The Monk and the Hangman’s Daughter Preface M any years ago – probably in 1890 – Dr Gustav Adolf Danziger brought to me in San Francisco what he said was a translation by himself of a German story by that brilliant writer, Herr Richard Voss, of Heidelberg. As Dr Danziger had at that time a most imperfect acquaintance with the English language, he asked me to rewrite his version of Herr Voss’s work for publication in this country.
