We would refer to the notes of Isaac Taylor, in his edition of Traill's Josephus' Wars, as very important. The little book of Schneckenburger is comprehensive and clear. Lewin's work is of great value.

Neubauer's Geographic is a most serviceable volume. Dr. J. Morgenstern published, in 1870 (two pamphlets, Berlin), a severe review of it, entitled, Die französische Academic und die 'Geographic des Talmuds,' which we have used in connection with Neubauer's work. On the other hand, Dr. M. A. Levy, in the Zeitschrift der D. M. Gesellschaft, 1869, p. 699, and Dr. Geiger, in Jüdische Zeitschrift fur Wissenschaft und Leben, 1869, p. 62, et seq., both praise Neubauer's Géographic, as a work of great merit. Hausrath is always fresh and suggestive. We can, with much justice, call him the German Stanley. Keim's is a vast work, and characterised by fulness and richness.

Graetz's Geschichte is likewise of great importance; but sometimes his conclusions are too hasty and his spirit too partisan for the candid historian.
