Excerpt from Illustrations of Northern Antiquities, From the Earlier Teutonic and Scandinavian Romances: Being an Abstract of the Book of Heroes, and Nibelungen Lay; With Translations of Metrical Tales, From the Old German, Danish, Swedish, and Icelandic Languages; With Notes and Dissertations The purpose of the present Publication is to introduce the reader to the Metrical Poems and Romances of the ancient Gothic Dialects, a subject intimately connected with the earlier history of European literature, but to which English antiquaries have as yet but partially turned their eyes. The field of Icelandic Antiquities has indeed been investigated by Percy, by Johnstone, and more lately by Mr Herbert, with zeal, perseverance, and success. But the Romances of ancient Germany have been as yet unnoticed, and, with the Metrical Tales of Denmark and Sweden, offer a new and interesting subject of speculation to the English reader. Should the present volume be favourably received by the public, it is the purpose of the Editors to extend their researches to the Romances of Russia; to the more rare and less-known Sagas of Scandinavia; to the Original Songs of the Letts and Esthonians; and to the Poetry of the Celtic Dialects.
