THE LOST MANUSCRIPT. A Novel. By Gustav 
FREYTAG. Authorised translation. Elegantly bound, $4.00. In 
one volume bound in cloth, good paper, $1.00. 
The author writes as a motto for the American edition: 
‘‘A noble human life does not end on earth with death. It continues in 
the minds and the deeds of friends, as well as in the thoughts and the activity 
of the nation.” 
Gustav Freytag did not write his novel with the intention of teaching psy- 
chology or preaching ethics. But the impartial description of life does teach 
ethics, and every poet is a psychologist in the sense that he portrays human 
souls. This is pre-eminently true of Gustav Frey.ag and his novel ‘‘ The Lost 
Manuscript.”
