Excerpt from The Passion Play at Oberammergau
When I visited Oberammergau to see the final rehearsal of the Passion Play on Maj/518, 1890, I had no intention of publishing in this form any record of my'impressions. But7 on my return home I found that the interest in the subject was so widespread, that I accepted a re quest from the Editor of the Mancfiesier Guar a'z'cm to write some account of What I had seen. I am so constantly questioned on the subject, that I have here printed what I had to say in a more permanent form.
