Nathan Yes, Daya, God be praised! But why at last? Had I the wish to hasten my return 65 Could I have done so? ~for Jerusalem Is full two hundred miles from Babylon For one who is forced, as I have been, to turn Often to right and left upon the way; And gathering in old debts is not a task That's soon despatched.

Some years ago, when preparing some lectures on German Literature, I was unable to find what I considered a correct reproduction of many passages in this work and being much impressed by the lofty thoughts of Lessing spowerful mind, I formed the intention of translating the book whenever I had sufficient leisure. After reentering Parliament, and experiencing what so many business men do experience the ennui of listening to the repetition of arguments in debates already practically concluded I found relief in employing some of that time and other spare moments in carrying out my purpose.
