Présentation de l'éditeur

Dante sbirth. Longfellow wrote that he used to read Dante on first awaking, as his morning prayer; and when he lost his beloved wife it was in the study of Dante that he sought consolation and relief. Many A mericans, besides the friends and disciples of Longfellow, have come under the spell of Dante. It is not possible to mention them all, but I must refer to James Russell Lowell of Harvard University, of whom my fellow Senator, Franceso Ruffini, wrote that his essay on Dante is of all American studies the one which shows the deepest knowledge and understanding of the history, literature and spirit of our fourteenth century. In order to acquaint Italians with the contribution that America has made to the studies on Dante, the eminent archeologist, Giacomo Boni, who has dedicated the best part of his life to restoring to their former shape the Forum and the Palatine, has recently published an article in our review, La Nuova A ntologia, in which he enumerated the many studies on Dante which have at various times appeared in A merica. The association of ideas now brings me from Dante to Lord Bryce. I am an old friend and a great admirer of Lord Bryce, whose life as a scholar, as a writer, and as a statesman has been entirely spent in the furthering of noble and generous ideals. When he speaks, one thinks of Thomas Moore sbeautiful verses, On whose burning tongue Peace, freedom, and justice hung.
