The fact that Max Muller was German by birth and spent his early life in Germany, has quite unnecessarily fixed the idea that he was a German scholar writing in German Actually, he was naturalized in England and always wrote in English with complete mastery of the language, except when he employed German for a special purpose in a book, article, or his correspondence The lists given in the two appendices specify which books or documents are in German All others are in his own English
