Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Soliloquy in German Drama In the family of dramatic conventions no member has played so important a role, and on the other hand none has had so ignominious an ending, after a most glorious career, as the soliloquy. In its present crushed and lowly estate, it forcibly reminds one of the last years of the great exile at St. Helena. After centuries of the greatest popularity with both playwright and audience, the soliloquy has at last met with the fate of most popular idols and been ruthlessly ousted from its comfortable throne.

Excerpt from The Ober-Ammergau Passion Play: Giving the Origin of the Play, and History of the Village and People, a Full Description of the Scenes and Tableaux of the Seventeen Acts of the Drama, and the Songs of the Chorus, in German and English I'would advise the readers of this book, however, not to delay the journey to Ammergau until the Saturday before the performance, and not to leave the village until the next day, or even the day after. A few days' sojourn in the village will prove as pleasant as it is recuperative. The people of Ammergau give a simple welcome to their visitors the houses and beds are thoroughly clean, and the mountains all about are ever inviting the visitor to excursions. The traveller who does the Passion Play in a hurry gets but little enjoy ment out of his visit to Ammergau. To those who desire to become acquainted with the every-day life of thepeople, and to take away with them a delightful record of a residence in the village, I would recommend Mrs. Greatorex'sbook entitled The Homes of ober-ammergau, with etchings of the dwelling-places of the principal actors of the Passion Play.
