Note 822 — Chapter VI · THE MAKING OF A GODDESS. (continued 2)

Cook has with great kindness and generosity allowed me to read in proof his article on ‘Zeus, Jupiter and the Oak,’ shortly to be published in the Classical Review.

I am at present unconvinced, but space forbids my entering on the controversy here.
