of the Samaritan Neapolis exhibiting Mount Gerizim with its twin temple-crowned summits, or the better known companion piece of Athens that gives us a glimpse of the Akropolis and its buildings? What more interesting coin can be conceived than that of Pautalia, on which are allegorically grouped the Strymon and its navigation, the genii of vintage and harvest and the plodding gnomes of its mines weighed down with their gold and silver burdens? Again, even when the later types are of no special individual interest, they are often deserving of notice as monuments of civic continuity. The later coinages of that ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑ ΧΕΡCONHCOC to which reference has been already made are passed over for instance with a reference to the Musée Kotschonbey. Yet even as a signal example of the survival of free Hellenic life some further attention was due to a city whose autonomous coinage extends over fourteen centuries, and which, in the words of Finlay, though surrounded by powerful enemies and barbarous nations,' was still enabled to preserve

'A Homer's language murmuring in her streets And in her havens many a mast from Tyre.'

It would perhaps be possible to issue a shorter Handbook' for educational purposes, but regarded as a ' History,' the present work would considerably gain by greater fullness. Not only do we need a fuller description of many of the types, but the introductory portion might be amplified with advantage. In its present form Mr. Head's Historia Numorum is a landmark of numismatic progress. But the subject is too vast for the space accorded to it. In conclusion I cannot do better than express a fervent hope that a second edition of the work may ere long see the light in two volumes and with twice the amount of illustrations.

Die Griechischen Vasen mit Meistersignaturen, von WILHELM KLEIN. Second edition; revised and enlarged. 8vo. Pp. xii. 261. Vienna Carl Gerold's Sohn. 6 Mk.

KLEIN has now made the same advance in his Meistersignaturen that he made last year in his Euphronios. Ascertaining in the first what works of the Greek vase-painters are still extant, and discussing in detail in the second the extant works of one of the greatest of those painters, Klein some years ago placed the study of this branch of Greek art on new and firmer ground. But books like his, that are the first sure guides to neglected subjects, must always need large additions and some correction: and it is not till they reach a revised edition that their full effect is felt. He is now able to give 424 vases by 103 painters in place of 389 vases by 93 painters. But some minor corrections are still needed : for instance, two vases are said to be at Paris in the

Collection Rayet, which collection was dispersed by auction in the spring of 1879. It should be undercatalogue. Many vases are signed by two painters, derstood that the book is not by any means a mere one with ἐποίησεν and the other with ἔγραψεν, οι both with eroinσev. On many vases with signatures there are also other names followed by καλὸς or καλή : and on some there are two or three names with these

epithets. Working out the connections thus estab

lished, Klein has arranged the painters in a series of groups and has fixed the sequence of these groups in date by certain broad differences of style. Minor differences of style mark many unsigned vases as the work of these painters: but Klein wisely avoids this point, seeing that it could not be treated convincingly without a mass of costly illustrations. Yet in truth style is often a safer guide than mere signatures. The story of Pheidias and Agoracritos shows that in Greece one artist sometimes signed another's work: and in the case of Duris, for example, one or two vases with his signature are not the least in his usual style, while others that are unsigned exhibit all his mannerisms. This revised edition has five indices: giving, first, the names of the painters; secondly, the names with xaλòs or xaλh; thirdly, the subjects represented on the vases; fourthly, the publications in which they are engraved; and fifthly, the collections in which they are preserved. Like the Euphronios it has been reduced from an unmanageable quarto pamphlet to a convenient octavo volume. Every one who would study Greek vases must begin with Klein's two books.-Č. T.

I regret to learn from M. Salomon Reinach that I was in error in stating last month that he was preparing a catalogue of the Museum at Constantinople to replace the catalogue published by him five years ago and now out of print. M. Reinach informs me that almost all the Celtic and Roman antiquities at the Cluny Museum at Paris have lately been removed to the Museum of Saint Germain, including the very notable collection of Roman glass from the necropolis of Poitiers. He adds that the Museum of Saint Germain has lately acquired a dagger with anthropoid handle in bronze, found in the department of the Charente, which forms an important addition to the small scries of such daggers hitherto known.

