"The stories that we know today as Grimm's Fairy Tales were collected from oral tradition by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm philologists and pioneer folklorists. They began to publish the results of their work in 1812 in Germany under the title Kinder- und Haus-Märchen. The tales first appeared in English in 1823 with the publication of the first volume of German Popular Stories. The translator was Edgar Taylor and the book's publication was an auspicious event for at least two reasons. It launched an era in which folklore and the fairy tale would stimulate writers to produce an increasingly imaginative literature for children. And German Popular Stories also put before the public the remarkable illustrations-perhaps his best work-of George Cruikshank. The illustrations evoke wonderfully the grotesque awesome yet matter-of-fact qualities of witch and goblin of Frog Prince Rapunzel Rumpelstiltskin and all the other characters that people the tales. As illustrations to these fairy tales Cruikshank's etchings have never been surpassed" Morgan Library Early Children's Books. Cohn 369. Morgan Library Early Children's Books 197.

It will be serviceable to the Profession as a comprehensive digest of authorities on this branch of law and it will afford much instruction to philanthropists and statesmen interested in reconciling the welfare of slaves with the integrity and just operation of Constitutional Law"" Marvin 729.
