 Pragae, 1570. His Epigramma in Thermas Caroli IV 

 is p. 179. We possess also Ms Epistolae and his 

 Lucubrationes oratoriae. His cotemporaries called 

 hint, the Ulysses, the Pliny, the Horace of Bohemia; 

 they might also have called him their Juvenal , for 

 his satire on the nobility , gentry and people of his 

 country, and for his very sharp letter on the morals 

 of Prague. His works, formerly taught at Leipxic, 

 among the roman classics, are now very rare; scar- 

 cely more than fifteen copies are extant in the prin- 

 cipal public and private libraries of Bohemia and 

 Austria. He is commonly called The Great Bohe-

 the 16lh March 1808 , where his father, a native 

 of Wirtemberg, keeps the Posthof, one of our best 

 Restaurans. He received his first education at Carls- 

 bad , but, when eleven years old, he was sent to 

 Dresden (1819), to study under Mr.Philippi, director 

 of a celebrated institution. Three years after he went 

 to Pilsen (a small town in Bohemia) . to attend his 

 last philosophical classes. About that time he began 

 to learn English, French and Italian, which he under- 

 stands very well, and speaks as easily as can be 

 expected from a young man, overloaded with other 

 studies, and having few opportunities of conversation
