Mr, Mosby has written as only a lover of great men and good literature can write. His language is classic and scholarly. He gives his reader, glimpses of the world’s finest liter- ature and introduces him to the old and the new authors. All the romance, alf the glamour, 'the power, the beauty, and the trag- edy of the pagan and Christian lit- erature seems to have been caught by Mr. Mosby and carefully packed into this series of condensed essays. \Something of the author’s pleasing style can be scen in his following introduction of Homer: “The preponderance of legendary history, however, indicates “that Smyrna was the birthplace of Ho- mer.

Homer today is just-as ancient book in the world: He has supplied for all ages the one grand Lucan and Ovid; among the Italtans! are Dante, Petrareh, Boceaccio, Tas- so, and Ariosto; among the Spanish and Portuguese are Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Comgens, Quevedo, andj Argensolas; among the French Mon- | taigne, Rabelais, Fenelon, Montes-| quieu and Corneille; among the Ger- mans Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Kant and Richter; among the Brit- ish Shakespeare, Spencer, Milton,| ‘Addison and Pope. While the book contains but 285 pages, the compact style adopted by the author in writing, his masterly use of the English language, and the care which he has exercised in the selection of the méterial which he has chosen to present is such that the book appears very complete, fill- ed, in fact, with entertaining read- ing as well as instructive material.)
