Synopsis

Excerpt from Epistola Critica Ad Amicos J. Van Leeuwen Et M. B. Mendes da Costa<br/><br/>Hic autem Goethei mihi in mentem veniebat, qui de sua vita vera fictaque scribens et alia lepidissime salsissimeque marrat et iuvenem se a quodam amico, homine eiusmodi sen tentiarum, quae nagoîdo£a dicuntur, amantissimo, saepe ad monitum ne carmina in vulgus ederet amittere enim pretium suum quae publice prostarent et multorum contrectarentur manibus: paucissima potius eorum exemplaria describenda curaret, quae intimis amicis dono darentur; ipsum autem, qui illud dedisset consilium Baehrischio ei nomen fuit, nisi me fallit memoria cum elegantissime scriberet, ad eum laborem operam suam esse pollicitum.
