Two editions appeared simultaneously, one in 4^o, the other in 8^o. Perthes, the publisher, had given an order to the artist Philip Otto Runge (cf. _infra_, p. 65) to illustrate the translation. He in accordance therewith prepared the pictures and sketches mentioned below. There were to have been 100 illustrations in all, but Stolberg refused to have any and they were omitted. Cf. Nagler’s Künstler–Lexicon, Vol. 14, pp. 51–2. Runge seems to have been assisted by Gerat Hardorf. Cf. Gurlitt, 1805, p. 37.—Cp. specimens in the Nordische Miszellen, 1805. The translation is not rimed, but rhythmical. It contains neither dissertations nor introductory remarks, but at the end of each volume Verkürzte Anmerkungen des Herrn Macpherson nebst einigen des deutschen Übersetzers.
