As the early history of Poland is almost unknown in England, it may be necessary to state that this little poem is merely a poetical version of a real event, the memory of which is dear to every Polish heart. Wanda (the daughter of the great founder of Cracow), having really devoted herself to death for the sake of her country, under the circumstances and from the motives which are here assigned.
1. As it is at the present day, fortified by the Austrians against Cracow.
[Confused voices are heard outside, and presently Rzewna enters.
[Exeunt Rzewna, Lesja, and the Maidens.
[Hermann enters.
[Exit Hermann.
[Exeunt omnes.
The scene changes to the bank of the Vistula, opposite the tomb of Krakus, at Cracow. Divisions of cavalry and infantry march with music and flying banners towards Cracow. The last division of infantry draws up in line of battle.
[Exeunt omnes.
Wanda ascends the hill, the Chorus retires to the left, a vast crowd assembles on the right, and stands opposite the tumulus of Krakus.
[A thunderstorm approaches; Wanda appears on the summit of the tomb, kneeling, and with hands uplifted in prayer. Leszek steps forward from the midst of the People.
[Wanda rises, descends towards the Vistula, and disappears from the eyes of the spectators, hidden by the declivity. The Bard alone appears before the People; at the same time the sun rises, and Wanda’s Maidens appear for a moment on the tumulus, and then run down the hill to the Vistula. Meanwhile the People’s Chorus is again heard.
[Wanda’s Maidens are seen in the background, carrying her corpse towards Cracow.
[The Funeral passes along the Stage.
[The Curtain falls.

The Publishers have been induced, by the scarcity and increasing value of this admired Series of the Poets, to prepare a New Edition, very carefully corrected, and improved by such additions as recent literary research has placed within their reach.
The general principle of Editing which has been adopted is to give the entire Poems of each author in strict conformity with the Edition which received his final revision, to prefix a Memoir, and to add such notes as may be necessary to elucidate the sense of obsolete words or explain obscure allusions. Each author will be placed in the hands of a competent editor specially acquainted with the literature and bibliography of the period.
Externally this new edition will resemble the former, but with some improvements. It will be elegantly printed by Whittingham, on toned paper manufactured expressly for it; and a highly-finished portrait of each author will be given.
The Aldine Edition of the British Poets has hitherto been the favourite Series with the admirers of choice books, and every effort will be made to increase its claims as a comprehensive and faithful mirror of the poetic genius of the nation.

Though the circulation of Dr. Webster’s celebrated Dictionary, in its various forms, in the United States, in England, and in every country where the English Language is spoken, may be counted by hundreds of thousands, it is believed that there are many persons to whom the book is yet unknown, and who, if seeking for a Dictionary which should supply all reasonable wants, would be at a loss to select one from the numerous competitors in the field.
In announcing this New Edition, the Proprietors desire to call attention to the features which distinguish it, and to put before those who are in want of such a book, the points in which it excels all other Dictionaries, and which render it the best that has as yet been issued for the practical purposes of daily use:—
1. Accuracy of Definition. 2. Pronunciation intelligibly marked. 3. Completeness. 4. Etymology. 5. Obsolete Words. 6. Uniformity in the Mode of Spelling. 7. Quotations. 8. Cheapness.
With the determination that the superiority of the work shall be fully maintained, and that it shall keep pace with the requirements of the age and the universal increase of education, the Proprietors have added to this New Edition, under the editorship of Professor Goodrich,—

The New Testament in Greek. With English Notes and Prefaces by J. F. Macmichael, B.A. 730 pages. 7s. 6d.
This series is intended to supply for the use of Schools and Students cheap and accurate editions of the Classics, which shall be superior in mechanical execution to the small German editions now current in this country, and more convenient in form.
The texts of the Bibliotheca Classica and Grammar School Classics, so far as they have been published, will be adopted. These editions have taken their place amongst scholars as valuable contributions to the Classical Literature of this country, and are admitted to be good examples of the judicious and practical nature of English scholarship; and as the editors have formed their texts from a careful examination of the best editions extant, it is believed that no texts better for general use can be found.
The volumes will be well printed at the Cambridge University Press, in a 16mo. size, and will be issued at short intervals.

