Foreword

FOR a comprehensive understanding of Robert Browning's poem "Paracelsus," some knowledge of the man Paracelsus and his doctrines is necessary. In an historical note and comment. Browning says: "The liberties I have taken with my subject are very trifling and the reader may slip the foregoing scenes between the leaves of any memoir of Paracelsus he pleases by way of commentary." In all other respects I leave this volume to speak for itself. For valuable infoi:mation I wish to gratefully acknowledge my obligation to Mr. Berdoe's "Browning Cyclopedia," Mr. Wm. Sharp's "Life of Robert Browning," Hartmann's "History of Paracelsus," Erdmann's "History of Philosophy," and to some of the Browning Society's papers.

January 4, 1911.
