A Dictionary of the English and German Language for Home

and School. With Special Reference to Dr. Felix Flagel's Dictionary. Edited by Professor Im. Schmidt, Ph.D., and G. Tanger, Ph D. 2 vole. (Asher and Co.)—Every English student of German will know Magas Dictionary. A very good and serviceable work it was, and for not a few years we were not unreasonably content with it. But ideas of dictionary excellence have been greatly developed, and we have to build new structures on old founds,- tions. So Messrs. Schmidt and Tanger have built on Fliigel. These two volumes must have at least double the contents of the old work, and the increased quantity will doubtless be found to be accompanied by a proportionate advance in quality.
