.
rived from
.the perusal of this vol we. To those
ourselveS are foe; much engaged in fol-
lowing the crooked Windings of irolitical airairs,
and develOping mysteries cone. alert under the
'plainest semblancts, it will be.fotind truly refresh-
ing and delicious to enter into this correspowf-
.erice, of which candour is the most obvious
quality, and in which the enianations of their
hearts seem to be transcribed upon the paper of
the various writers. It is true, that an alloy of
the sordidne;s and selfishness of I:fe is m:,, led,
with some of the trAtisactiOns whetted on in these
letteis ; but velibn we reflect on the state of so-
ciety and of the gencral intercourse of their fel-
low men around them, it is really Marvellous t,..)
observe hoW much KLbi'STOCK and his FRIENLiS
were abstracted from the eo;:iagion; •ay.d bow
nobly seperatein the poseSsion of integrity and
truth they appear to stand in the midst of almost
Universal chicanery, imposition, and falieliood. In
fact, they spew like a distinct class of amiable
~beings far removed, by the superiority of their
natures, from the common mass of treachery, bac-
ness, ingratitude and crime. Neither are they,
as might be supposed from this 'description, of
that species of;well-meaning but weak enthusiasts,
who, floating in regions of imaginaq perfection
and sublimity, are insensible to the realities of
life, and reoiidless of the discharge of those duties,
the faithful fulfilment of which their participation
of humanity imposes upon them. They' are, oil
the contrary, enthusiasts of the right kind ; en•
thusiasts in the eatiie .of active and social virtue,
in the observance of the golden rules which Make
man the friend of man, and in the performance
of those acts of benevolence, charity, and kind-
ness, which, if more, generally the. al it of mau.
kind, would enhance the felicity of the human
race, and pour forth blessings more than
dent to outrival the. fable of a Saturnian era.

The length and importance of the period cm-
braced in these epistles add greatly to their in-
terest—Upwards of half a century from 1750 to
1803—half a century! the latter part of %Odell
would have been the most niomentous in'the page
of history, but for the events of the ten succeed-
ing.years.. Such a time, illnstrated, though only
in literature and sentiment, by the pens of re-
corderi so honest and fa7thful, must produce some-
'thing of more than c07.-imon value. The task of
translation has been ably performed' by Miss
lkoEß.' Faithful to the original, there is yet
an case and spirit in her labours which is rarely
found in works Of this kind, where, it. is so diffi-
colt to turn the-sense of the. Author into pure
EngHO, and avoid the barbarisms in style which
almost invariably pollute the most carefully re=
vised efforts of the Translator.

The biographical introduction is useful and
entertaining. It states that these letters first ap-
peared in Germany four years. ago,, when they
were laid before the public under the direction of
KLAMERSCHMIDT, a writer of some reputation,
and one of KLOPSToCK.'S intimate friends, Kim P^
STOCK is best known to British Readers from his.
celebrated Poem " The Messiah ;" which, to-
gether with the Letters in Mrs. BARB.AVLD's
cation of Richardson's Correspondence, and Miss
Smith's Memoirs, have greatly endeared him to
all classes of the people, •and raised his name (as
a Foreign Writer) to almost unexampled distinc4
tion. To this well-earned character, these letters
tire adapted to add another honour. They are
replete with mind, and evince the finest spirit of
philanthropy, and this. remark.' apnlies not only
to KLOPSTOOK.S own proiliretidn, but to those of
loony of his " Friends among whom, in this
volume, we have ails Father, his.Consia ScastiDT,
also a Poet; GLF:rbi, the Scholar, Poet, ar,d ad-
mirable man;. FANNYSCiiimoy, the first love of
the Author of the-Messiah; MARCARtT
who succeeded her in his affections, and became
the. Wife of the person she adored ; tl•e
Author of " The...94ring," a Poem and sem al

nthers of various endowments, whose luenbra-
rigos agreeably divet:sify the letters of the more

regular correspondents.
It will, of course, be expected from us to lay
before our Readers a specimen of this agreeable
Correspondence; but the . Letters are all so na-
tural and pleasing that we are at a loss how to
make any selection, and ►oust resort to the sortes
Klopstocfriance for the first three which chance pro-
duces.—They follow :

FROM META MOLLER TO GLEIM.
IlainZuefrk, st/i September.
I shall always have a gratefni sense of your
kindness in sending me KlopStock's portrait*.
What was my joy on its arrival I With what
raptvre was it welcomed every day—with what
caresses cherished every hour ! I must tell you
I have contrived to place it in a position to he
visible from every part of my chamber ; and, oh !
how often are these eyes turned to that spot ! I
will confess I miss in it the looks I have been ac-
customed to steal. from Klopstock's eyes—that
peculiar expression of his countenance which
seems for• me alone ; yet still am 1 (all in all) de-
lighted with the resemblance.

