More Craziness from Google Books

Google Books confuses (and misspells and misdates) John Newbold Hough's Princeton dissertation, The Composition of the "Pseudolus" of Plautus (Lancaster: Lancaster Press, Inc., 1931), with A. Foucher de Careil, Leibniz et Pierre-le-Grand (Paris: Germer Baillière, 1874).

By the way, there seems to be no entry for John Newbold Hough (1906-2000) in the Database of Classical Scholars, although the presentation of that database on the World Wide Web makes it extremely difficult to use (at least for me with the Brave web browser). Hough doesn't deserve oblivion. He taught at the University of Colorado, published many articles (mostly as John N. Hough), and was active in classical circles.
