Excerpt from Harvard College Library: The Bequest of Evert Jansen Wendell (Class of 1882) Of New York
Introduce Jean Paul Richter to the English public, it seems to us that he was more than usually unsuccessful. The liter ary publics of the England and the Ger many of those days were very different, and perhaps the errors of taste, which each professed to find in the other, were not in truth wholly upon the side of John Bull. We feel, (with much deprecation of our own impudence in challenging such a compari son,) in a somewhat similar position, and dread in our more diflident moments a far colder reception and far greater depth of oblivion for our present attempt to render into English a good German story about strong drink. German humour is.
