  PREFACE TO THE FIRST GERMAN EDITION. Errors and inconsistencies in punctuation have been attributed to printer’s errors, and corrected. The Greek circumflex, which appears in the text as an inverted breve (^), is rendered here using a tilde (~). Please note the publisher’s decision to place footnotes at the bottom of each page, as well as the author’s note on this topic in the Preface. In keeping with his intent, footnotes have been moved to the end of this file. The cover image has been modified to include the volume number, and is placed in the public domain. Please consult the notes at the bottom of this text for more details on the handling of textual issues. WORKS CYPARISSUS. From the German by Mary J. Safford. One vol., paper, 50 cts.; cloth, 75 cts.