I would fain send you a copy of this portrait,
but ( ilas, for Hamburgh), I know not a single
painter to whom I could confide the task. I shall,
however, endeavour to ascertain which is the best
of those who are all below mediocrity, for even a
bad copy is better than none. Gieseke has re-
lated to me the history of your late disappoint-
►uent, on which forbear to mike any comment,
lest I should recall your own painful recollections.
'\'et do not imag►ne I • can believe you will suffer
the levity of one girl of whoa► you had seer► too
little, to have any well-founded assurance of her
affection to inspire you with an illiberal distrust
tif oltr whole sex. Were it possible to entertain
s►ipposition so injurious to your character, I
should consider the exception attributed to my-
self, as a very equivocal compliment ; b►►t I have
too much respect for your discernment, and too
rn►sch confidence in the goodness of your heart,
to admit the suspicion for a single moment. I
should rather expect, that experience would lead
you to renounce the little arrogant opi►tion, that
a girt is to be known and won in one quarter of
an hour.

I have now so much reason to be satisfied, that
I should feel it presumption to ask for any blessing
I, do not already pos,sess, and trust I do not breathe
a wish that is not tempered by the spirit of resig-
nation.

META NIOLLER.

* This portrait, for which Klopstock sat at Zurich, was pnr-
eh:Q.syd by Kleist, and by him presented to Gleini, who parted
from it to afford Meta some consolation during her lover's
absence.

META MOLLER TO GLEIM.
Hamburg /1, 9th March.
At length I haVe it in my power to transmit
the copy of my Klopstock's portrait.
You are well aware, that if I have so long he-
sitated to perform my engagement, it has been
wit;i the hope of discovering a better artist. This
expectation has not been gratified, but little as I
ant satisfied with the substitute, I can withhold it
'no longer. liven the original portrait but im-
perfectly conveyed the sweet engaging elr;pression
of my Klopstoeles countenance; in this copy he
has actually a sullen brow. Remember, my dear
Mr. Glein►, you have an undoubted right to re-
claim your picture companion whenever I have
the original friend; and thiS change now appears
at no great dista►ice. Never shall I forget your
kindness in so long submitting to the privation
for my satisfaction, aml scarcely can I forgive
►myself for having so long left you to solitude. Ab=
solve me, lylwever, from all intentional neglect,
and believe me

Your constant friend,
And for a short time,
META AIOLLER.

KLOPSTOCK TO HIS FATHER.
Copenhagen, Sth Not,. 175 G.
The state of your health, dearest father, of which
I was ?esterday apprized by my mother's letter,
has filled me with unutterable solicitude. It is,
'however, some consolation to reflect, that the
rupture of a blood-vessel is not so alarming at
your age, a 3 when it takes place at an earlier pe-
riod. May God preserve your life—it would
pierce tne to the soul to think I should never see you
in this world again. I have !Ong, and, indeed,
ever felt you were inexpressibly dear to me, my
beloved, my honoured father yet I now endea-
vour to force myself from the thoughts of your
danger, and to leave all to God, the supreme dis-
poser of human events, by whom they are all di-
rected and superintended in wisdom and in love.
I must write no more on this subject, but have
entreated Olde * to transmit his opinion on your
case.

Let me now inform you in what manner I
have been lately occupied. lam writing a Tra-
gedy, called Adam ; but A have also undertaken
another Work, which I consider as my second
vocation. It is my object to compose a series of
Songs for the worship of God, a task which is,
in my judgment at least, as arduous as any I could
have attempted ; since it is necessary, without
departing from the dignity of religion, to conci-
liate popular feelings, and to keep on a level with
the most ordinary capacity. Hitherto it appears
to me, that these devotional essays have been
blessed with success.-1 hare already composed
}►yams for all the Holy PeSctivals (Christmas ex-
crptcd) adapteVto tJae metody, Lord God we
praise thee.' ilany of our best spiritual Songs I
have only altered, some are re-composed. I shall
soon transmit to you specimens pf both.

KLOPSTOCK.
POSTSCRIPT BY META.---The account of your
illness, my dearest father, is no less afflictive to
me than to your own children, for you arc my
ifehrest, best, and now only father. Ah ! 1 suffer
doubly—tor myself and my husband. Never have
seen Klopstock in such a state as he has been
in since the arrival of yesterday's letter. May
God support you all under your present affliction,
suy beloved mother, my sister, my brother.
