[Footnote 73: This seems very odd in view of the fact that in Loeper's edition of ”Dichtung und Wahrheit” (Hempel, XXII, p. 264) Gellius is referred to as ”the translator of Lillo and Sterne.” It must be that Loeper did not know that Gellius's ”Yorick's Nachgela.s.sene Werke” was a translation of the Koran.]

[Footnote 74: The problem involved in the story of Count Gleichen was especially sympathetic to the feeling of the eighteenth century. See a series of articles by Fr. Heibig in _Magazin fur Litteratur des In- und Auslandes_, Vol. 60, pp. 102-5; 120-2; 136-9. ”Zur Geschichte des Problems des Grafen von Gleichen.”]

This does not imply that Sterne was in this respect an innovator; such books were printed before Sterne's influence was felt, _e.g._, _Magazin von Einfallen_, Breslau, 1763 (?), reviewed in _Leipziger Neue Zeitungen von Gelehrten Sachen_, February 20, 1764. See also ”Reisen im Vaterlande,--Kein Roman aber ziemlich theatralisch-politisch und satyrischen Inhalts,” two volumes; Konigsberg and Leipzig, 1793-4, reviewed in _Allg. Litt.

Zeitung_, 1795, III, p. 30. ”Der Tandler, oder Streifereyen in die Wildnisse der Einbildungskraft, in die Werke der Natur und menschlichen Sitten,” Leipzig, 1778 (?), (_Almanach der deutschen Musen_, 1779, p. 48). ”Meine Geschichte oder Begebenheiten des Herrn Thomas: ein narkotisches Werk des Doktor Pifpuf,” Munster und Leipzig, 1772, pp. 231, 8vo.
