Excerpt from Minna Von Barnhelm, Oder Das Soldatengluck: Lustspiel in Funf Aufzugen The Bibliography at the end contains a list of the authors consulted in writing the Introduction and notes. Wherever I have quoted verbatim I have given proper credit; but wherever I have only used the information and hints contained in the different works read in the preparation it has not been possible to quote authority, as often the thoughts of different writers have been united. Originality in investigations is imperative; but in an introduction to a text-book it is desirable to give the latest information in regard to the author and the work edited. I have therefore freely used the authors mentioned in the Bibliography, and here make this acknowledgment of my indebtedness to them.
