are woont to fall in Spaine. The snow and cold are woont to be great, for so say the inhabitants of the Countrey: and it is very likely so to bee, both in respect to the maner of the Countrey, and by the fashion of their houses, and their furres and other things which this people haue to defend them from colde. There is no kind of fruit nor trees of fruite. The Countrey is all plaine, and is on no side mountainous: albeit there are some hillie and bad passages. There are small store of Foules: the cause whereof is the colde, and because the mountaines are not neere. Here is no great store of wood, because they haue wood for their fuell sufficient foure leagues off from a wood of small Cedars. There is most excellent grasse within a quarter of a league hence, for our horses as well to feede them in pasture, as to mowe and make hay, whereof wee stoode in great neede, because our horses came hither so weake and feeble. The victuals which the people of this countrey haue, is Maiz,

ard, to permit the mole to avoid obstacles, and by lessening its rigidity increase the ease of traction. Fig. 3207 is a tile-laying mole-plow. The cutter-bar is pivoted to the carriage, and adjustable to vary the presentation of its foot by means of an upper beam to which it is attached and braced. A mole trails behind the cutter-foot, and by means of a cord, hooks, and crossbar the tiles are drawn in behind the mole. A mole-plow for laying tiles was made about 1850, and exhibited by Foules, the inventor, at the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England of that year. Attached to the mole was a rope, upon which the sections of tile were strung, and the mole as it progressed drew in 300 feet of tiling after it. A hole was dug at each commencement of operations. See drain-tile. It is sometimes drawn by four or six horses, and, perhaps, more often by a rope from a capstan, as in Fig. 3208, in which the capstan is shown anchored in position, and the standard of

iterary Satire, there must surely be counted the Shakespearian and Chaucerian texts and studies which Child did not produce. It was the fortune of Thomas Raynesford Lcunsbury (1838– 1915) to produce studies of both Chaucer and of Shakespeare. In 1870 he was appointed instructor in English in the newly established Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, and in 1871 became professor in charge of the English department. The first fruit of his work in Chaucer was an edition of the Parlement of Foules in 1877. His History of the English language (1879) has gone through many editions and still holds its place as a standard textbook. It was in 1892 that he published the ripe results of his labors upon Chaucer. The studies in Chaucer comprise eight monographs. The first two present Chaucer's biography—one the biography as far as it is established by evidence and duly guarded inference from the documents, the other the mythical biography or Chaucer Legend. This simple and profitable dist

t recognition of Dante is by Chaucer in the Hugelin of Pisa of the Monkes Tale, It is worth notice, as a proof of Chaucer's critical judgment, that he calls Dante the great poet of Itaille, while in the Clerke's Tale he speaks of Petrarch as a worthy clerk, as the laureat poete (alluding to the somewhat sentimental ceremony at Rome), and says that his Rhetorike sweete Enlumined all Itaille of poetry. and an imitation of the opening verses of the third canto of the Inferno (Assembly of Foules). In 1417 Giovanni da Serravalle, bishop of Fermo, completed a Latin prose translation of the Commedia, a copy of which, as he made it at the request of two English bishops whom he met at the council of Constance, was doubtless sent to England. Later we find Dante now and then mentioned, but evidently from hearsay only, It is possible that Sackville may have read the Inferno, and it is certain that Sir John Harrington had. See the preface to his translation of the Orlando Furioso. till
