Notes

{{Tr|Bayard Taylor}}

• "originally published: in 2 parts, Boston, Mass. : Fields, Osgood, 1870-1 ; London : Strahan, 1871" --WorldCat library record of the 1974 Sphere ed., {{OCLC|16296626}}
• "Translated into English, in the original metres, by Bayard Taylor" --title page, Project Gutenberg #14591
• The example of Mr. Brooks (part one, 1856) "confirmed me in the belief that there were few difficulties in the way of a nearly literal yet thoroughly rhythmical version of Faust, which might not be overcome by loving labor. A comparison of seventeen English translations, in the arbitrary metres adopted by the translators, sufficiently showed the danger of allowing license in this respect." --Preface, Project Gutenberg #14591, signed "B.T." (1890?)
