Excerpt from Lessing, Vol. 1 of 2

Every educated Englishman is supposed to know some thing of Goethe and Schiller; but probably few have any thing like an adequate idea of the character and labours of Lessing. Yet Goethe and Schiller built upon the foun dations he had laid, and no German ever lived whose career is more thoroughly worthy of study. He was a man of singularly noble and attractive nature, and cast abroad more germs of fruitful thought than any other writer of his time. In him we find the ideal of the best qualities of the eighteenth century, and some of those considered most characteristic of the epoch in which we ourselves live.
