FOOTNOTES TO THE "GERMAN DEDICATION":

[Footnote 1: Oh! spirit of modern scepticism, to what shocking results
art thou leading us! Already have Lycurgus, Romulus, Numa, &c. been
resolved into mere allegorized ideas. And a learned friend has
undertaken to prove, within the next 50 years, according to the best
rules of modern _scepsis_, that no such banker as Mr. Rothschild ever
existed; that the word _Rothschild_ in fact was nothing more than a
symbolic expression for a habit of advancing loans at the beginning of
the 19th century: which indeed the word itself indicates, if reduced to
its roots. I should not be surprized to hear that some man had
undertaken to demonstrate the non-existence of Sir Walter Scott:
already there are symptoms abroad: for the mysterious author of
Waverley has in our own days been detected in the persons of so many
poets and historians the most opposite to each other, that by this time
his personality must have been evaporated and volatilized into a whole
synod of men.--_Note of the Dedicator._]

Walter Scott's novels into German.]
