More is required than any single comment affords, and among the books which may be commended, but which must be read with discrimination, are: A Shadow of Dante, by Miss M. F. Rossetti, London, 1871; A Companion to Dante from the German of Scartazzini, by A. J. Butler, London, 1893 (valuable, but with much questionable speculation and interpretation); Dante's Divine Comedy, its Scope and Value, by Hettinger, translated by Bowden, London, 1887 (interesting, but not always trustworthy); the essays on Dante by Lowell, Church, Caird and Carlyle, in their respective works...

This is followed by some seventy pages of fiction, tales of shooting and fishing, and other sporting articles. "Canoeing on the Merrimac" by I. N. Drake is a bright and entertaining account of a two weeks canoe trip. Allen Chamberlain gives us an account of a novel expedition in "Hunting a Tapir." The story of the hunt is not exciting, but it is well written and is pleasant reading. A couple of bicycling articles are "A Wheel to San Gabriel at Easter...
