A German historian of literature; born at Paris, April 28, 1805; died at Aarau, Switzerland, Feb. 24, 1873. Having suffered two years' imprisonment for articles published in his paper, the Augsburg Times, he removed to Switzerland, where he held several professorships and made a special study of German literature. The results of his investigations are embodied in the well-known "History of German Literature" (4 vols., 1851; 1868-72). Equally important are: "Handbook of the National Poetic Literature of the Germans" (1840-43); "Handbook of German Prose" (1845-52.) "Manual of Sacred History".