CLARKE’S COMMERCIAL COPY-BOOKS. Price 4d. A liberal allowance to Schools and Colleges.
The First Copy-Book contains elementary turns, with a broad mark like a T, which divides a well-formed turn into two equal parts. This exercise enables the learner to judge of form, distance, and proportion.
The Second contains large-hand letters, and the means by which such letters may be properly combined; the joinings in writing being probably as difficult to learn as the form of each character. This book also gives the whole alphabet, not in separate letters, but rather as one word; and, at the end of the alphabet, the difficult letters are repeated so as to render the writing of the pupil more thorough and uniform.
The Third contains additional large-hand practice.
The Fourth contains large-hand words, commencing with unflourished capitals; and the words being short, the capitals in question receive the attention they demand. As Large, and Extra Large-text, to which the fingers of the learner are not equal, have been dispensed with in this series, the popular objection of having too many Copy-books for the pupil to drudge through, is now fairly met. When letters are very large, the scholar cannot compass them without stopping to change the position of his hand, which destroys the freedom which such writing is intended to promote.
The Fifth contains the essentials of a useful kind of small-hand. There are first, as in large-hand, five easy letters of the alphabet, forming four copies, which of course are repeated. Then follows the remainder of the alphabet, with the difficult characters alluded to. The letters in this hand, especially the a, c, d, g, o, and q, are so formed that when the learner will have to correspond, his writing will not appear stiff. The copies in this book are not mere Large-hand reduced.
The Sixth contains small-hand copies, with instructions as to the manner in which the pupil should hold his pen, so that when he leaves school he may not merely have some facility in copying, but really possess the information on the subject of writing which he may need at any future time.
The Seventh contains the foundation for a style of small-hand, adapted to females, moderately pointed.
The Eighth contains copies for females; and the holding of the pen is, of course, the subject to which they specially relate.
This Series is specially adapted for those who are preparing for a commercial life. It is generally found when a boy leaves school that his writing is of such a character that it is some months before it is available for book-keeping or accounts. The special object of this Series of Copy-Books is to form his writing in such a style that he may be put to the work of a counting-house at once. By following this course from the first the writing is kept free and legible, whilst it avoids unnecessary flourishing.
Specimens of hand-writing after a short course may be seen on application to the Publishers.
The intention of the Publishers is to produce a Series of Volumes adapted for general reading, moderate in price, compact and elegant in form, and executed in a style fitting them to be permanently preserved.
They do not profess to compete with the so-called cheap volumes. They believe that a cheapness which is attained by the use of inferior type and paper, and absence of editorial care, and which results in volumes that no one cares to keep, is a false cheapness. They desire rather to produce books superior in quality, and relatively as cheap.
Each volume will be carefully revised by a competent editor, and printed at the Chiswick Press, on fine paper, with new type, and ornaments and initial letters specially designed for the series.
The Pocket Volumes will include all classes of Literature, both copyright and non-copyright;—Biography, History, Voyages, Travels, Poetry, sacred and secular, Books of Adventure and Fiction. They will include Translations of Foreign Books, and also such American Literature as may be considered worthy of adoption.
The Publishers desire to respect the moral claims of authors who cannot secure legal copyright in this country, and to remunerate equitably those whose works they may reprint.
The books will be issued at short intervals, in paper covers, at various prices, from 1s. to 3s. 6d., and in cloth, top edge gilt, at 6d. per volume extra, in half morocco, Roxburgh style, at 1s. extra, in antique or best plain morocco (Hayday), at 4s. extra.
New original cover art included with this ebook is granted to the public domain.
The following changes and corrections have been made:
