These " Letters between Schiller and Goethe" are a record 

 kept by friendship of the habitual feelings and thoughts of two 

 great poets. If the translator has adequately executed his grate- 

 ful task, he will have the pleasure of opening to the American 

 and English reader the richest epistolary treasure that literature 

 contains. There is no other instance of affectionate union be-? 

 tween two men of such genius, intellect, and culture. 



" In perusing this delightful work, we gather many new ideas upon the I 

 ^ writings of the great men of other times." U. S. Gazette. 



s " This is a beautiful volume, which literary men must always look over 

 < with interest" The JVortA American. 



" A most delightful work, that will instruct as well as amuse." Providence 

 Journal. 



" This volume, as soon as known, must be ecgerly sought for by every one 

 ( for its very excellence ; the translator does not exaggerate hi calling this the 

 richest epistolary treasure that literature contains." Richmond Time*. 



"Those who seek into the true philosophy of great minds will find ample 

 compensation in the perusal of these letters, remarkable alike for the breadth 

 and variety of thought they involve, as well as the vastness of subjects, often 

 handled by these great men with the familiarity of boys whipping a top or 

 flying a kite. 



" These letters are full of heart and soul such letters as might be expected 

 to pass between two affectionate friends. They are full of the highest order 

 of genius genius which has rarely been equalled in modern times. They are 

 full of the German mind are marked by those striking peculiarities of thought 

 which distinguish the Germans from every other nation on earth." American 

 Citizen. 



" Epistolary literature contains no richer treasure. To minds like theirs, \ 

 every department of science, literature, religion, and philosophy, possessed an ' 

 engrossing interest ; and in their cordial and confidential effusions, all these i 

 topics are discussed and illustrated with unsurpassed profundity of thought > 

 and comprehensiveness of knowledge. 



" The translator has executed his task as one who performs a labor that ha 

 loves." Journal of Commerce. 



"The work is one that none can read without an expansion of thought, and 

 without feeling that here is most unequivocally rebutted the scandal that 

 asserts that men of literature are deficient in hearty appreciation of the talents 

 and productions of each other." Evening Gazette. 



" Every one who knows any thing of the history of modern literature, knows 

 that Schiller and Goethe are among the brightest names by which it is em 

 blazoned. And in this volume we are permitted to catch a glance at the 

 . friendly and delightful intercourse which they held with each other, during 

 .' the period in which each shone with the brightest lustre. The letters are 

 ' characterized by all the ease of the most unsuspecting confidence, and by a 

 ' grace and fascination which must entrance every admirer of genius. They are 

 ' perfectly unstudied efforts, and show us how gracefully great minds can occa- 

 I skmally come down to little things. There is not a page, or scarcely a paragraph, 

 i in which we do not discover the breathings of superlative genius." 

 ) Mvertiter.
