"List of authorities consulted," v.2, p.575-576.
"A peculiar lot," wrote Goethe, rather audaciously, "fell to thee, O
Weimar, small and great like Bethlehem in Judaea." The rapid rise of
the little city from obscurity to prominence was due to the gathering
together there of a small circle of remarkable people, which included
Goethe, Herder, Wieland, Angelica Kauffmann and Madame de Stael,
with the Duchess Anna Amalia as the centre of the circle.

"As painfully interesting a book as the library of Autobiography contains
...the story of a man's life, told by himself with such an agony of
self-exaltation that it is impossible to withhold pity, akin though that
be to contempt. There is no want of vivacity in the narrative—but a
prevailing want of veracity, such as must always distinguish works
professedly written for effect." Edinburgh review, 1871.
Bernard, St. abbot of Clairvaux.
Storrs, Richard Salter. Bernard of Clairvaux; the times,
the man and his work; an historical study in eight lectures.
1892 g 2 B456S.
"Eight popular lectures, resting upon no profound original study and not
inspiring to future inquiry... It is extremely readable, and will doubtless
do more to fix upon the general reading public of our day a picture
of the typical man of the Middle Ages than a worthier treatment
could possibly effect." Nation, 1893.
