Abstract
This book seems to us extraordinarily delightful. From Walther von der Vogelweide onwards, there are here all the poems in German which we have cherished since school days. The earlier part of the book seems almost like a breviary. It is remarkable how near to the heart many of these old German poems lie; almost like scriptures. We do not question or examine them. Our education seems built on them.
