CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY.
[360.] The Atharva Veda Sanhita, translated into English with a full critical and exegetical commentary.
[Professor Whitney left a manuscript of some 2459 pages containing a translation of the Atharva-Veda, books i.-xix.. complete, but not completely revised. This translation has from beginning to end a running text-critical commentary of great importance and value, and also exegetical and other notes. It was the intention of Professor Whitney that the work should be brought out in the Harvard Oriental Series, published by Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; and that intention the Editor of the Series, Professor Lanman, is now endeavoring to carry out. The work will, it is presumed, constitute volumes 4 and 5 of the Series.
No account, at once so systematic and extensive and complete, of the critical status of any Vedic text, has ever been undertaken before; and the material is here presented in just such lucid and orderly and well-digested form as the previous works of its lamented author would lead us to expect.]
