INTRODUCTORY AND GENERAL NOTE.

In a note to Vol. II. p. 174, occurs an allusion to certain _Comic

Appendices_ to Titan. There is a special good reason for recalling the

reader's attention to that subject, inasmuch as that appended matter

contains, slyly hid away by the waggish J. P., what is generally

regarded as an important part of a work. These Comic Appendages contain

apparently nothing essentially connected with the story of Titan, but

only satirical hits at men and things in connection with the names of

persons and places that occur in the work. For the sake, however, of

one interesting thing found there (beside the aforesaid Preface), we

will simply state that the "COMIC APPENDIX TO TITAN" consists of two

(so-called) little volumes, the first of which ends with a "Preface to

Titan," and after the second follows, as an "Appendix to the First

Comic Appendix of Titan," a "CLAVIS FICHTIANA, SEU LEIBGEBERIANA" (_Key

to Fichte, or Leibgeber_,--Leibgeber, alias Siebenkäs, alias Schoppe,

being so much a quiz of the philosopher Fichte in the Titan itself).
