Chiller's Lied van der Glocke, while pre senting a most attractive subject in a highly finished literary form, is exceptional among the masterpieces of German literature for its brevity. And although the work contains difficulties in language and thought, and many readings are needed for its fullest appreciation, yet a single one is sufficient to attract and impress, so obvious and human is its general character. For these reasons the poem particularly com mends itself to the _student of German, espe cially where the time at command for learning the language is so limited as to exclude much attention to the literature. It seems,-therefore, desirable that the work should be rendered more accessible by means of a separate edition, and more adequate explanatory material provided for its better understanding and appreciation. The present edition is an attempt to realize this desire, and contribute to the more general.
