Excerpt from Undine, or the Water-Spirit: Also, Sintram and His Companions The reader Will allow me to observe, in closing these brief notices, that. Upported as well by my own feeling as by the judgment of Menzel, Cole ridge, and, I may add, by the general voice of criticism, I view undine not only as a work of art, but as something far superior, an exquisite creation of genius. If I have failed to do justice to her peculiar traits, in thus intro ducing her to him in the costume of our language, it is not owing to want of admiration, or of studiously endeavoring to be faithful to my trust; and, aware of the difficulty of presenting her the vision of beauty that Fouque found her, he will forgive the fond impulse of my ambition.

She does not come as a stranger, - she has already been more than once greeted with favour; still, wide as may be her fame in the world of letters, she seems, as yet, to be more talked of in the world of common readers, than, if I may so Speak, snown in person. To all lovers of the imaginative, therefore, - to every Simple, affectionate, and wonder-loving heart, - hor fortunes are again committed.
