Excerpt from Illustrations of German Poetry, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notes Thus the Analysis, which at first was to have been printed as an appendix, will now form a sort of preface to the first specimen in this collection and, though stripped of its graphic accompaniments, still serve to convey, as it may be hoped, some increased interest; together with a clearer insight into the subject. The Introduction, which follows, will briefly explain the author's views of translation in general; and the whole - though in a partial manner - pourtray some of the leading features of German poetry; partly by metrical versions, and partly by short notices in prose.
