Writers of the Day: No. XXXVII. - The Right Hon. Professor Frederick Max Müller, LL.D., D.C.L., 1898. 'Professor Max Müller, whose interesting volume of reminiscences is reviewed in these columns...was born at Dessau, in Germany, in 1823. Educated at the public schools of Dessau and Leipzic, and the Universities of Leipzic and Berlin, he turned his attention early in his career to the study of comparative philology. In 1844 he published his first book, a translation of Sanskrit Fables, known collectively as "The Hitopadesa." The collating of the "Rig-Veda" manuscripts brought him to England two years later, and a further term of two years found him settled at Oxford. The first volume of his edition of the "Rig-Veda" appeared in 1849, and five years later he was appointed Taylorian Professor of Modern Languages at Oxford. When the University founded a new Professorship of Comparative Philology he was made the first Professor by the statute, and his numerous publications and lectures have since led to his general recognition as the leading authority on a peculiarly wide range of ethnological, philological, and philosophical questions. His two most popular works are perhaps "Essays on the Science of Language" and "Chips from a German Workshop".' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
