Extract

No country perhaps affords a more interesting literary speculation at present than Germany. For researches in science and philosophy, for laborious investigations into the principles of public polity and law, she had long been conspicuous ; but, till very lately, she made scarce any pretension to fame in the other departments of literature, which usually precede those more abstract and laborious pursuits I have just mentioned.
