"When, a few years ago, the copies of the following letters were first made known to us, it was asserted that they had been found among Werther's papers; and it was pretended, that, before his acquaintance with Charlotte, he had been in Switzerland. We have never seen the originals, however, we would not on any account anticipate the judgement and feelings of our readers; for, whatever may be their true history, it is impossible to read them without sympathy...."
