Born near Aachen, Leonhard Schmitz (1807-90) studied at the
University of Bonn, from which he received his PhD, before marrying
an Englishwoman and becoming a naturalised British citizen. Made
famous by the 1844 publication of his translation of Niebuhr's
Lectures on the History of Rome, he became rector of the Royal High
School, Edinburgh, where he taught Alexander Graham Bell. He also
briefly tutored the future Edward VII (and he had previously taught
Prince Albert in Bonn). This short-lived quarterly journal, which
Schmitz founded and edited between 1844 and 1850, focused
exclusively on aspects of classical antiquity - in contrast to the
more general literary reviews that were common in the period. It
illuminates the development of Classics as a specialist discipline
as well as contemporary intellectual links between Britain and
Germany. This fifth volume was published in 1848.
