The German clergy here dress exactly the same as the English clergy i.e., in long robes with wide sleeves in which I likewise was obliged to wrap myself. Mr. Wendeborn wears his own hair, which curls naturally, and the toupee is combed up. The other German clergymen whom I have seen wear wigs, as well as many of the English.
It is the more useful, as you can with ease carry it in your pocket, and you find in it information on every subject. It is natural to suppose that Mr. Wendeborn, who has now been a length of time in England, must have been able more frequently, and with greater exactness to make his observations, than those who only pass through, or make a very short stay.
The only branch of natural history, on which the author descants, is mineralogy and geology. Itinerarium Magnæ Brittaniæ, oder Reise Beschrievbung durch Engel. Schott. und Irland. Strasburg, 1672. 8vo. Reise durch England. Von Volkman. Leipsic, 1781-2. 4 vols. 8vo. Arts, manufactures, economy, and natural history. Der Lustand der Staats, der Religion, &c. in Gros Britanien. Von Wendeborn.
I preached this day at the German church on Ludgate Hill, for the Rev. Mr. Wendeborn. He is the author of "Die statischen Beytrage zur nahern Kentniss Grossbrittaniens." This valuable book has already been of uncommon service to me, and I cannot but recommend it to everyone who goes to England.
It is almost impossible for anyone, who has this book always at hand, to omit anything worthy of notice in or about London; or not to learn all that is most material to know of the state and situation of the kingdom in general. Mr. Wendeborn lives in New Inn, near Temple Bar, in a philosophical, but not unimproving, retirement.
A purchaser of any of these rooms is considered as a proprietor; and one who has got a house and home, and has a right, in parliamentary or other elections, to give his vote, if he is not a foreigner, which is the case with Mr. Wendeborn, who, nevertheless, was visited by Mr. Fox when he was to be chosen member for Westminster. I saw, for the first time, at Mr.
Wendeborn makes use of this machine every time he sends manuscripts abroad, of which he wishes to keep a copy. This machine was of mahogany, and cost pretty high. I suppose it is because the inhabitants of London rise so late, that divine service begin only at half-past ten o'clock. I missed Mr. Wendeborn this morning, and was therefore obliged to enquire of the door-keeper at St.
Wendeborn has written a grammar for the German language in English, for the use of Englishmen, which has met with much applause. I must not forget to mention, that the works of Mr. Jacob Boehmen are all translated into English. London, 13th June. Often as I had heard Ranelagh spoken of, I had yet formed only an imperfect idea of it.
