Excerpt from Einer Muss Heiraten! Und, Eigensinn The notes in this edition contain little translation, the vocabulary, as a rule, giving all the help needed in this direction by means of reference to the text. They deal almost exclusively with syntax and idiom, and are intended for the elementary student in high school or college who needs a review of old difli culties and explanation of new ones. Mere translation of an idiom, with no understanding of its raz'son d'e'tre, postpones indefinitely the time when the learner can make it his. Accordingly reference is made to the notes under the keyword in the vocabulary, which thus serves as an index. Alexander Victor Wilhelmi, as he called himself (his real name having been Zechmeister), is chicfly remembered as the author of Ether musz 11a'ra/erz. He was born 1817, educated in Vienna, where he did not quite complete the Gymnasium course, and was then apprenticed to a bookseller. He left this calling in 1842 to go on the stage. From 1845 to 1849 he played at the Hamburg Stadttheater. In the latter year he went to Dresden, where the rest of his career was spent. In 1876 failing health sent him to the Tyrol, where he died the following year. As an actor, chiefly of minor parts, Wilhelmi was a favorite with the theater-going public. He wrote a number of good one-act comedies and also essayed longer plays, but with indifferent success. His Lustspiele were published in 4 vols., Dresden, 1853-1860.
