Scope and content

Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Asks if he has construed a line of Italian [used by D'Annunzio as epigraph to "La Gioconda"] correctly: says it's nonsense', but may do for his syllabus [Extension lectures]. Is reading [Samuel] Butler's essays, having re-read "Erewhon", which he believes is tremendous though he knows Trevelyan disagrees.

      Note

      'Cosa mortal bella passa, e non d'arte' is apparently a transcription error for '...e non dura'; see McCurdy, Edward Alexander Coles, & McCurdy, Edward. (1928). The mind of Leonardo da Vinci. London, p. 176.
