The First Part of Goethe's Faust. Hayward's Translation. Revised, with

Introduction by C. A. Buchheim, Ph.D. (Bell and Sons.)—Professor Buchheim has gone thoroughly into the trans- lation, now sixty years old, which the late Mr. Hayward published. It is, in his judgment, a meritorious work, though it needed not a little correction. The translator sometimes made mistakes, and his criticism was not always apposite or enlightened. The editor has added a " General Survey of the Faust Legend," and a list of books which the student will find useful. The German and the English versions are printed on opposite pages.
