attraction. When Mr.. Snider speaks Of the distance
between the empyrean and the Place where Satan
is frozen in as equal to the diameter Of the uni
verse he makes a serious bunder In Dantean cos
moogy The distance was equal to the radius of
the Ptolemaic universe. Dante simply could not
have imprisoned the dcvil anywhere except in the
centre of the universe. since that was the point
where the adversary would be furthest from the
all-embracng Deity.
The book is respectfully printed and is calculated
to awaken interest in Dante among people who
have probably paid him little auention hitherto.

Under the sunsets flush and the pald. faint
glimmer OF dawn
Shadowy ghost-lke shores. where midnight surp
Thunders Of wintry woe over the spaces wan.
Lands that loom like spectres. whited regions Of
Wastes OF desolate woods. deserts OF water ana
A world OF winter and death. within these regions

Miles and miles Of lake far out under the ngnti
Foaming crests of waves, surfs that s"ore"S'~
shadowy shapes that flee. haunting the spaces

Lonely hidden bays. moont ice.rimmed' ,wnding'
Frnged by forests and crags, haunted py shaa'
owy shores; - A.. ,-...
flushed from the outward strife where the mighty
