Excerpt from Stories From Dante "Florence, the most famous and most beauteous daughter of Rome." Dante. "O foster-nurse of man s abandoned glory, Since Athens, its great mother, sunk in splendour; Thou shadowest forth that mighty shape in story, As ocean its wrecked fanes, severe yet tender: The light-invested angel Poesy Was drawn from the dim world to welcome thee." Shelley. Florence, on the river Arno, which has been noted for centuries as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, had, when our story begins, but few of the churches, palaces, and public buildings, decorated with sculpture and frescoes, which were afterwards to make her famous. Her citizens, however, were proud of their town and were continually rebuilding it and extending their borders as their wealth and numbers increased. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries they began to employ the wandering, or "Free" masons, and the sculptors and painters, who, travelling over Europe, erected cathedrals, churches, and stately palaces, as they went.

Excerpt from Introduction to Dante's Inferno The mcious holding of certain opinions is often the cause of divorce between logic and action, erasing from the mind all that was patiently learned in the hard school of experience. And so it comes to pass that some do still persist in making the great Tuscan say what he neither meant, nor thought of saying. They waste a prodigious amount of erudition and energy to confinetothenarrowlimits ofanepoch, orseriesof epochs, that which was intended to apply to all times.

Excerpt from The Vision, or Hell, Purgatory and Paradise of Dante Alighieri In one or two of those editions is to be found the title of The Vision which I have adopt ed, as more conformable to the genius of our language than that of The Divine Comedy. Dante himself, I believe, termed it simply The Comedy in the first place, because the style was of the middle kind; and in the next, be cause the story (if story it may be called) ends happily.

Excerpt from The Life of Dante IN the fourteen years which have elapsed since the appearance of Dean Plumptre's Life of Dante a good deal of labour has been bestowed upon the investigation of points connected with the history of the poet and his times; and it may be doubted whether the accomplished author himself would still be prepared to main tain all the positions which his enthusiasm for his subject then led him to take up. At all events it was thought that, another edition being walled for, something might be done in the way of pruning down a little of the some what exuberant conjecture in which the Dean, after the fashion of an earlier school of bio graphers, was apt to indulge. This has been done very sparingly; and a good deal has been left which the present editor is by no means prepared to endorse; but it is hoped that in.

At thirty-five years of age, in accordance with the saying of the Psalmist, The days of our age are threescore years and ten, ' Ps. Xc. To. Dante was born in 1265, and consequently his conversion, ' which was the turning-point of his spiritual life, and which he ascribes to the effect of his Vision upon him, took place in I 300. This date was a marked one, both in the history of the time, as being the great year of Jubilee, and in Dante's career, since it was the year of his Priorate at Florence.

Excerpt from Dante Alighieri This little book lays no claim to originality, and makes no pretence to learning or research. It is addressed rather to the so-called general reader than to the serious Dante student. The narrative is taken largely from the pages of Villani, Boccaccio, and from other similar sources. The reader will find fiction (at any rate from the critics point of view) as well as fact in these pages, but he will, I hope, be at no loss to distinguish between the two. The legends and traditions which hang around the name of a great personality are a not unimportant element in bis biography, and may sometimes serve to place him as well as, if not better than, the more sober estimates of the serious historian. I have not, therefore, thought it outside the scope of this sketch of Dante's life to include some of the anecdotes which at an early date began to he associated with bis name, though certain of them demonstrably belong to a far earlier period.
