Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments From German Prose Writers These strange misrepresentations are, it is true, no longer listened to by the more instructed portion of society. The translations and criticisms of some of the valuable works which Germany has con tributed to every branch of knowledge, but espe cially to philology and history, and still better, the study of the originals, have produced a vast and increasing change in the more cultivated part of public opinion. But though it is rather the fashion now to talk with a vague admiration of German literature, we are very far as yet from that intimate knowledge of it, upon which alone a just estimate of its merits can be founded.
