Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Eighteenth Century and of the Nineteenth Till the Overthrow of the French Empire, Vol. 2: With Particular Reference to Mental Cultivation and Progress We have mentioned in the preceding volume, that two attempts had been made in the sixth decennium to erect a critical tribunal in Berlin or Leipzig, and that Weisse, who at last remained alone at the head of the undertaking of the library of the fine arts, did not possess a sufficient share of the public confidence, under the then circumstances, to undertake the dictatorship. This dictatorship was then at Nicolai´s wish and suggestion and with his assistance transferred to the Letters upon Literature, which were expressly destined to place the whole uneducated public in Germany, who were only accustomed to miserable German books, in a condition to distinguish by sure signs the bad from the middling, and these again from the excellent. This was Lessing´s and Nicolai´s object when they renewed their early attempt to establish a formal tribunal of criticism over that part of literature which did not merely concern the learned, but which affected the whole people.
