" Goethe ' s heart , which few knew , was as great as his intelleot , which all knew . "— Jang Stilling . " Written with intense love and profound knowledge of tlie subject , it throws more light on the character and genius of Goethe than any other work . Finally , it is a perfect mine of admirable impartial criticism , written in a pure English style , and , in short , a life of Goethe worthy of the vntcn . "—Daily News . " Mr . Lewes has written a work of art , and not thrown before the public a quarry of raw material A thorough stu-dy of his subject , a careful preparation extended through many years , and trained skill in authorship , have enabled Mr . Lewes to convey a lively representation of the man Goethe as he lived , of the society of which he was the centre , of the general characteristics of the time ; and . to blond with all this , ample analytical criticism on his principal writings , iind intelligent discussion of the principles on which poetry and prose fiction should be composed Goethe is shown to have possessed one of the noblest and sweetest natures ever given to erring man , and to have lived aa ever in the eyes of the great Taskmaster , who had given him hie talents , and was by that gift calling him to dlsohargo great duties .
