Excerpt from Review of Riley's Translation the Comedies of Plautus We must pause for a moment to notice the edition of Weise, Qued linburg and Leipsic, 1838, in two octavo volumes. This is utterly without worth, and undeserving of mention among the editions of Plautus. But Mr. Riley has made it the basis of his second volume, with the exception of the Amphitruo and Rudens. We may con gratulate ourselves that he has done so; for what has passed through the hands of both Weise and Riley is so corrupt that it saves us from all consideration of it.

George Martin Lane was descended from William Lane who settled in Dorchester, Massachussets, about 1635. His parents, Martin Lane of Northampton, Massachussets, and Lucretia Swan of Boston, removed to Cambridge shortly after the birth of their son.
He received ordinary education in the school of Charles Stearns Wheeler. He graduated with high distinction from Harvard in 1846. In 1847 he went to Germany in order to devote himself to classical philology, a subject in which no American college then offered systematic instruction. After four years of study abroad, he received the degree of Ph. D. at Göttingen, in 1851.
In 1846, Lane was appointed to conduct the upper Latin classes during the absence of Professor Charles Beck. Upon the resignation of Professor Beck in 1851, Lane was elected University Professor of Latin with no intervening period of probation as a teacher--an unusual procedure, but (as President Eliot said) never better justified.
On the establishment of the Pope Professorship in Latin in 1869, he was transferred to that position. Resigning in 1894 he was made professor emeritus. During forty-three years he was in the active service of Harvard College, of which he was one of the very ablest teachers. His pupils recalled with admiration his originality of thought, never disabled by his seemingly exhaustless memory; his power to inspire them with the love of truth; his insistence on scrupulous accuracy; his felicity of expression, born of his delicate literary taste; and an abounding wit and humor that gave life to every subject of his instruction. Lane was preëminently a teacher--a great teacher through the spoken word.
He wrote relatively little. He contributed articles to the Nation, to the Bibliotheca Sacra and the North American Review, and to the Harvard Studies in Classical Philology. His Latin Pronunciation was published in 1871. He corrected the proof of much of the large Harpers' Latin Dictionary (1879); his counsel and assistance made Charlton T. Lewis' Latin Dictionary for Schools (1889) a more original and trustworthy book.
In 1898 he published his Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges. Highly trained as was his linguistic sense, he was not content unless he could fortify his every statement by his own examination of the materials in all their details. So great indeed was his passion for precision that, after nearly thirty years of labor, the book was completed only after his death, by his pupil, Professor Morris Morgan.
Of special importance is the Syntax, in the treatment of which the author showed that he had imbibed the very spirit of the Latin language and could reproduce in idiomatic translation the shifting tone and the character of the original. Lane was distinguished for great personal charm, geniality, courtliness, and humor. Of his humor one specimen is still remembered--the "Lay of the Lone Fishball, " a ballad of which he was himself the hero.

Quotes from others about the person
Of the "Latin Grammar", Professor Gildersleeve said that it "will abide not only as a repertory of important facts and a repository of acute observations but as a monument of literary art and sympathetic interpretation" (Morison, post, p. 39).
Lane was married in 1857 to Frances Eliza Gardiner, who died in 1876; in 1878 to Mrs. Fanny (Bradford) Clark.
