Abstract
THE establishment of a new philological journal, devoted more especially to the study of the classical languages, seems a fitting occasion for reviewing the present condition of philology, in the narrower and German sense of the word, among English-speaking scholars. A great change has come over the study of Latin and Greek during the last half century, and the old-fashioned scholarship whose highest aim was the composition of faultless verses seems likely soon to become a thing of the past.
