This series is intended to meet the demand for accessible information on the ordinary conditions, and the current terms, of our political life. Ignorance of these not only takes from the study of history the interest which comes from a contact with practical politics, but, still worse, it unfits men for their place as intelligent citizens. The series will deal with the details of the machinery whereby our Constitution works, and the broad lines upon which it has been constructed.

[1]Dante's Divine Comedy, the Inferno; a literal Prose Translation, with the Text of the Original.ByJ.A. Carlyle, M.D., London: 1849. I have never quite forgiven myself for not having said more of the unpretending but honest and most useful volume which stood at the head of this essay when it first appeared as an article. It was placed there, according to what was then a custom of article writers, as a peg to hang remarks upon which might or might not be criticisms of the particular book so noticed. It did not offer itself specially to my use, and my attention was busy with my own work. But this was no excuse for availing myself of a good book, and not giving it the notice which it deserved. To an English student beginning Dante, and wishing to study him in a scholarly manner, it is really more useful than a verse translation can be; and I have always greatly regretted that the plan of translating the whole work was dropped for want of the appreciation which the first instalment ought to have had. (1878.)

[37]These notices have been carefully collected byPelli, who seems to have left little to glean (Memorie, &c. Ed. 2da, 1823). A few additions have been made byGerini(Mem. Stor. della Lunigiana), andTroya(Veltro Allegorico), but they are not of much importance.Arrivabene(Secolo di Dante) has brought together a mass of illustration which is very useful, and would be more so, if he were more careful, and quoted his authorities.Balboarranges these materials with sense and good feeling; though, as a writer, he is below his subject. A few traits and anecdotes may be found in the novelists—as Sacchetti.

[44]By ocean's shore we still prolonged our stayLike men, who, thinking of a journey near,Advance in thought, while yet their limbs delay.—Wright.

[50]O ye who fain would listen to my song,Following in little bark full eagerlyMy venturous ship, that chanting hies along,Turn back unto your native shores again;Tempt not the deep, lest haply losing me,In unknown paths bewildered ye remain.I am the first this voyage to essay;Minerva breathes—Apollo is my guide;And new-born muses do the Bears display.Ye other few, who have look'd up on highFor angels' food betimes, e'en here suppliedLargely, but not enough to satisfy,—Mid the deep ocean ye your course may take,My track pursuing the pure waters through,Ere reunites the quickly-closing wake.Those glorious ones, who drove of yore their prowTo Colchos, wonder'd not as ye will do,When they saw Jason working at the plough.Wright'sDante.
