Excerpt from Wit, Wisdom, and Pathos, From the Prose of Heine: With a Few Pieces From the Book of Songs IN preparing a Second Edition of these translations from Heine's prose, the volume as it originally stood has been revised, line by line, and word by word. It would be saying too much to call this Edition a new version, but, whatever be its worth, the revision has been made with the utmost care. The reception of the First Edi tion was so cordial, that the Translator felt the duty im posed ou him of endeavouring to render the transla tions as worthy as he could of the vigour and the beauty of the original.
