and a friend, none went before him: no one displayed these domestic
virtues in a more perfect and more pleasing form. As a Greek Scholar
and Commentator, he may be said to rank with Hemsterhusius,
Wyttenbach, and Heyne. He was equally the boast of Strasbourg and the
glory of his age. Never was profound learning more successfully united
with "singleness of heart," and general simplicity of character. He
ought to have a splendid monument (if he have it not already?) among
his Fellow Worthies in the church of St. Thomas at Strasbourg. PEACE
TO HIS ASHES!]

[3] For the first time, my bill (which I invariably called for, and
settled, every day) was presented to me in a printed form, in the
_black letter_, within an ornamented border. It was entitled
Rechnung von Gottlob Ernst Teichmann, zum Waldhorn in Stuttgart. The
printed articles, against which blanks are left, to be filled up
according to the quantity and quality of the fare, were these:
Fruhstuck, Mittag-Essen, Nacht Essen, Fremder Wein, Ordinarier Wein,
Verschiedenes, Logis, Feuerung, Bediente. I must be allowed to add,
that the head waiter of the Waldhorn, or _Hunting Horn_, was one
of the most respectably looking, and well-mannered, of his species. He
spoke French fluently, but with the usual German accent. The master of
the inn was coarse and bluff, but bustling and civil. He frequently
devoted one of the best rooms in his house to large, roaring, singing,
parties--in which he took a decided lead, and kept it up till past
midnight.
