VOCABULARY OF FOREIGN
WORDS AND PHRASES
TRANSLATED BY P. V. COHN, B. A.
The Editor has from time to time received letters
suggesting that translations should be given of the
Latin, French, and other foreign quotations which
occur rather frequently in the works of Nietzsche. In
most cases these words and phrases have been pre-
served in the text, in order to keep the flavour of the
original: nor was it considered desirable to disfigure
the pages with an excess of footnotes. The following
vocabulary will, it is hoped, meet the needs of readers.
The volumes are given in alphabetical orderofnumber
as in the advertisement index, but the quotations are
arranged in order of pages, the numbers heading the
quotations being those of the pages. Wherever a word
or phrase seemed to require comment as well as trans-
lation, notes have been added. Cross references are
given to the pages of the volumes.

VOCABULARY OF FOREIGN
WORDS AND PHRASES
TRANSLATED BY P. V. COHN, B. A.
The Editor has from time to time received letters
suggesting that translations should be given of the
Latin, French, and other foreign quotations which
occur rather frequently in the works of Nietzsche. In
most cases these words and phrases have been pre-
served in the text, in order to keep the flavour of the
original: nor was it considered desirable to disfigure
the pages with an excess of footnotes. The following
vocabulary will, it is hoped, meet the needs of readers.
The volumes are given in alphabetical orderofnumber
as in the advertisement index, but the quotations are
arranged in order of pages, the numbers heading the
quotations being those of the pages. Wherever a word
or phrase seemed to require comment as well as trans-
lation, notes have been added. Cross references are
given to the pages of the volumes.
