ginal words. And will not even
quarrel with me if I reproduce in _facsimile_ those poor
"_Verzierungen_ (Copperplates)" of Goethe's devising, Shadows of Human
Dwellings far away; judging well how beautiful and full of meaning the
poorest of them now is to me.

Subjoined, on the next page, is Goethe's List or 'special Indication'
of these latter; the only words of his which, on this occasion, I
translate as well (_Note of 1868_):

'SPECIAL INDICATION OF THE LOCALITIES REPRESENTED.

'_Frontispiece_, Thomas Carlyle's House in the County of
Dumfries, South of Scotland.

'_Titlepage Vignette_, The Same in the distance.

'_Upper-side of Cover_, Schiller's House in Weimar.

'_Under-side of Cover_, Solitary small Apartment in
Schiller's Garden, over the Leutra Brook in Jena, built by
himself; where, in the completest seclusion, he wrote many
things, _Maria Stuart_ in particular. After his removal from
Jena, and subsequent decease, the little Edifice was taken
away as threatening to fall ruinous; and we wished here to
preserve the remembrance of it.'
