Excerpt from Magic Ring, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance, From the German of Frederick Baron De La Motte Fouque Such are the materials whence Fouque has drawn the machinery of his romances. The white magic of the now converted Druda contends against the black machinations of the infidel Gerda; and as for the Mysterious Ring, it seems to have been only one among other necro mantic spells, though some readers have sup posed that the author hereby intended to allego rize the delusive Spirit of the World, and of the worldly-minded, in opposition to that of pure religion and heavenly affections. Hence the Baron has represented the people of the North as led astray to wage war against all nations and against each other; till at last, by the infin ence of Bertha, (a personification of the true Christian faith) they become harmonized and happily united into one community. Nothing, you added, can be clearer and more intelligible than this outline; and, if the work were even literally rendered into English, it would present an excellent knightly tale of the olden time, ' with a religio-historical moral. Let this be done, and there need be no doubt entertained of its success. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
