PARADISE 3 vols. crown 8vo, gilt top, $4.50 HIS new edition of Professor Norton's translation of the Divine Comedy gathers up the results of minute revision extending over several years. The translation has undergone many slight changes, which in the aggregate give a closer and more faithful reflection of Dante's meaning and a more rhythmic English version. In its final form this translation of the masterpiece of Italian literature exemplifies Professor Norton's scrupulous scholarship, his high zeal, and his exquisite sense for language. Professor Norton's experience in his Dante classes has called his attention to the need of various new explanatory notes, which are here added. It is not only a model of accuracy and sympathetic imagination in reflecting a great poet's vision, but is in itself a notable contribution to literature.

Mr. Hamilton W. Mabie says: I have read it with the greatest interest, and I wish that I could get it into the hands of every young man and woman of our country, so important do I think Dante's teaching for the men of our time, and so clear, direct, and attractive do I find the interpretation of Dante's thought.
