Abstract
THIS little book belongs to a collection of volumes on “natural science” published in the series known as the “Universal Bibliothek,” which is so familiar to students of German literature in this country, and which, in Germany, by providing, at the lowest possible cost, translations of the masterpieces of foreign literature, has helped to make the best books in many languages known to all classes of readers. The price of the usual small volume or “unit” of about a hundred pages is 20 pf.: a number of such units may make one book; thus the “Nibelungenlied” extends to four “units,” and may be bought for about tenpence. Three units go to make the present volume, which is illustrated by seventy-five drawings in the text, and, in addition, four coloured plates—as well as a photograph of the author—all well printed.
