Chapter LVIII: Letter XLVIII: Paris, January 12th, 1829 (2)

[69] _Nadelholz_: a generic word including all trees with leaves like a needle,--pine, fir, larch, &c.--TRANSL.

[70] The minute description of the arrangements of the light-house is omitted, as most English readers are acquainted with them.--TRANSL.

[71]

A boy born in the month of October
Will be a critic, and a right surly one.--TRANSL.

[72] Judging from the results, he must have seen cause to alter his opinion.--EDITOR.

[73] I make no attempt to translate this, because the mere words would convey no idea to English readers; and I have no inclination to write, nor probably they to read, a commentary.--TRANSL.

[74] The Germans do not say _original sin_, but _hereditary sin_ (_Erbsünde_).--_Erbadel_ (hereditary nobility) being formed exactly in the same manner, there is a sort of _jeu de mots_, which the words in use here will not represent.--TRANSL.

[75] For the curious in Austrian philosophy and philology, I subjoin the original of the above, which loses, unhappily, its zest in plain English, as it would in good German.--TRANSL.

"Nix is halt dümmer," sagte er, "als sich um de Zukunft gräme! Schaun's, als i hierher kam, war's grade Sommer, und die Season schon vorbei. Nu hatt' en Andrer sich gegrämt, grad in so schlechter Zeit herkommen zu seyn; aber i dacht, 's wird sich schon hinziehen, und richtig, 's hat sich bis zum November hingezogen! Unterdessen hat mich der Esterhazy ufs Land genemmen, wo i mich gar herrlich amüsirt hab, und nu is noch a Monat schlecht, dann wird's wieder full, die Bälle und die Routs gehn an, und i kann's nie mehr besser wünschen! Wär' i nu nich a rechter Narr gewesen, mi zu gräme ohne Noth? hab i ni recht? Man muss in der Welt grad wie ne H---- leben und nimmer zuviel an die Zukunft denken."

[76] '_Ihren Kindern den heiligen Christ bescheerte._' The presents which it is the universal custom in Germany to make to children on a Christmas eve, are given in the name of the infant;--the _Christkindchen_ so dear to all German children.--TRANSL.

[77] _Befreiungskrieg._ The war against Napoleon is commonly known by that name in Germany.--TRANSL.

[78] A _parforce jagd_ is, in one word, _a hunt_; for _jagd_, like _chasse_, includes shooting and other field-sports; but, as will be seen, I could not leave out the _parforce_ without destroying the sentence.--TRANSL.

[79] This refers to the ancient fable of _Reinecke Fuchs_.--TRANSL.

[80] The Germans say, "_Sand in die Augen streuen_," to scatter _sand_ (not dust) in the eyes. Here, as in so many other cases, difference of idiom destroys a 'jeu de mots.'--TRANSL.

[81] Adelaide, Princess Carolath, born Countess von Pappenheim; daughter of the Noble Lady to whom these letters are addressed, by the Bavarian General-of-division Count von Pappenheim, and mentioned in a former part of the work under the name of Emily.--TRANSL.

[82] A learned antiquarian once told me that the old painters generally painted on a ground of chalk, and used preparations for fixing their colours, whence they are so permanent, fresh, and brilliant. Strange that people don't give themselves the trouble to try this experiment!

[83] The verses alluded to are these:

"Oh what were Love made for, if 'tis not the same
Through joy and through torment, through glory and shame?
I know not, I ask not, if guilt's in that heart;
I but know that I love thee--whatever thou art."

[84] The translation seems to be inferior to the others by the Author and hardly worth copying.--

[85] "_Uns in ihrer Nationalität hineinzudenken_," (to think ourselves forth into their nationality);--a compound word which may give some faint idea of the advantages a writer in the German language must ever possess over his translator.--TRANSL.

[86] Of German money, of course, is meant.--TRANSL.

[87] Owing to the adoption of the French word _pigeon_, instead of the English word _dove_, this sentence loses its point. I did not however venture to astonish my readers by translating _Tauben-club_, Dove-club, though that would have done more justice to the author's meaning. In Norfolk and Suffolk, where some very pure English is still preserved among the 'vulgar,' _dove_, or as they call it _dow_, is still the common appellative of the whole genus,--as in the cognate language.--TRANSL.

[88] The peculiar Alpine cry at the end of the Tyrol songs, which is heard to an immense distance, is called the _Jodle_.--TRANSL.

