ORIGINAL ANECDOTES, LETTERS, &, 
A BioGRAPHIEAL SKETCH OF THE 
JEWISH SOCRATES. 
HE national character of the jewith 
people has proved fo ayerfe to let- 
ters, that fome will not ealily believe that 
they can boaft of no concile catalogue of 
jlluftrious men. Obfolete fuperititions, 
hereditary cuftoms, and political oppref- 
fions, have ifolated this people; but the 
human intelle€t was never crufhed out of 
this diffufion of men. In every age they 
may poine to fome of their brothers, 
~ whom, perhaps, they are incapable of ef- 
teeming, but whom pofterity remembers. 
Whenever a‘nation fuffers, it thinks ; and 
the Jews have, therefore, had bold think- 
ers, but often fituation has made thefe 
bold thinkers timid men. In this more 
polithed age, they have not been without 
fome, whofe minds have caught the en- 
thufafm of fame, and who have breathed 
a portion of that ethereal fpirit, which is 
touched by the glory fof philofophy and 
of letters, and confoles feeble humanity, 
amidit its human afflictions. 
Of the modern literary Jews, many have 
been opulent, and their productions, ele- 
gant and refined, want the energy of ori- 
ginality. Urbane, timid, and defiring 
nothing but public efteem, they have reft- 
ed fatiefed in embeilifhing the gay pre- 
ein&s of the more agreeable literature. 
Yet they have had (and fill have in Ber- 
lin*), ftudents, whofe fcience now en- 
lightens 
a 
* Such are the celebrated Mark ELEAzAR 
Brocu, whefe fplendid works on fithes, and 
on aquatic animals, has diffufed his reputa- 
tion, which has injured his fortune. His 
medical works are not lefs highly efteemed. 
Sotomon MaINIoN, agreat metaphyfici- 
an, whom fome have confidered equally pro- 
found, and philofophical, with the philofopher 
whofe life we record, but not his rivalin ele- 
gance of diétion. A warm advocate for Kant. 
Marx Herz, a great natural philofopher, 
who found a patron in the Prince of Wal- 
deck, and whofe experiments in natural phi- 
lofophy attract goo auditors, of the firft rank 
and genius in Berlin. 
Leon GomMreERTz, whodoes not compofe 
works of philofophy es Mendelffohn and 
Maron, nor of natural hiftory and phyfics, 
as Herz and Brocy3 but on literary topics 
and the drama. All thefe Jews have found 
themfelves in. parallel fituations, andemerged 
from their tribes under the fame difficulties. 
+ is a tribute due to the Baronefs of: 
Recxe, the eldeft fitter of the reigning 
Duchefs of CourLanp, toacknowledge her 
as the patrone(s of all literary men; and to 
have abolifhed that melancholy prejudice 
which even in this age has formed odious 
 diftin@tiansy
