Mr. Thayer has undertaken to write, in anddetail from the
sources, the history of Sterne's invogue Germany. As thus
broadly defined the task had not before been attempted, al-
though phases of it had been treated, more or less thoroughly,
in recent monographs. The work here submitted, the result
of careful research in a number of American and European
libraries, is in my judgment an interesting and valuable con-
tribution to our knowledge of the literary relations of England
and Germany at the time of the great renascence of German
letters.
