commonly known as Bettina von Arnim. A German writer (1785-1859), sister of Clemens Brentano, and famed for "Goethe's Correspondence with a Child"; which, to a great extent fictitious, is, from a purely poetic point of view, one of the fairest specimens of romanticism. It was translated by her into English, and in that garb constitutes a literary curiesity. Of a similar nature is her correspondence with Caroline von Gunderode, the friend of her youth, published under the title "Die Gunderode" (1840). She also wrote "This Book Belongs to the King" (1843), an attempt to solve the question of pauperism.
