Goethe, two each from Jacobi, Klopstock, Matthisson and Schickaneder, and one each from "Adelio," Bürde, Kotzebue, Patzke, "Sheller," and "Van Vander Horderclogeth," together with several translations, for which the name of the original author was not given. None of these were printed in book form before 1826.[10] [Footnote 8: _New Idyls_, by S. Gessner. Philadelphia, 1802.] [Footnote 9: Bürger, _Leonora_ [Wm. Taylor--some variants], Vol. I-221. Bürger, _The Chase_ [Sir Walter Scott], Vol. II-413. ----, _The Water King_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-92. Goethe, _The Erl-King_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-93. ----, _The Erl-King's Daughter_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-94. The last three, however, were also in Lewis' _Ambrosio or the Monk_, Philadelphia, 1798.] [Footnote 10: Wilkens' _List_. Two selections from Bürger and two from Goethe appeared in Lewis' collections, but no editions of their poems exclusively were issued. Klopstock's _Messiah_ was published three times before 1811, but not his shorter poems.] The first translations of German poetry printed in America are to be sought, therefore, in the magazines and it was here also that the public received its first information about the lives of the German literati. It is the object of the present study to consider the German influence in the early American periodicals, treating especially the translations of German poetry published in them.[11] Together with these are to be found in Part III translations from the other Teutonic literatures more or less closely connected with the German, namely, translations of Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic poetry, and also original poems on German literature, history, biography, etc.,--for example, _Ode on the late Victory obtained by the King of Prussia_, _Charlotte's Soliloquy--to the Manes of Werter_, and _Burlesque on the Style, in which most of the German romantic Ballads are written_. To this has been added a list of translations of German prose, and a list of original articles on Germany, etc., so that a complete estimate of the German influence in these magazines can thus be obtained. [Footnote 11: Wilkens mentions about a dozen magazines incidentally but no attempt has been made to investigate this field.]
