Here may be mentioned also, _Maly Sserb_, i.e. _der kleine Serbe, wendische-deutsche Gesprache etc. mit einem wendisch-deutschen und deutsch-wendischen Würterbuch, etc._ von J.E. Schmaler, Bautzen 1841.--There exists besides this only one Sorabian Dictionary, and this in Latin, _Vocabularium latino-sorbicum_, by G.A. Swotlik, Bautzen 1721.] [Footnote 10: _Volkslieder der Wenden in der Ober und Nieder Lausitz, und mit den Sangweisen, deutsher Uebersetzung_, etc. herausgegeben von Leopold Haupt und J.E.

The second volume contains the songs in the dialect of Lower Lusatia.] [Footnote 11: Philological works on this dialect are the following: Hauptmann's _Wendische Sprachlehre_, Lübben 1761. _Kurze Anleitung zur Wend. Sprache_, 1746. Megiseri _Thesaurus Polyglottus_, Frankf. 1603; including the Lower Lusatian. Several vocabularies of this dialect are extant in manuscript; see Schaffarik's _Geschichte_, p. 486.] * * * * * PART IV. SKETCH OF THE POPULAR POETRY OF THE SLAVIC NATIONS. In the preceding view of the literature of the Slavic nations, we have abstained from giving any specimens of their poetry. A _few_ would not have satisfied the reader, and could not have done justice to poets, who each for himself has a literary character of his own; and _many_ would have at least doubled the size of this volume. Shukovsky, Pushkin, Mickewicz, Brodzinski, Krasinski, Kollar--each, as we said, has an individual poetical character of his own, of which the reader could have gathered no just idea without a whole series of their productions; and these even then would have lost half their value in a translation. Yet they all have little of that peculiar _Slavic_ character, which belongs still in some degree to all Slavic nations; and which is so strikingly expressed in their POPULAR POETRY.
