TREITSCHKE, Friedrich, born about 1780, at Leipsic. Return- 

 ing from Switzerland to his native town about the end 

 of last century, he made the acquaintance of Ochsen- 

 heimer; in 1802 he removed to Vienna, and was em- 

 ployed as Author and Registrar at the Royal Opera ; he 

 was subsequently promoted to the post of Hoftheater-Oe- 

 konom. In 1806 Treitschke was driven into the country 

 by ill health : this gave him greater opportunity for col- 

 lecting ; and from that time he and Ochsenheimer were in- 

 separable. He rendered some assistance in the production 

 of the 4th vol. of " Die Schmetterlinge von Europa," 

 which appeared in 1816, carried on the work after Och- 

 senheimer^ s decease, and brought it to a conclusion in 

 1835 ; besides this, Treitschke wrote a small work,
