"The only thing about the work, tending to prove that it is what it
purports to be, a commentary on a real German treatise, is the style, which
is a sort of Babylonish dialect, not destitute, it is true, of richness,
vigor, and at times a sort of singular felicity of expression, but very
strongly tinged throughout with the peculiar idiom of the German language.
This quality in the style, however, may be a mere result of a great
familiarity with German literature; and we cannot, therefore, look upon it
as in itself decisive, still less as outweighing so much evidence of an
opposite character."-- _North-American Review, No. 89, October_, 1835.


IV. NEW ENGLAND EDITORS.

"The Editors have been induced, by the expressed desire of many persons, to
collect the following sheets out of the ephemeral pamphlets* in which they
first appeared, under the conviction that they contain in themselves the
assurance of a longer date.

*_Fraser's_ (London) _Magazine_, 1833-34.

"The Editors have no expectation that this little Work will have a sudden
and general popularity. They will not undertake, as there is no need, to
justify the gay costume in which the Author delights to dress his thoughts,
or the German idioms with which he has sportively sprinkled his pages. It
is his humor to advance the gravest speculations upon the gravest topics in
a quaint and burlesque style. If his masquerade offend any of his
audience, to that degree that they will not hear what he has to say, it may
chance to draw others to listen to his wisdom; and what work of imagination
can hope to please all! But we will venture to remark that the distaste
excited by these peculiarities in some readers is greatest at first, and is
soon forgotten; and that the foreign dress and aspect of the Work are quite
superficial, and cover a genuine Saxon heart. We believe, no book has been
published for many years, written in a more sincere style of idiomatic
English, or which discovers an equal mastery over all the riches of the
language. The Author makes ample amends for the occasional eccentricity of
his genius, not only by frequent bursts of pure splendor, but by the wit
and sense which never fail him.

"But what will chiefly commend the Book to the discerning reader is the
manifest design of the work, which is, a Criticism upon the Spirit of the
Age--we had almost said, of the hour--in which we live; exhibiting in the
most just and novel light the present aspects of Religion, Politics,
Literature, Arts, and Social Life. Under all his gayety the Writer has an
earnest meaning, and discovers an insight into the manifold wants and
tendencies of human nature, which is very rare among our popular authors.
The philanthropy and the purity of moral sentiment, which inspire the work,
will find their way to the heart of every lover of virtue."--_Preface to
Sartor Resartus: Boston_, 1835, 1837.
