Hesperus lays bare many little wiles dear to feminine hearts, and contains some keenly sympathetic satire on German housewifery. While still at work on Hesperus Jean Paul returned to his mother's house at Hof. "Richter's study and sitting-room offered about this time," says Doering, his first biographer, "a true and beautiful picture of his simple yet noble mind, which took in both high and low.
His examination of the German Playwrights, of Taylor's German Literature, and his inimitable sketch of Herr Doering, the hapless biographer of Richter, are as amusing as is Macaulay's coup de grace to Robert Montgomery. But the graver critic would have us take to heart these sentences of his essay on Voltaire:
Doering says there were only two powerful reasons, revenge and fear, and a ratio probabilis introduced by tum; which has the force of insuper. According to Dr. When those who were around had raised up the king in a dying state, the lictors seize on the men who were endeavouring to escape. Upon this followed an uproar and concourse of people, wondering what the matter was.
To that house he removed his family from over his store, and lived there twenty-five years, when it was turned over to business purposes. About the year 1853, he erected the fine business block on Water street, now occupied by Stillson, Leek & Doering, at a cost of fifteen thousand dollars. In 1868, he put up the handsome block on the same street that is occupied by Childs & Co.
Of his virile youth one gets hardly an inkling. The year 1836 brought a valuable contribution to the knowledge of Schiller's youth in Schillers Flucht von Stuttgart, by Andreas Streicher. From this time on the biographies are numerous. A mediocre one by Doering, first published in 1832, was often reprinted in subsequent years.
