Excerpt from Letters of Richard Wagner to Emil Heckel: With a Brief History of the Bayreuth Festivals [I shall not delay the reader of this fascinating little book for any longer than it will take him - and, I may hope, also her - to note the following three facts: 1st that Herr Emil Heckel, still a member of the Bayreuth Council of Administration - or "Verwaltungsrath" - was founder of the very earliest Wagner Society, and has ever been one of the staunchest and most unselfish friends of the Bayreuth cause, and that Frau Wagner has kindly given her express authority and sanction to my translating these letters of her husband's, 3rd that Herr Karl Heckel, editor of the German book, has most generously granted me the exclusive right of rendering his father's recollections into English, subject to the sole condition that their rendering shall be faithful: my own contribution to the book is therefore limited'to the very few notes which bear the symbol "Tr." - June 1899, W.A.E.] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
