_The Spectator_ says:--"No man aiming at literary reputation can
     think his education complete unless he studies Dante, in
     translations or in the original. No book about Dante has been
     published in England that will stand comparison with Dean
     Plumptre's. He deserves the gratitude of all true lovers of good
     literature for writing it. We have nothing further to say of it
     except that, take it for all in all, the only fitting epithet we
     can find for it is 'noble'; and that we do most heartily wish it
     all the success which it richly deserves."

     _The Saturday Review_ says:--"The Dean of Wells may be
     congratulated upon the completion of his labour of love.... In the
     English rendering of the _Paradiso_, as well as in the notes to
     that portion of the poem, the Dean's profound and intimate
     acquaintance with the theology of the Middle Ages has given him a
     great advantage over other translators and commentators.... For
     students of Dante, the 'Studies' will be found most valuable and
     interesting. A large quantity of material has been collected and
     arranged as it only could have been by one thoroughly conversant
     with his subject, and giving his best abilities and affections to
     the accomplishment of his work."

     _The Record_ says:--"Conceived in the lofty and generous spirit of
     a true scholar. Nowhere will the cultivated English Christian find
     so much help as this work will give him in understanding and
     enjoying the message of Dante to men. The second volume deepens the
     impression made by the first. The parts interlace as well as
     complete each other; the volumes are two, the book is one. The Dean
     'stands on his achievement.' It is no unworthy pedestal."

     _The Academy_ says:--"The whole work is a monument of many years'
     devoted study; it is illustrated throughout by an unusual range of
     reading and culture in other fields of literature; and it is
     accompanied by a most copious and valuable index of subjects and
     names."
