Specimens Of German Roamnce PDF Download

Excerpt from Specimens of German Romance, Vol. 1 of 3 When the translator commenced this work, it was with the intention of carrying it on through many volumes, and thus presenting a complete circle of German romance. In such a work, it must be obvious that much must be hazarded, for the very nature of it allows of no compromise with English tastes and feelings, and demands that the several tales should be selected with reference to their popularity amongst Germans. Circumstances, not necessary to be detailed, have interrupted this project, and it is mentioned only to account for the appearance of a tale from Hoffman, which would not have found a place in this collection, had the translator deemed that the present volumes would be the limit of his labours.
