1835^ⓘTranslated by John Anster Parts 1 and 2 first published 1835 and 1864 by Longman. HathiTrust Digital Library provides full views of both: Faustus, a Dramatic Mystery: The Bride of Corinth; The First Walpurgis Night (1835), with March 1840 "New Works and New Editions", p1-16; Faustus: The Second Part (1864). WorldCat library records show 1835 publication of part 1 clearly (OCLC 5579052; "Some extracts from this translation ... were published in Blackwood's magazine ... 1820") and 1867 publication of both parts in one volume maybe (OCLC 949390865, OCLC 934892564, OCLC 794358486). The Irish Times and Daily Advertiser 1860-05-01 p4 recommends most highly the prose version of Mr. Hayward and the metrical rendering of Dr. John Anster [of Trinity College, Dublin, 1835]. Amazon US reports several recent editions as well as, earliest, one edition published 1896 by Dodd, Mead & Co. (ASIN B000ZGMMMI as of 2017-01-05).	English	Faust [as by Goethe]
1870^ⓘTranslated by Bayard Taylor "originally published: in 2 parts, Boston, Mass. : Fields, Osgood, 1870-1 ; London : Strahan, 1871" --WorldCat library record of the 1974 Sphere ed., OCLC 16296626 "Translated into English, in the original metres, by Bayard Taylor" --title page, Project Gutenberg #14591 The example of Mr. Brooks (part one, 1856) "confirmed me in the belief that there were few difficulties in the way of a nearly literal yet thoroughly rhythmical version of Faust, which might not be overcome by loving labor. A comparison of seventeen English translations, in the arbitrary metres adopted by the translators, sufficiently showed the danger of allowing license in this respect." --Preface, Project Gutenberg #14591, signed "B.T."
