Johhan Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust, written between 1806 and 1831, was translated by Bayard Taylor in 1870 and published In 1871. It was illustrated by Harry Clarke in a 1925 edition published by Hartsdale House that was limited to 2,000 copies. Bayard Taylor's translation preserves the beautiful, metered verse and rhyme of von Goethe's adaptation of the legend of Dr. Faust. That translation is faithfully reproduced in this edition as are the famous Harry Clarke illustrations, which are credited with influencing the psychedelic art movement in the 1960's. The eight color plates are reproduced in black and white.

“Education at any age is a lifelong dedication to the improvement of character, and the enlargement of understanding. There is no reason why PRS should not be remembered like Plato’s Academy, but if it is to continue, the society must make use of the most advanced technology available. I now envision a university of the mind, and think that through proper organization we can bring this message of enlightened living to a much greater audience throughout the world.” — Manly Palmer Hall
