Part III

.--From Pope to the Present Day.=

“The book bears witness on every page to having been written by one whose mind was overflowing with information, and whose heart was in abounding sympathy with his work. Mr. Jusserand possesses pre-eminently the modern spirit of inquiry, which has for its objects the attainment of truth and a comprehension of the beginnings of things and of the causes that have brought about effects.”--_New York Times._
