A recent writer on Lincoln as a
lover OF mankind" has likened him
TO two other great men who have be-
come a common possession OF our
Anglo-Saxon race. Although they
seem almost as far separated from
each other as from Lincoln himself,
both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott
reveal to the careful observer the
qualities that provoked n comparison
apparently so remote. These are the
qualities Of lover Of mankind.
Chaucer displayed them in depict

Of widely various characters who made

only through the creatures Of his I'm

that respect Chaucer is at dlsad-
vantage, because he lived long before

easy to imagine that In the process

But he belonged to no such period.
His age is one of the most amply re-
