This gentleman will carry with him to his home in New York the best wishes of the many Ann Arbor people whom he led through wonderland in Hobart hall during hia stay here. In his three lectures last week, he took his hearers along the lines marked out by Dante's wonderiul imagination. One evening was given up to heil ; the second to purgatory ; and the third to heaven. The stereoptioon views were, of course, an indispensable feaiure of such lectures ; but Dante's life and temper, his theology, and the meaning of his great " Divina Commedia," were well told. Rivalling those lectures in interest, and far more interesting to many, was his lecture Honday evening on " Westminister Abbey." Mr. Eccleston was well acquainted with Dean Stanley, and enjoyed great advantages for learning about that great building which containg English history for many centuries. The origin, history, architecture, and the great dead it contains, were all told, and beautifully i)lu-rtrated.
