he sends me, I find, not exactly original views, but, 

 by implication, a variety of positive information 

 which I had not expected to meet with in Lasaulx. 

 Numerous quotations show a strong predilection 

 for my brother's views. The passage respecting the 

 Slavic Messiah is also very remarkable ; indeed, alto- 

 gether, the notes offer a very graceful classical antho- 

 logy. President Grerlach and his brother, to whom 

 Prof. Gelzer from Basel, and others of opposite 

 opinions have been officially directed for the Neuf- 

 chatel negotiation, I do not think would be capable 

 of similar things. If the work of Lasaulx, with its 

 wishes for the regenerated old German Imperial 

 Constitution, has not been sent to you, dear friend, 

 look through it, if you please, if only for the sake of 

 the notes. 



My cutaneous complaint is much better, therefore 

 my nocturnal diligence is also progressing favourably. 

 The last (fourth) volume of " Kosmos" will consist of 

 two parts, that is to say, of two volumes, each con- 

 taining thirty-five sheets, of which the first is al- 

 ready printed ; they are now at press with the second. 

 Both parts, however*, are to appear together, that 

 the effect may not be diminished. The arrogant 

 and incautious manner in which this miserable 

 Neufchatel business has been managed here, exposes 

 Prussia to great humiliations at Paris. Vengeance 

 will be taken on Prussia, for Waterloo, as it has 

 been on Russia. With sincere friendship, 



Yours,
