Abstract
A VERY admirable book, by the author of Dante's “Ten Heavens.” Dante was a master of the science of his time, and Mr. Gardner has shown that he has not only carefully studied the “Divina Commedia” from the point of view of literature, but has taken pains to carefully annotate all the references to the then systema mundi on which so much of the action of the poem depends. Diagrams and explanations are given at the end of the book, which will be found most useful by the student.
Dante.
By Edmund G. Gardner “The Temple Primers.” Pp. vi + 159. (Dent, 1900.)
