TO

THE VISCOUNT HALDANE OF CLOAN,
LORD CHANCELLOR OF GREAT BRITAIN.

MY DEAR CHANCELLOR,—AS THE "ONLY BEGETTER" OF THIS BOOK, IT SEEMS ALMOST OBLIGATORY THAT IT SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR NAME.

THE AUTHOR.

GOETHE'S BIOGRAPHIE.

"Anfangs ist es ein Punkt der leise zum Kreise sich öffnet,
Aber, wachsend, umfasst dieser am Ende die Welt."
Friedrich Hebbel.

"In the beginning a point that soft to the circle expandeth,
But the circle at length, growing, enclaspeth the world."
