Description
UEber den Umlaut (1843) and UEber den Ablaut (1844) grew out of a review of Grimm's Deutsche Grammatik by Holtzmann, in which he also made an excursus into Bopp's theory of vowel gradation in Sanskrit. Holtzmann was the first to observe the correlation of guna and accent. At the same time he noted that loss (or absence) of the accent could mean loss or shortening of a vowel. Observations which, be it in a different form, eventually found their way into a unified theory of Indo-European vowel gradation.
The two German texts are presented here in fac simile format, together with an introductory article.

Description
This is a reprint of the third edition of Tytler's Principles of Translation , originally published in 1791, and this edition was published in 1813. The ideas of Tytler can give inspiration to modern TS scholars, particularly his open-mindedness on quality assessment and his ideas on linguistic and cultural aspects in translations, which are illustrated with many examples.
In the Introduction, Jeffrey Huntsman sets Alexander Fraser Tytler Lord Woodhouselee and his ideas in a historical context.
As the original preface states: "It will serve to demonstrate, that the Art of Translation is of more dignity and importance than has generally been imagined." (p. ix)
