CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WRITINGS OF WILLIAM DWIGHT WHITNEY.

NOTE.

The Bibliographies of the Present Officers of Yale University, published at New Haven, 1893, contain, pages 147-152, a list of Professor Whitney's principal writings, compiled by him, and consisting of some 143 numbers. Mr. Whitney's list, as thus published, was very considerably enlarged by his pupil and assistant, Dr. Hanns Oertel, of Yale University. Dr. Oertel added the titles of articles and minor papers which Mr. Whitney had not seen fit to incorporate in his own list, and published the whole in a German dress in Bezzenberger's Beiträge zur Kunde der indogermanischen Sprachen, vol. 20, pp. 316-331. Dr. Oertel's list has been carefully revised by me, and recast in form, and supplemented by a few additions. Many more additions might still be made.^[1]

All the numbers which were not included by Mr. Whitney in his list are here enclosed in square brackets. The number of pages of most of the articles is indicated by giving the number of the first page and of the last. If only a single page-number is given, this indicates that the paper is a brief one of a page or less.

It is hoped that the list, as thus presented, may prove to be of historical and scientific interest and also of practical service to scholars.

ABBREVIATIONS.

AOS. = American Oriental Society. JAOS. = Journal of the AOS.—Vol. 1, 1849; etc.

PAOS. = Proceedings of the AOS.—For a history of this publication, see Whitney's Open Letter (No. 323). "In Oct. 1860 the new plan was adopted of repeating them [the Proceedings] in the Journal, with altered continuous paging [in Roman numerals], and the volumes [of the Journal], from vii. on (except vol. xii.), have contained such supplements." The Proceedings have been more or less widely distributed among Oriental scholars; and it has therefore been deemed useful to give for papers issued in the Proceedings the equivalent double references to Proceedings and Journal.

APA. = American Philological Association.

Trans. APA. = Transactions of the APA.—The "Trans. for" 1869 and 1870 form vol. 1. The "Trans. for" 1871 form vol. 2, and so on (1895 = vol. 26).

Proc. APA. = Proceedings of the APA.—These (like the PAOS.) were long issued doubly: first separately, soon after the meeting; and then afterwards, with the Transactions, to which they formed a separately paged supplement, or appendix.
The annual meeting is held in the summer. The Proceedings were sometimes issued before the succeeding New Year's Day and sometimes after. Hence I was sometimes uncertain whether a given Proceedings paper should be entered under the year of the meeting or under the following year.

AJP. = American Journal of Philology. Edited by Basil L. Gildersleeve, Professor of Greek in the Johns Hopkins University. Baltimore. Vol. 1, 1880; etc.

O&LS. = Oriental and linguistic studies: First series and Second series (= Nos. 161 and 181, below, where the contents are given).

For the sake of some foreign scholars, it may be mentioned that The Nation, The Independent, and The Critic are weekly journals, so named, and published in New York City.

[The preface to the first volume is dated May 1st, 1889. The supplementary note to preface is dated October 1st, 1891. The actual work began, of course, long before the prior date. The "superintendence" of the Lexicon naturally involved very far-reaching thought and planning (pp. 22, 31, above); but, in addition to this, the proofs of every one of the 21,138 columns were read by Mr. Whitney himself.

[341-359.] After the foregoing bibliography was in type, it appeared desirable to add to it the following numbers: la, 1b, 1c, 1d (18a—not absolutely certain), 30a, 58a, 61a, 88a, 113a, 119a, 122a, 132a, 137a, 186a, 206, 206a, 208a, 215a, 324a.

[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.]
