Chapter 24

[Footnote 3: The controversial character of Dante's genius, and the discordant estimate formed of it in so many respects by different writers, have already carried the author of this book so far beyond his intended limits, that he is obliged to refer for evidence in the cases of Ugolino and Francesca to Balbo, _Vita di Dante_ (Napoli, 1840), p. 33; and to Troya, _Del Vettro Allegorico di Dante_ (Firenze, _1826), pp. 28, 32, and 176.]
