The next scene is one between Faust and Mephistopheles, and begins thus:--

"Und was der ganzen Menschheit zugetheilt ist,"

_i. e._ with the passage (_antè_, p. 70.) beginning, "I will enjoy, in my

own heart's core, all that is parcelled out among mankind," &c. All that

intervenes, in later editions, is wanting. It is thenceforth continued, as

now, to the end of the cathedral scene (_antè_, p. (170)), except that the

whole scene, in which Valentine is killed, is wanting. Thus Margaret's

prayer to the Virgin and the cathedral scene come together, and form the

conclusion of the work. According to Düring's Verzeichniss, there was no

new edition of Faust until 1807. According to Dr. Sieglitz, the first part

of Faust first appeared, in its present shape, in the collected edition of

Goethe's works, which was published in 1808.--_Hayward's Translation of

Faust_, second edition, note, p. 215.]

_February_ 17. 1833.
