Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Life of Carl Ritter

Little need be said here that is not told more folly in the book itself. That the volume is not larger is not owing to the lack of materials, but in great part to my conviction that the character of Ritter can be made quite as distinct drawn on this as on a larger scale. Should the work meet with the favour which the nature of the theme far more than the execution of the task is calculated to win, I purpose to follow it within a year or two with a volume of letters from the pen of my late teacher, descriptive of his numerous journeys, and illustrative of his life while Professor in Berlin.
