Excerpt from The First Part of Goethe's Faust: Together With the Prose Translation, Notes and Appendices of the Late Abraham Hayward, Q. C As regards the Notes, I have cut out from them every thing which seemed to me irrelevant, and have corrected or supplemented occasionally those which I have left. I have, however, done still more than was first projected. In order not to leave the reader entirely in the dark regarding some rather perplexing and abstruse pas sages, I have inserted a number of original notes. To annotate the text completely would have swelled this volume to double its size; but to enable earnest readers of the tragedy to make a thorough study of it, I have drawn up a short list of books which will be found very serviceable for the purpose.
