M. Stern. With a full vocabulary, xxvii + 225 pp. 16mo. $1.20. A simple version _in German_ of those great German legends which every educated person should know. Under Parcival, the legend of Lohengrin is also told. The stories are broken up into short easy chapters, and written in such simple German that no editorial matter, beyond a few words of introduction, has been thought necessary. WAGNER'S RING OF THE NIBELUNG By G. T. Dippold. _Revised Edition_, 12mo. $1.50. The mythological basis is explained.
