Excerpt from Schiller Gallery: Containing Characters From Schiller's Works
Schiller's life itself exhibits such a continuous and unwearied struggle after perfection, as to form an illus trious example for every German. We hope that it may be said of us that, in our attempts, we have sought to render it due honor.
A few words may be permitted respecting the ex planatory remarks which the author has added to the engravings, and for which he alone is responsible. He is the less able to assert that he has added any thing new respecting the poet, that he must frankly confess his ignorance of what is old and ah°eady written. It, has always been his preference to enjoy the poet himself, instead of studying critics and commentators and where he has found the need of assistance, he has confined him self to the admirable hints which Gervinus and Julian Schmidt have thrown out. It is not necessary here to repeat in full what he himself has reached unaided, or what he has received from others, since the_ drawing and the text will be found mutually explanatory and illustrative.

Excerpt from Schiller Gallery: Containing Characters From Schiller's Works
Works on art must not only explain but justify them selves if their vitality is not sufficient to do this, all the recommendations in the world cannot save them from an early death.
The author of the explanatory text of this work, acting in conjunction with Arthur von Ramberg, in fathering those children of the Muse which are here offered to the public, prefers therefore to send this book into the world without any sponsor, and to let it make its own way. The result has justified his decision, for the voices of the police authorities of criticism, who have examined into the legitimacy of these brain-children, as they have appeared one by one, or serially, so to speak, have agreed in this at least, that they have sound bodily health, if not fine manners; and the public, whose business it is to support them, has received them with surprising readiness.
