Excerpt from Handbook of German Literature: Containing Schiller's Maid of Orleans, Goethe's Iphigenia in Tauris, Tieck's Puss in Boots, the Xenia by Goethe and Schiller; With Critical Introductions and Explanatory Notes, to Which Is Added an Appendix of Specimens of German Prose
To these volumes I must (for the present at least) like wise refer the reader for further information respecting the writers, from whom I have given the specimens of German prose contained in the Appendix. To furnish such informa tion (biographical and critical) myself, and to introduce those authors, as I have introduced these in the main part of the work, would have been as great a source of pleasure to my self, as it might have been of interest and profit to the stu dent. The limits assigned to the volume, however, made the feasibility of such an undertaking questionable, while my absentment from my library towards the close of my work (for reasons which the gentle reader may perchanco learn hereafter) made it altogether impossible, for this first edition at least.
