  Produced by Al Haines. AT THE COUNCILLOR'S; OR, A NAMELESS HISTORY. BY E. MARLITT. TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN TRANSLATOR OF "THE GREEN GATE," "THE SECOND WIFE," "ONLY A GIRL," PHILADELPHIA: Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1876, by NOTE. In Germany, the title of "Councillor" (Rath) can be purchased by those who achieve a certain eminence in their several walks of life, or it may be conferred as an honour by the Prince or King. The merchant who gives the name to this romance is thus "Councillor of Commerce," a compound word so unwieldy in English that the translator preferred to render "In the house of the Councillor of Commerce" by "At the Councillor's."
