Excerpt: ...many souls be saved;' and, having said this, he lay down and was carried on to St. Maria degli Angeli. On the evening of the 4th of October his death was revealed at the very hour to the bishop of Assisi on Mount Sarzana."-Crowe and Cavalcasella. in any case, the meaning of the entire system of work remains unchanged, as I have given it above. THE FOURTH MORNING. THE VAULTED BOOK. As early as may be this morning, let us look for a minute or two into the cathedral: -I was going to say, entering by one of the side doors of the aisles;-but we can't do anything else, which perhaps might not strike you unless you were thinking specially of it.

Nevertheless, look a little longer. But the longer you look, the less you will understand why I tell you to look. It is nothing but a whitewashed ceiling: vaulted indeed, -but so is many a tailor's garret window, for that matter.
