[Footnote 27: This article is not to be confused with Garve's well-known article published in the same magazine, LXI, pp. 51-77 (1798).]

[Footnote 28: IV, St. 2, pp. 376-7.]

[Footnote 29: This is from the February number, 1767, of the _Monthly Review_. (Vol. x.x.xVI, p. 102.)]

[Footnote 30: The seventh and eighth volumes of Shandy, English edition, are reviewed in the first number of a short-lived Frankfurt periodical, _Neue Auszuge aus den besten auslandischen Wochen und Monatsschriften_, 1765. _Unterhaltungen_, a magazine published at Hamburg and dealing largely with English interests, notes the London publication of the spurious ninth volume of Shandy (Vol. II, p. 152, August, 1766). _Die Brittische Bibliothek_, another magazine consisting princ.i.p.ally of English reprints and literary news, makes no mention of Sterne up to 1767.

Then in a catalogue of English books sold by Casper Fritsch in Leipzig, Shandy is given, but without the name of the author.

There is an account of Sterne's sermons in the _Neue Hamburgische Zeitung_, April, 1768.]

Mendelssohn. Leipzig, Brockhaus, 1844. Vol. V, p. 171.]

156-157. See also ”Lessing und die Englander” by Josef Caro in _Euphorion_, VI, pp. 489 ff. Erich Schmidt made the statement in his life of Lessing in the edition of 1884, but corrected it later, in the edition of 1899, probably depending on parallel pa.s.sages drawn from Paul Albrecht's ”Lessing's Plagiate” (Hamburg and Leipzig, 1888-1891), an extraordinary work which by its frequent absurdity and its viciousness of attack forfeits credence in its occasional genuine discoveries.]

Hamann asks Herder to remind his publisher, when the latter sends the promised third part of the ”Fragmente,” to inclose without fail the engraving of Sterne, because the latter is absolutely essential to his furnis.h.i.+ngs.]
