This tale of Auerbach, his largest and most elaborate, is a choice addition to the series. It is not a novel, in one sense of the word, as there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage. It consists in about equal parts of the narrative illustrating the peasant and court life amidst which its scenes are laid; and of the working out of a moral problem, of peculiar and painful interest. In the narrative it is a little lingering and slow, the inner life, or mood of experience, in the persons being the main thing to be given: in the other portions, it deals with the old story of temptation, sin, and expiation, with a delicacy, subtilty, and boldness, beside which even George Eliot seems rude and course. It is the struggle, the fall, and the purification, of a mind of rare genius and intelligence, with no religious creed to guide or hinder, nurtured in the modern faith of culture, and working out, in selfimposed solitude, the terrible task imposed under the sense of guilt, sorrow, and despair. The moral tone is pure and noble; the lesson it teaches, the deepest with which the human soul is called to deal. But it is a lesson imbedded in human sympathies, and set in a story of extraordinary fulness and beauty, evidently wrought out by a patient and loving study of the life it describes. The translation is faithful, animated, and clear, sufficiently charming and free in its English idiom, though missing here and there some untranslatable felicity, particularly in the quaint, tender fragments of popular song and proverb.)
