DANTE AND OTHER WANING CLASSICS. By Albert Mordell, cloth, $1.00 net. GEORGE BRANDES, the world's greatest living literary critic, wrote to the author after reading this book: "If I originally had any scruples against your fundamental idea, these scruples completely ceased when I thoroughly examined the execution of your plan. Now I am of your opinion. It is necessary to say once for all that these books of past times no longer correspond to our intellectual needs. You have had the courage to say it frankly. Even if they attack it at present, in the future, and not at all in a distant future, they will be grateful to you for having said it."
