A noted German publicist and historian; born at Osnabruck, Dec. 14, 1720; died there, Jan. 8, 1794. He held very important government posts. Modern German historiography may be said to date from him; his theory being that history should describe the development of peoples, laws, customs, and habits, instead of being a mere chronicle of dynasties and wars. His most celebrated works were "History of Osnabruck" (3d ed. 1819); and "Patriotic Reveries" (latest ed. 1871), a work of national importance. ("Works", 10 vols., Berlin, 1842-44.)
