INTRODUCTION.

Martin Luther died on the 18th of February, 1546, and the first
publication of his "Table Talk"-Tischreden-by his friend, Johann
Goldschmid (Aurifaber), was in 1566, in a substantial folio. The
talk of Luther was arranged, according to its topics, into eighty
chapters, each with a minute index of contents. The whole work in a
complete octavo edition, published at Stuttgart and Leipzig in 1836,
occupies 1,390 closely printed pages, equivalent to 2,780 pages, or
full fourteen volumes, of this Library.
The nearest approach to a complete and ungarbled translation into
English was that of Captain Henry Bell, made in the reign of Charles
the First, under the circumstances set forth by himself; but even
that was not complete.
