Ebook The Ear of Dionysius

My typed note on the Willett Script of Aug. 26, 1910, is as follows: 'dionysius' Ear the lobe is unintelligible to me. A. W. V. Says it is the name of a place at Syracuse where D. Could overhear conversations. This makes clear what was instantly recalled to me on hearing the Willett Script of Jan. 10, that I did not know, or had forgotten, what the Ear of Dion ysius was, and that I asked A. W. V. To ex plain it. I cannot say whether on that occasion he asked What is the use of a classical edu cation? But he expressed considerable surprise at my ignorance, and the phrase of the script recalls — though it does not, I think, reproduce similar remarks of his on like occasions.
