ABSTRACT
Through the diligence and enthusiasm of Dr. Oscar Levy, author of “ The Revival of Aristocracy,” a German by birth but for some time a resident of London, the whole canon of Nietzsche’s writings is now to be had in English translation. So long ago as 1896 a complete edition in eleven volumes was projected, and Dr. Alexander Tille, lecturer on German in the University of Glasgow, and author of “ Von Darwin bis Nietzsche,” was engaged to edit it. But though it started fairly with a volume including “ The Case of Wagner ” and “ The Antichrist,” and four more volumes followed after a year or so, it got no further than that. Ten years later came Dr. Levy. He met with little encouragement when he began, but by dint of unfailing perseverance he finally gathered about him a corps of competent translators, made arrangements with publishers in Great Britain and the United States, and got the work under way. His eighteenth and last volume was published early in 1913.
