455 pages, 218 poems. The sixth edition (1809) contains 231 poems.
In all editions the poems are arranged in geographical order from
Südersee to Graubünden. Alexander Kaufmann's _Quellenangaben und
Bemerkungen zu Kart Simrocks Rheinsagen_ throws no new light on
the Lorelei-legend.

[61] Cf. _Heinrich Heines sämtliche Werke_, edited by Walzel,
Fränkel, Krähe, Leitzmann, and Peterson. Leipzig. 1911, II,
408. So far as I have looked into the matter, Walzel stands alone

anticipated him in the statement that Heine drew on Schreiber in
this case. But Mücke thinks that Heine also knew Loeben.

verlieren über den Wert dieses unverdaulichen Machwerkes [_Les
Burgraves_], das mit allen möglichen Prätensionen auftritt,
namentlich mit historischen, obgleich alles Wissen Victor Hugos

französischen Uebersetzung von Schreibers _Handbuch für
Rheinreisende_ geschöpft, ist." This was written March 20, 1843
(see Elster edition, VI. 344).

[63] Aloys Wilhelm Schreiber (1763-1840) was a teacher in the Lyceum
at Baden-Baden (1800-1802), professor of aesthetics at Heidelberg
(1802-13) where he was intimate with the Voss family,
historiographer at Karlsruhe (1813-26), and in 1826 he retired and
became a most prolific writer. He interested himself in guidebooks
for travelers. His manuals contain maps, distances, expense
accounts, historical sketches, in short, about what the modern
_Baedeker_ contains with fewer statistics and more popular
