A STUDY OF 1fILToN's PARADISE LOST. BY JOHN
A. HINES. 12mO, PIP 2S7. J. B. Bppineott Co.
In this volume, Professor Hines, Of Penn
sylvania College, presents a critical and aesthetic
treatise on the construction imagery, mythology, and
machinery of Paradise Lost, intended TO furnish clue
for the advanced student OF Milton to the recOnde
significance and exquisite beauties Of his immortal poem
The attention the author has been more particularly
directed TO Miltons theory concerning supernatural
beings and events and the aegorcal features which
largely enter into the substance OF his poetry without
attempting 10 follow tho steps Of previous critics.
such as Addison, johnson, COeridge, Lander, and
Mason Professor Hines has drawn his conclusions from
his personal studies and researches and they always
original and ingenious, though they may often fail TO
gam the assent Of the intelligent reader As
the fruit OF profound inquiry and patient labor,
they challenge the attention Of the admrer
of Milton the subtle beauties OF whose larger poems
so often yelled by the Obscurty Of his illustrations,
less than by the intrcacy Of his dctiOn. The author
presents some forcibe comments the recent repre-
sentaton Millions theory Of the creation by Professor
Huxley denying the assertion Of the eloquent lecturer
that the mistaken ideas Of modern times which will not
Yield 70 the evidence scientific research derived
from Milton and not from Moses Professor Himes's
treatment of the subject as rule Is vigorous and eec
tive He closely follows Milton in the details OF his
sve erudtion presents acute analysis OF the orgu-
ment OF his sublime imagnings, and approaches the
hidden sense Of his obscure revelations with sincere
faith aud deep reverence.
