AbstractExamines the German selections in "Specimens of Foreign Standard Literature," a fourteen-volume series edited by George Ripley and published in Boston. Muehl asks: "What impelled the translators to learn a language little know in New England at the time, and...how did they come by their knowledge of German?...What moved George Ripley to launch the project?...[and] how was the series received by the public?"
