Excerpt from Essay on Edmund Spenser and His Fairy Queen, Especially With Regard to the Language Spenser's idiom being the chief point to be considered in our essay we treated the first second part but shortly, whereas the third ought to certain the centre of the whole. In order become acquainted with an author's idiom, however, it is best, indeed, to peruse his work rather laboriously to skimming over all his writings superficially. Therefore, we thought it impossible to abstain from translating and commenting those Cantos of the Fairy Queen which are contained in the Tauchnitz edition. Thus, however, time passed away, and we were obliged improperly to abridge the syntactical and synonymical part as well as the conclusion, yet reserving, for the future, a deeper inquiry into this interesting theme. That those very Cantos have been chosen we think justified by their being easily to be procured by every one as well as by their being the finest of that poem. Primary sources were not at our command. The principal books we have employed are noted down in the following catalogue.