CECIL TORR.

No acquisition of classical antiquities of any importance has been made at the British Museum during the past month. A scheme has been sanctioned for converting the old Print Room into a gallery of sepulchral monuments. Over two hundred reliefs will be exhibited on the walls, and the floor will be occupied by large sarcophagi. At present the room is cut in two by a floor at an awkward height: this will be removed later on, and a new floor built lower down on a level with that of the Elgin gallery, sufficient space remaining below for a good basement room. Meanwhile the upper rows of reliefs will be built into their permanent places in the walls, those destined for the lower rows remaining for a time on the present floor.-C. T.

When I visited Iasos in the month of March, a vessel of the Turkish navy had just left, which had been engaged for some weeks previously in shipping large blocks of marble extracted from the ruins for use in public works at Constantinople. This and other accessible sites in the neighbourhood have for many years past furnished their tribute for the dockyard and other constructions of the capital. In order to find suitable stones, the captain destroyed a portion of the mediaeval wall which surrounds the peninsula, and in the foundations he came across a series of

inscribed bases lying on their sides. With a care, which, had it been exercised by others charged with a similar mission, would have preserved many valuable documents, he had them extracted whole and deposited on board. I trust that they are by this tine in the Imperial Museum. Some gentlemen in Choulouk obtained copies of these inscriptions, and I presume they are those published by Contoleon in the Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique for March. If this is so, the circumstances of their discovery have been withheld; and, as the name of Iasos does not appear in any, M. Foucart has been induced to conjecture that they may come from Passala. The wall in question is entirely composed of ancient remains; and were it carefully destroyed, we should probably possess more inscriptions from Iasos than from any site in Turkey.-W. R. PATON.

JOHANNES HEINRICH WILHELM HENZEN, commonly called Wilhelm Henzen, was born at Bremen on the 24th of January 1816, and died at Rome on the 27th January 1887. He was trained in his native city, and afterwards in the Universities of Bonn and Berlin; and in 1840 he started on his travels. He came first to Paris and thence to London, acquiring perfect command of English and French; next he went to Rome, and after travelling with Welcker and Ulrichs in Greece and Asia Minor, and in Sicily, in November 1842 he settled at Rome for good. He forthwith joined the Archaeological Institute there, and soon acquired the paramount influence within it which he retained to the last; and it was mainly due to him that the Institute grew from a private association to an Imperial German foundation. In spite of indifferent health, his activity was almost incredible: for besides his better known work, the correspondence and management of the Institute, and the editing of its Annali and Bullettini were for many years almost entirely in his hands. He worked at first at Greek antiquities, and the first Latin inscriptions that he published were two from Athens; but he soon found his true sphere, and the volume with which he completed Orelli's collection of select Latin inscriptions established his reputation in all countries as one of the very first authorities on Latin epigraphy. This was not published until 1856, but for fully ten years before he had been busy with the project of a Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum. This project found favour at Berlin; but its execution in the thorough-going way that he desired was not assured until after his friend Theodor Mommsen had set an example with his edition of the Neapolitan inscriptions in 1852. In 1853 the editing of the Corpus was entrusted to Henzen, Moinmsen, and de Rossi. Henzen's own work is mainly in volume vi., dealing with the Latin inscriptions of the city of Rome; and for this he obtained new material by promoting excavations at the Grove of the Arval Brethren, on whose acts he published an independent treatise. He was moreover one of the founders of the Ephemeris Epigraphica. Due honour was rendered at his funeral by the authorities at Rome; and his charming courtesy to strangers will long be remembered in many countries.-CECIL TORR.

