MoreEast, standing on the last ridge of the last hill, sees a city, and in awe contemplates the walls tabulous with terraces and gates, the domes and the towers clothed mall the light of the heavens, so does the imaginative reader view the vast sections into which the Human Comedy is so eloquently divided scenes from private life, scenes from provincial life, scenes from Parisian life, scenes from political life, scenes from military life, scenes from country life, philosophical studies, analytical studies. These are the streets and thoroughfares which intersect and divide this great city of thought; below each division the titles of the volumes rise like spires and pinnacles, and unconsciously the reader passes from story to story like a sightseer through palaces and gardens inexhaustible. Jonah marched three days into Nineveh before he began to preach :N ineveh was little compared with the Human Comedy.
