Excerpt from The German Novelists, Vol. 3 of 4: Tales Selected From Ancient and Modern Authors in That Language; From the Earliest Period Down to the Close of the Eighteenth Century; Translated From the Originals; With Critical and Biographical Notices The following sketch of this very pleasing and ingenious writer's life is from the pen of his friend and pupil, the celebrated Kotzebue. Like the productions of him whom it commemorates, it is written with kind and earnest feelings; and every where bears that stamp of sincerity and truth, which at once carries pleasure and conviction to the reader's heart. He was once my instructor, and he afterwards became my friend, observes Kotzebue: let my heart, then, speak, while his image continues still fresh in my memory. I wish I could excite something of the interest I feel, in the reader's bosom; - but he was unacquainted with him.
