preston Of delight receiving another production OF
her vigorous pen and of regret that for so long time
she had been missed from the ranks Of active workers in
German literature Since that time her death in the
City Of Hamburg has caused deeper feeling OF sorrow
in the circles on both sides of the Atlantic which had
learned to appreciate the endOwments OF her intel
ec and the admirable virtues Of her character. Mrs
Robinson the daughter of a distinguished German pro-
fessor and the wife of Of the most eminent AmeI

the attention Goethe and called forth the most cordial
praises the aged poet Her subsequent contribu-
tions TO German literature, several Of which have been
translated and repubshed in this country, reck
