Strange that Koreff * has never sent me a line to 

 acknowledge all we have been doing for him here.

HUMBOLDT TO VARNHAGEN. 



Berlin, 21 st November, 1827. 



Wednesday night. 



As I rely more on your good nature and my own 

 notes which I followed strictly than on the report of 

 it taken down by my audience, I herewith send you, 

 my esteemed friend, the whole of the fifth Lecture, 

 together with to-day's recapitulation of it. You cer- 

 tainly will find no anti-philosophical tendency in it. 

 Make any use of the papers you like only no copying 

 for the press and be so good as to send them back by 

 Saturday. That the notes were intended merely for 

 my own use, you will perceive from the absence of 

 order in their arrangement. The desire, however, of 

 acting candidly sets me above any anxiety the whisper 

 of vanity can create in me. 



A. HUMBOLDT. 



These papers (the Lectures) were to have been shown to Pro- 

 fessor Hegel, in consequence of a report that had reached him, that 

 Humboldt had allowed expressions hostile to philosophy to creep 

 into them.
