Excerpt from Goethe's Faust, Vol. 1
Although this work does not require many additions, it having been only a few years since the second edition appeared, yet its size has made necessary a division into two separate volumes, in which form it is now published. The First Volume deals with the development of Faust literature up to Goethe's time. The Second Volume takes up the origin, the idea, and the composition of Goethe's Faust.
