SECOND EDITION CAREFULLY REVISED

For the selection of marginal references to the works of Dante the Editor and Translator are jointly responsible.
Both Translator and Editor desire to express their obligations to Mr. A.J. Butler, who has given them his ungrudging assistance in every difficulty, and whose learning and judgment have been invaluable.


It is probable that many more references to Dante's works might advantageously have been inserted in the margin had they occurred to our minds; and we shall be glad to have our attention called to any important omissions.
