Memoirs of Goëthe:
1824
Reprinted from the edition in 2 vols., London, H. Colburn, 1824. Reissued by Collins & Hannay in 1844. The translation is apparently based upon the French translation by Aubert De Vitry of books I-XV, all that had so far appeared in Germany. In the English translation the books of the original work are denoted "chapters." the translator's "work, it appears, is done from the French, and shows subtractions, and what is worse, additions."--Carlyle, Crit. and miscell. essays, New York, 1872, vol. I, p. 178. cf. also Baldensperger, Goethe en France, 1907, no. 1696 "Postscript" (summary of Goethe's works) and "Biographical notices of the principal persons mentioned in these memoirs" (p. [292]-298, [299]-360) by the (original?) translator