CARL SCHAPER, editor of Vergil, died 6 Oct. 1886. His father, who had been enabled to complete his medical studies by the generosity of Heinrich Ritter, afterwards Professor of Philosophy in Göttingen, did much to promote education in Elbing, where the eldest of his eight children, Carl Heinrich Julius, was born 15 March 1828. At the age of seven the boy was sent to Elbing Gymnasium, which he left for Halle University at Michaelmas 1844. In Halle he attended the lectures of Meier, Bernhardy, Pott,

Schaller, Erdmann, Max Duncker, and courses on education and theology. At Easter 1846 he went to Berlin where Franz and Trendelenburg, Lachmann, and especially Boeckh, watched over his studies. His Inother's death in 1847, philosophical studies, and the political excitement of the time, kept him in continual agitation. Posting a letter on the 18th of March 1848, he found his return blocked by a barricade, and in the tumult received wounds. In January 1850 he migrated to Königsberg, where he completed his studies under Lobeck and Lehrs. After holding masterships at Danzig, Tilsit, Königsberg, he was appointed in 1861 head master of the Gymnasium at Insterburg; at Michaelmas 1864 Director in Lyck; in July 1868 Sommerbrodt's successor in the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium in Posen; in July 1872 Gustav Kiessling's successor in the important Joachimsthal Gymnasium at Berlin. Here he remained to his death and to him the success of the school in its new quarters is due. The last months of his life were clouded by severe illness, bravely borne. His last connected words were: Grüsse an das Joachimsthal.

He spoke Latin fluently and could write Latin verse. His publications on metre and on Vergil induced the Weidmann firm, after Ladewig's death (1874), to entrust him with the revision of their Vergil with German notes, and since 1882 he wrote the report on the Roman bucolic poets for Bursian's Jahresbericht; in 1885, when his mortal sickness was upon him, he further undertook, in the place of the deceased Genthe, the report on the Aeneid for the same serial. The last days before his death he read through Ribbeck's new edition of the text.

For Wölfflin's Archiv. für lat. Lexikographie he undertook to excerpt Hor. c. and epod. and Valerius Flaccus, and lived to send in the answers to about 200 questions,

He belonged to a society of scholars who met weekly, latterly fortnightly, to read together the Greek dramatists. He was so satisfied with the result that he formed a similar circle from the teachers of the Joachimicum. He was also an active member of the Archaeological, Paedagogical and other learned societies, and took an active part in many patriotic, literary and philanthropic agitations. Trust in God appeared to him the one true foundation of every society, the family, the school, the state.' (From the obituary notice by G. J. Schneider in Bursian's Jahresbericht, 'Nekrologe' 1886, 11. pp. 129-146).

Expositor, April.-Professor Westcott, writing on the R. V., gives examples of the practical gain arising from its exactness in grammatical details. Mr. J. Macpherson continues the discussion on the Origin of the Christian Ministry. He holds that, in the Apostolic Church, there was but one regular office, that of the presbyter, but that in the larger communities, where several presbyters were required, the presbyters were divided into superior (lokoro) and inferior (diákovo); further, that during the first six centuries the loкоTоs was simply pastor of a congregation.

May.-Professor Harnack gives in chronological order the data we possess for determining the development of the Christian ministry, and then deals more particularly with the original nature of the episcopal office. His conclusion is that both the episcopal and the presbyterial theories are wrong. The development was very complicated. By the end of the first century we find the bishop presiding over the services of the Church, administrating its finances, acting as its representative to those without, but himself to some extent controlled by the council of presbyters. English readers will feel less confidence in these results when they learn the cost at which they have been obtained. The Epistle to the Ephesians was not written by Paul, but a considerable time after his death.' seems to me very improbable that the Acts of the Apostles was written during the first century.' So the Pastoral Epistles and that of St. James are relegated to the second century. Mr. T. E. Page, in somewhat magisterial style, reproves the Revisers for their rendering of Acts i. 16-21. We agree with him on the whole, but cannot think that the latter half of verse 19 was spoken by St. Peter, just after the event referrred to. Professor Godet writes on the Epistle to the Ephesians, and Professor Warfield on recent American literature relating to the N. T.
