Excerpt from Lessings Hamburische Dramaturgie: Abridged and Edited With Introduction and NotesThe text of the Hamburgische Dramaturgie given here is that of ther lachmann-muncker edition. Aside from the correction of a very few typographical errors, the only intentional deviations from this text are in the orthography. Here the Prussian rules have been fol lowed except in the case of a small number of words, characteristic of Lessing, of which the Notes give account. The Dramaturgie has been abridged by the omission of passages which seem to the editor of the least present value and interest. The Notes ofier in each case some explanation of the omitted passage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.
