CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY 211 



curators (respectively HERON DE VILLEFOSSE and Salomon 

 REINACH) are among the most eminent of specialists.^ 



In addition to his specialized training, the student in a 

 French university will be under the constant influence of 

 admirable models of the art of exposition. Almost 

 invariably the French lecturer, whatever his subject, 

 handles it with a large and philosophical grasp, with an 

 instinctive sense of organization, and with an animation 

 and charm of manner not often matched in other coun- 

 tries. 



The opportunities which Paris offers to the student of 

 Latin are thus seen to be great. But it should also be 

 understood that the faculties of the provincial universities 

 contain many scholars of high ability and accomplish- 

 ment. 



In the following exhibition of the types of work 

 prosecuted by French Latinists who are now engaged 

 in teaching, names of leading scholars are selected, 

 many that deserve mention being necessarily omitted. 

 In the case of each one given, the prominent line or 

 lines of activity, so far as publication shows, will be 

 indicated by a statement or by the title of a book. 

 But it should be borne in mind that many scholars for 

 whom a technical specialty is mentioned work in the 

 field of literary interpretation and criticism as well, and 



vice versa. 



With allowance for these crossings of lines, the names 

 are arranged under the order of the groups (i) literature 

 and criticism, (2) grammar (sounds, inflexions, syntax, 

 etc.), (3) metrics and prose rhythms, (4) palaeography, 

 epigraphy, numismatics, (5) history, institutions, religion, 

 antiquities, (6) topography, geography. 



HAVET, of Paris, has worked in critical editing ("Plauti 

 Amphitruo," 1895; "Notes critiques sur le texte de 

 Festus," 1914), in versification, in the metrics of prose
