school was published in three volumes, The Pushkinist, 1914, 1916, and 1918. After the Revolution, when the Book Chamber was established, Vengerov was appointed Director and managed the institution, under very unfavourable conditions, until his death.
"I can only remember three days in my whole life when I felt at leisure," Vengerov used to say. The intense industriousness of his life may be seen from the following incomplete list of his works:—
Critico-Biographical Dictionary of Russian Authors and Men of Letters, six volumes, 1889-1904. These six volumes complete the first letter of the alphabet, most of the articles being written by Vengerov.
Russian Poetry, seven volumes, 1893-1901.
Thirty volumes of Russian authors, edited with notes about the writers.
The Sources of the Dictionary of Russian Authors, four volumes, 1900-17.
Library of Great Writers, edited by Vengerov and containing the complete works of Shakespeare, Byron, Molière, and Pushkin.
Outlines of the History of Russian Literature, 1907.
Russian Literature of the 20th Century, 1890-1910.
The Heroic Character of Russian Literature.