[89] It is very extraordinary that English writers should constantly torture themselves to discover the causes of the enormous poor-rates, and of the more and more artificial and threatening state of the working classes, when there exists so obvious a discouragement to the outlay of capital and industry on land, (some of which with us would be called good, but here is esteemed not worth cultivation,) as tithes:--a man does not care to devote his capital and his sweat to a priest.--EDITOR.

[90] _Hauslichkeit._ We have not the word--unhappily.--TRANSL.

[91] The curious in such matters may find some amusement in the inquiry, whether or not there exists in England one drop of _stiftfähiges blut_--of that sort, namely, common throughout Germany, which can prove its seventy-two quarterings.--TRANSL.

[92] Certainly the motto of the Paris Society, 'Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera,' has never been carried so far 'in praxi.'--EDITOR.

[93] It is one of the greatest beauties of English landscape, that during the whole winter almost every house is adorned with the luxuriant blossoms and garlands of the monthly rose.

[94] Count Brühl is inspector of Theatres at Berlin, and in virtue of that office exercises _surveillance_ over the costumes, on the correctness of which he piques himself.--TRANSL.

[95] Where the contrary is not specified, the reader will understand English miles, four and a half of which go to a German mile.--EDITOR.

[96] _Inexpressibles_ is the name which this article of dress has received in England, where "in good society" a woman sometimes leaves her husband and children and runs off with her lover, but is always too decorous to be able to endure the sound of the word _breeches_.--EDITOR.

[97] A mountain spirit. See Musaus's Popular Tales.--TRANSL.

[98] By S----, the author apparently means Berlin.--TRANSL.

[99] In every nation the post ought to be extra-post. Many people indeed regret that the greater part of the State-machine is not driven by it. This might give it a jog, and put an end to the halt which it has made for half a century.--EDITOR.

[100] The English reader must be told, what to him will sound strangely enough, that "Wohlgeboren" is a higher title than "Edelgeboren."--TRANSLATOR.

[101] I am acquainted with other qualities of this 'artiste,' which would do honour to many of the 'industriel' noblemen of our time. For instance, he sends in his bill only once in five years, and is the most magnanimous of creditors. 'Avis aux lecteurs.'

[102] N. B. When the nobility is fitly constituted; that is to say, when it is a true national nobility, such as England in part possesses, or such as Gravell well describes in his "Regent."--EDITOR.

[103] My departed friend doubtless means to apply this to a certain class of functionaries, who, for good reasons, love nothing so well as mediocrity; for if I guess the scene aright, no where is merit more nobly honoured in the highest places. Of this the whole nation recently saw a most gratifying example in the affectionate respect paid to a revered statesman, whose merits are as exalted as his station. If there is a man who doubts of the former, it can be no other than himself.--EDITOR.

[104] If I were not certain that my friend wrote this passage in the year 1827, I should take it to be a reminiscence of President Jackson's first speech. The President proposes that all the public officers of the United States (with very few exceptions) be changed every fifth year. "Eheu jam satis!" What would our _Regiérungs Räthe_ (Government counsellors) say to such a scheme? Entire general commissions broken up, in the fullest sense of the word, at a blow! For who knows whether, at the end of five years, they would be thought worth the money they cost, and renewed at all?--EDITOR.

[105] Privy counsellors who have any functions, are distinguished from those who have none, by the addition to their title of _wirklicher_ (real, actual).--TRANSL.

[106] The intention of this law was noble and liberal, though it cut the knot rather roughly. But how has it been executed? A book might be written, _ought_ to be written, on this subject. The execution of this business is precisely in the style of a certain Herr von Wanze, who, in the disguise of a farmer, taught the opulent peasant Pharao at Kirmesse.{*}

{*} village festival.--_Transl._

"You put down your money," said he, "and I deal the cards right and left. What falls to the left I win; what falls to the right you lose."--EDITOR.

[107] It is but fair, however, to say that the exceptions to this description are many. When for instance Göthe does not disdain to send forth "a man of forty" among the minors; when Tieck takes pity upon us, and gives us a _real genuine "Novelle"_; L. Shefer moves our heart and spirit by his wild lightnings; Kruse makes a criminal trial graceful and attractive; or some Therese, Friederike, &c. discloses the otherwise impenetrable mysteries of the female heart (not to mention the varied merits of our other best tale-writers);--it is evident that there are workmen who could supply excellent and perfect wares it the whole manufacture were not spoiled by the established machinery.--EDITOR.

