There are likewise errors of translation, which I should not 

 under ordinary circumstances have deemed it necessary to 

 mention. But I feel bound to show that the preface and 

 advertisements have advanced less even than would have 

 been justifiable. The errors mostly arise from a misconcep- 

 tion of cases, or of the relative to the antecedent noun. The 

 simplest mode of showing this will be to give the German and 

 the two English translations in juxtaposition, marking those 

 words in italics which have given rise to the mistakes.
