Imagination, the sympathies. the finer
feelings and sentiments OF the hui
man heart
The first idea suggested in the
mind by Its perusal. is the rare erudi-

and classical illustration and schol-
arshlp; evincing its authors wide

minds of this and preceding ages,
and especially his thorough Shakes
pearlan scholarship.
II inspires and moves profoundly
by Its depth of feeling, its pathos and
beauty; bringing out with a peculiar
fullness and richness, scholarship,
tenderness, grace and eloquence.
There is in 1t an instinctive-a won
derful knowledge of tho philosophy
OF the human mind. deep apprecia-
ton OF, and sympathy with, the ten
