Friedrich von Schlegel to Carl Gustav von Brinckmann

Pray, Sir, do not contempt me so much, as to send one Volume only at once of the works of this John Bull, whose classic bestiality is so infinitely amusing. I can swallow up and digest II or III Volumes of this cast with commodity every day. –
F. S.
