Christ a suicide, attempt of a Prussian or Saxon baron to prove. cf. Works VIII, 336. PHILOSOPHY. Basedow, Joh. Bernhard (1723-1790). De Quincey (Works XIV, 45) refers to him as the one who introduced Rousseau into Germany, speaks of his services in the science of Pedagogy and adds, "He had a silly ambition of being reputed an infidel". Böhme, Jacob (1575-1624). cf. Works V, 183, note. De Quincey presented Coleridge with a set of Böhme's works. Bouterwek, Fr. (1766-1828). cf. Works X, 41 ff. De Quincey knew probably Geschichte der Poesie und Beredsamkeit seit dem Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts. 1801-1807. Brucker, Joh. Jacob (1696-1770). Historia critica philosophiae etc. 1742-44. cf. Works X, 66. The above is certainly the work referred to. Buhle, Joh. Gottlieb Gerh. (1763-1821). cf. Works VII, 201. De Quincey refers to Buhle's edition of Aristotle, 1791-1804, and his History of Philosophy; the latter is certainly Lehrbuch der Geschichte der Philosophie und einer kritischen Litteratur derselben, 1796-1804. De Quincey drew his material for the Historico-critical Inquiry into the Origin of the Rosicrusians and Free-Masons (See Appendix I, p. 120) from Buhle's Ueber den Ursprung und die Schicksale des Ordens der Rosenkreuzer und Freimaurer, 1804. Darjes, Joachim Georg (1714-1791). De Quincey (VIII, 140, note) speaks of him and "other followers of Wolff". Fichte (1762-1814). cf. Works II, 146; III, 397; X, 429 f. a quotation from Fichte's Ueber den Begriff des wahrhaften Krieges. cf. Fichte's Werke, Berlin 1845, Band IV, S. 401 ff. De Quincey quotes from memory and not exactly. Hegel (1770-1831.) cf. Works XII, 464. De Quincey calls. Hegel "the great master of the impenetrable", and refers to the poor commentaries on his works. Lambert, Joh. Heinrich (1728-1777). cf. Works IV, 430; V, 339; Posth. Works II, 62. Leibnitz (1646-1714). cf. Works IV, 423; X, 16 ff.; XI, 157; Posth. Works II, 228. De Quincey seems to have read Leibnitz carefully. He mentions Leibnitz' Letters (Edited by Feder, Hannover 1815), (cf. Works V, 95), and the Theodicee, 1710. cf. Works II, 170; V, 344; X, 214. There are also the following references to Leibnitz : note. His criticism of Locke. ib. II, 94. His use of the word "apperception"; ib. II, 203; X, 75, His idea of a philosophical language; ib. III, 250, note. His recognition of Lord Shaftesbury's Characteristics; ib. IV, 27, note. His explanation of the old puzzle of Achilles and the tortoise; ib. V, 332, 348, note. Erdmann's edition of Leibnitz' Works; ib. V, 349. His remark that no two leaves, even from the same tree, could be duplicates; ib. V, 357, note. His use of the phrase "sufficient reason"; ib. VI, 99. His distinction between ratio cognoscendi and ratio essendi; ib. VIII, 58. His fine philosophic style; ib. VIII, 92. His principium indiscernibilium; ib. X, 129. Mendelsohn, Moses (1729-1786). Phädon, oder über die Unsterblichkeit der Seele, 1767. De Quincey (X, 384) speaks slightingly of Mendelsohn and his popularity in Germany. De Quincey refers (II, 155,) to Kant as "der alles zermalmende", "a remark made by one who weighed him well". This epithet was first applied by Mendelsohn: Vorrede zu den Morgenstunden, 1785. Schelling (1775-1854). cf. Works III, 397; VIII, 128; XI, 50; Posth. Works II, 16, 32. De Quincey refers (II, 145 f. and note) to Schelling's Kleine philosophische Werke. This is probably Schelling's Philosophische Schriften, 1809. A reference in the same connection to Coleridge's indebtedness to Schelling makes it clear that De Quincey had read System des transcendentalen Idealismus. De Quincey speaks of an essay in the Biographia Literaria as "prefaced by a few words”, in which Coleridge explains his obligations to Schelling, but insists that he had developed the same ideas independently. "What was my astonishment", writes De Quincey, "to find that the entire essay, from the first word to the last, is a verbatim translation from Schelling". Coleridge's statement really stands in another section of the Biographia Literaria. The original which De Quincey mentions as found in Philosophische Schriften is really in System des transcendentalen Idealismus. The whole is not verbatim, but parts of it are. cf. Coleridge's Works, 7 vols, New York 1884. Vol. III, 332 ff. (foot-notes). De Quincey describes (XI, 50) Fr. Schlegel's claims as a philosopher as demolished by a foot-note of Schelling's. There are foot-notes referring to Schlegel in Ueber das Wesen der menschlichen Freiheit, and Denkmal der Schrift von den göttlichen Dingen etc. But none of them justify De Quincey's remark. Schleiermacher (1768-1834). cf. Works XII, 464. Tennemann, Wilhelm Gottlieb (1761-1819). cf. Works X, 185. Tiedemann, Dietrich (1748-1803). Geist der speculativen Philosophie (1791-97). cf. Works IV, 380, note; X, 185. Wolf, Christian von (1679-1754). cf. Works X, 75 f., note; XI, 157. German philosophers on the Lisbon earthquake. cf. Posth. Works II, 134, note. A German philosophers remark that the catechism of the English church is the most metaphysical of books. cf. Works IX, 148. LITERARY REFERENCES. Arndt, Ernst Moritz (1769-1860). Erinnerungen aus dem äusseren Leben, 1840. That De Quincey knew this book is proved by a quotation; cf. Posth. Works I, 223 f. and the third edition of Arndt's work (Leipzig 1842), p. 170. Posth. Works II, 209; Arndt's opinion of the French military disposition. Brun, Friederike (1765-1835). cf. Works II, 143; Posth. Works II, 32. Bodmer, Joh. Jacob (1698-1783). cf.

Works II, 228. Jacobi, Fr. Heinrich (1743-1819). cf. Works X, 122. Klopstock, Fr. Gottlieb (1724-1803). cf. Works II, 170 ff.; IV, 383., 426 ff. Kotzebue, August Friedrich Ferdinand v.

Novalis (Friedrich Leopold von Hardenberg, 1772-1801). cf. Works VIII, 346, 410, note; XII, 464. De Quincey refers to some speculations by Novalis on the forms of the constellations; to the idea of Novalis "that certain modes of ill health are prerequisites towards certain modes of intellectual development". Opitz, Martin (1597–1639). cf. Works IV, 423; X, 256, note. Schlegel, Friedrich von (1772-1829) and A. W. von Schlegel (1767-1845).
