Excerpt from Gedichte IT is the Publisher's object in issuing the present vol ume of Schiller's poems, complete in German and English, including his early suppressed pieces, and others, both with the alterations, and also as they originally appeared in the Horen, musen-almanach, Thalia and elsewhere, to familiarize the American public with the products of a mind, pure as the purest, good as the best.

He preposes to do this, by presenting an edition, which, in elegance and correctness, shall vie with that of a Cotta or a Pickering, and yet be within the reach of all. What he has already done in this beautiful field of literature, deserves the appreciation and recognition of every judge and lover of Poetry, - Poetry as distinguished from Poet astry, as Schiller, the Century-plant, is from the thou sand Jingling dilettanti, the first scentless Violets of Spring - for the world were the worse without them. The (wing monument the Publisher has thus reared to the pure and honest Swabian, we hepe to see soon succeeded by the marble block, modeled by an American, who, though not a l'hidias, may he be another Thorwaldsen, Canova, or Rauch, destined to adorn our beautiful Park, the pride of every Philadelphian, thus enriching, with works of Art, the picturesque scene, so exquisitely drawn by Nature.
