Excerpt from Through Hell With Hiprah Hunt: A Series of Pictures and Notes of Travel Illustrating the Adventures of a Modern Dante in the Infernal Regions, Also Other Pictures of the Same Subterranean World
As President of a Dante Club he collected many books on the subject of future retribution. Among them (some 80 volumes) he chiefly prizes Dante's inferno. Whenever he is given an opportunity he will deliver a lecture on Dante and his work. In short. Hell books have so thoroughly absorbed his mind that he becomes convinced that the under-world is as much a reality as the upper one.
As a result of continual thinking on one subject, and that subject a hot one. It was frequently hinted that Mr. Hunt's brains were shrivelling up. Whether that is true or not. He became imbued with the idea that he must find the Infernal Regions and prove to the world that the place is not a myth.
