MEISTERWERKE IN TASCHENAUSGABEN
With Introductions by Richard M. Meyer,
Professor at Berlin University.
This series is intended to supply readers of German with some of the greatest works of German literature, and these only, printed in an attractive, handy, and cheap form in accordance with English tastes, but edited by a great German critic.
The volumes are printed in Roman type; as there is no doubt the study of German in this country has been much hindered hitherto by fear of damage to the eyes from reading Gothic type.
Ready.
1.--Goethe. Die Wahlverwandschaften.
2.--Ludwig. Zwischen Himmel und Erde.
In Preparation.
3.--Schiller. Der Geisterseher und andere Erzählungen.
Others will follow.
Price of each volume:
cloth, gilt top, 1s. net; leather limp, gilt top, 2s. net;
postage 2d. extra.

DIE MEISTERSTÜCKE
DER DEUTSCHEN LYRIK
With Introductions and Notes by
Richard M. Meyer,
Professor at Berlin University.
This new series will contain only the finest lyrics in the German language. Believing that, other things being equal, a native critic is the best judge of his country's writers, the publishers have entrusted the editing of the series to Dr. Meyer, of Berlin University, one of the most eminent living authorities on German literature. The format is uniform with that of "Les Chefs-d'Œuvre de la Poésie lyrique française," which have already proved very successful, not least in France itself.
Ready.
1.--Die Meisterstücke des deutschen Volks- und Kirchenliedes.
2.--Die Meisterstücke der vorgoethischen Lyrik.
3-4.--Die lyrischen Meisterstücke von Goethe. Zwei Bände.

Price of each volume:
in parchment cover, 6d. net; in cloth, 1s. net;
in leather, 2s. net; postage, 1d. extra.
