      MARY STUART.    

      A TRAGEDY.    

 
      By Friedrich Schiller    

 
 
          NOTE:  The translation of MARY STUART is that by the late Joseph          Mellish, who appears to have been on terms of intimate friendship with          Schiller. His version was made from the prompter's copy, before the          play was published, and, like Coleridge's Wallenstein, contains many          passages not found in the printed edition. These are distinguished by          brackets. On the other hand, Mr. Mellish omitted many passages which          now form part of the printed drama, all of which are now added. The          translation, as a whole, stands out from similar works of the time          (1800) in almost as marked a degree as Coleridge's Wallenstein, and          some passages exhibit powers of a high order; a few, however,          especially in the earlier scenes, seemed capable of improvement, and          these have been revised, but, in deference to the translator, with a          sparing hand.
