A valuable work has recently been
added to the State library. "The Dr.
vine Comedy" translated by Prof.
Henry Johnson Of Bowdoin College.
The excellence Of this new translation
of Dante is voiced in lengthy review
in The Nation, which is very compli-
mentary as the following sentences
will show: "Mr. Johnson's translation
is. like Longfellow's in line for line
blank verse. The comparison thus in
inevitably suggested honors both men,"
and 1.-The greater part Of the task Is
we'll done, and there are many lines
and tercets Of notable beauty and
power Moreover. the workmanship
rises when the content is most poetic
SO that the finest passages are admir-
ably rendered"
