1878), a title suggestive of a humorous intention, but a book which I
have not seen.

[28] Among the most notable of these was "Maler" (Friedrich) Mueller's
"Golo und Genoveva" (written 1781; published 1811); Count Toerring's
"Agnes Bernauerin" (1780); and Jacob Meyer's "Sturm von Borberg" (1778),
and "Fust von Stromberg" (1782). Several of these were very successful
on the stage.

[30] Kotzebue's "The Stranger" ("Menschenhass und Reue") still keeps the
English stage. Sheridan's "Pizarro"--a version of Katzebue's "Spaniards
in Peru"-was long a favorite; and "Monk" Lewis made another translation
of the same in 1799, entitled "Rolla," which, however, was never acted.

"Spaniards in Peru." "Adelmorn, or the Outlaw" (1800), played at Drury
Lane, 1801. "Tales of Terror" (1801) and "Tales of Wonder" (1801).
(There seems to be some doubt as to the existence of the alleged Kelso
editions of these in 1799 and 1800, respectively. See article on Lewis
in the "Dict. Nat. Biog.") "The Bravo of Venice" (1804), a prose
romance, dramatized and played at Covent Garden, as "Rugantino," in 1805.
"Feudal Tyrants" (1807), a four-volume romance. "Romantic Tales" (1808),
4 vols. From German and French.

[36] The printed play had reached its eleventh edition in 1803.
