"These two translations, 'Meister's Apprenticeship' and 'Meister's Travels,' have long been out of print, but never altogether out of demand; nay, it would seem, the originally somewhat moderate demand has gone on increasing, and continues to increase. They are, therefore, here republished; and the one being in some sort a sequel to the other, though in rather unexpecred sort, they are now printed together. The English version of 'Meister's Travels' has been extracted, or extricated, from a compilation of very various quality named 'German Romance,' and placed by the side of the 'Apprenticeship,' its forerunner, which, in the translated as in the original state, appeared hitherto as a separate work......" ---- from To The Reader. Edition De Luxe Volume VII. Reprint (1882). Violet Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover.
