MAECENAS AND HIS HAPPENINGS 171 



Georg Forster held a Professorship at Wilna for some 

 time, but returned to Cassel. His reputation never 

 diminished during his lifetime, which closed prematurely 

 in 1794. Among his numerous writings may be found a 

 European Travel-book, containing a notice of the Fine 

 Arts, etc., in England.
