=Angus, Samuel.= Sources of the first ten books of Augustine’s De civitate Dei. $1. Univ. library, Princeton, N. J.
“It would seem that certain statements in the study of the sources are entirely too dogmatic. The dissertation is a work that will prove of great value to students of Augustine, and there is thus the more reason for regretting the large number of typographical errors.”

“The translation of ‘Aladdin’ is sound and vigorous, and in every way more readable style than Lane had at his command. But there is one slip very strange in the past master in Arabic numismatics. Professor Lane-Poole does not seem to have recognized that the ‘Africa’ in this story means Tunis.”
