TRANSLATED BY

A want has long been felt and often expressed by different writers for a complete English edition of Heine’s works. That this has never been done is the more remarkable, because Heine is, next to Goethe, the most universally popular author in Germany, and one who, although he termed himself an unlicked Teutonic savage, wrote in a style and manner which have made him a leading favourite in all countries.
The first volume will be the Reisebilder, or Pictures of Travel, probably the most brilliant and entertaining, while at the same time the most instructive or thought-inspiring work of its kind ever written; to be followed by II., Florentine Nights, Schnabelewopski, and The Rabbi of Bacharach; and III., The Book of Songs. Other volumes will be announced later.
Dr. Garnett is preparing a “Life of Heine,” which will be uniform with this edition of Heine’s works.
A Large Paper Edition will be printed, limited to one hundred and fifty copies, numbered, and signed by the translator.
Now Ready.
In Two Volumes 8vo, £3, 13s. 6d.
