Reseña del editor

The first edition of this work was published in theD ublin University Press Series, by the favour of the University authorities, and the author has availed himself of the leisure, which a Judicial Office has given him, to endeavour to make it more worthy of his honoured A lm.a Mater. The Prelude at the -T heatre is given in the original edition; but, as the Prelude is not a ;part of the Tragedy, and is only a statem.ent of the principles on which the Tragedy is constructed, it has been om,itted to make room, for theS cene in theS econd Part which describes theD eath ofF aust, and virtually completes the story. The views enunciated as to the Tim of A ction, theS equence of theS cenes, the character of theD ramatis Persona, and the general Moral of the Tragedy, may be singular, but they have one recommendation they remove all the objections that have been advanced against Goethe by his critics.
