Such judgments remind us that criticism, which is intended to be a picture of another, is in reality a picture of oneself. In his lehrjahre Stevenson "slogged at his trade," beyond peradventure; but no man came to be more individually and independently himself.
I soon recovered, but for years I suffered from occasional paroxysms of internal pain, and from that time my constant friend, hypochondriacal dyspepsia, commenced his half century of co-tenancy of my fleshly tabernacle. Looking back on my "Lehrjahre," I am sorry to say that I do not think that any account of my doings as a student would tend to edification.
Readers of Scott will remember Fenella, the elfish maiden in "Peveril of the Peak." Scott says in his Preface to that novel: "The character of Fenella, which from its peculiarity made a favorable impression on the public, was far from being original. The fine sketch of Mignon in Wilhelm Meister's Lehrjahre a celebrated work from the pen of Goethe gave the idea of such a being.
There are other hints and allusions in the story which, I think, show that it could scarcely have been begun while Philip II was alive. From Wilhelm Meister, Lehrjahre, chapter xii, thus Englished by Thomas Carlyle: "Who never ate his bread in sorrow, Who never spent the darksome hours Weeping and watching for the morrow, He knew you not, ye unseen Powers."

We spoke of the church and society, and all topics that do so excite the youthful mind. I must break short off to dress for my party. I shall speak to you again before you know that I have been. Saturday. To-day I have finished the "Lehrjahre." It is very calm and wise.
Dr. Robert Riemann in his study of Goethe’s novels, calls Friedrich in “Wilhelm Meister’s Lehrjahre” a
Since the limitations of life appear most forcibly to correspondents in limited sheets of paper, let me bear away abruptly from music. My German progresses finely. I have read Novalis's poetry, and am just now finishing the "Lehrjahre." I read three or four hours daily, and am pleased at my progress. Burrill and I have just finished Johnson's "Elements of Agricultural Chemistry" and Buel's book.
