NOTES:- The recent literature on Schopenhauer, in English, French and German, is now considerable and so easily accessible, that it is needless to give her many bibliographical notes. The best life is the one by Gwinner in the edition of 1878. It is not well to become acquainted with Schopenhauer by means of his briefer essays, before reading the first volume of his "World as Will and Idea," which is by all means the best possible introduction to his thought. Helen Zimmern's "Arthur Schopenhauer" gives a sketch of the Philosopher s life in English, a sketch made valuable chiefly...

If any benefactor intends to make a gift to the university he could hardly devote his funds to a more valuable specific purpose than to add to Mr. Schiff's endowment. It is needless to say that the sum received through his generosity is not in itself large enough to place the university in the position he hope to see it hold-that of an acknowledged leader in Semitic research. Besides the value of such achievements to religion, art, philology, history, and general culture, the university...