[108] It is but fair, however, to say that the exceptions to this description are many. When for instance Göthe does not disdain to send forth "a man of forty" among the minors; when Tieck takes pity upon us, and gives us a _real genuine "Novelle"_; L. Shefer moves our heart and spirit by his wild lightnings; Kruse makes a criminal trial graceful and attractive; or some Therese, Friederike, &c. discloses the otherwise impenetrable mysteries of the female heart (not to mention the varied merits of our other best tale-writers);--it is evident that there are workmen who could supply excellent and perfect wares it the whole manufacture were not spoiled by the established machinery.--EDITOR.

[109] It is only in English that the word _artist_ is absurdly restricted to painters, sculptors, and engravers. An artist is, in the German sense, a man who cultivates the fine arts,--poetry, painting, music, &c.--TRANSL.

[110] This pendulum may be used by acute servants as a sort of thermo- or hygro-meter of the patience of their respective masters and mistresses.--EDITOR.

[111] The inhabitants themselves cannot perfectly decide which termination is the right.{*}

{*} This is a joke which will be understood only by those who are
acquainted with the peculiarities of the Berlin dialect. The
inhabitants continually confound verbs which govern the dative
_mir_ (to me,) with those which require the accusative _mich_ (me);
for which they are much laughed at by the rest of Germany. The
first syllable of course alludes to the sandy plain in which Berlin
stands.--_Transl._

[112] N.B. Not to forget to ask our learned Professor Blindemann what he thinks of this interpretation.

[113] Among others, to the Commissioners of the Elbe Navigation, who have just made such a noble end of their labours, and have all received Orders for the same. I wonder whether Providence also will bestow an Order on me?

[114] To add a word in earnest: I would ask, who does not honour the humane motives which gave rise to the Bible and Missionary societies? But are these, even were they not subject, as unfortunately too often happens, to the most scandalous abuses, the right means to the end? The result in almost every case teaches us the direct contrary. It ought to be considered that God sent Christianity as the _second_ covenant; the _first_ was based entirely upon _earthly_ interests and _despotic power_.

If I did not fear to appear to treat the matter too lightly, I should almost be inclined to say that we ought to begin by converting savages into Jews, before we attempt to make them Christians. This would also harmonize in a peculiar way with that powerful lever, commercial interest. Men would be civilized much more quickly by the business of buying and selling, than by Paul's Epistles to the Corinthians.

This might also serve as an index or guide; and the conformity of such a course with the laws of nature would be proved by repeated experience, wherever the same process were to be gone through. To try to make men Christians who are in so low a state of civilization as the almost merely animal inhabitants of parts of Africa, appears to me nearly as unreasonable as to send teachers of the European languages to the apes. To this stage of human culture two things are applicable, self-interest, and force beneficently employed: and in this point of view, even conversions by the sword are not so injudicious and absurd as those by Bible Societies; always provided, that they are accomplished without unnecessary cruelty, and undertaken from truly benevolent motives.{*}

{*} It cannot be denied that the most efficient attempts at
conversion, and those which left the most permanent consequences,
were those of Charlemagne, and of the Spaniards in South America.
It was only a pity that the Spaniards forced their own idolatry
upon men who were, in fact, better Christians than themselves.

(It is assumed, be it observed, that we have a vocation and a right to endeavour to raise people to our state of civilization without any will of theirs; but this we shall not discuss here.)

The other method, namely, to work upon savages by their own present and obvious interest, can be accomplished only by trade, and appears to be the most just and mild of all; but it must also be accompanied by a certain degree of compulsion and constraint, to produce any rapid and permanent results. The worst effect of the attempts to hasten on the universality of Christianity is doubtless this; that as soon as the savage comes in collision with Christians, they must perceive that the latter,--whether governments, corporations, or individuals--while they preach benevolence, do in fact, in almost every case, act hostilely both to each other and to them. Their simple understandings, which are not rectified by higher culture, can in no way reconcile this contradiction. And as they, like children, take in little of a new faith but the mythos, it is not much to be wondered at if the liberals or free-thinkers among them exclaim, "Fable for fable, murder for murder, slave-dealing for slave-dealing, where is the difference?" Had the Christian powers _really_ abolished the slave-trade, and destroyed the nest of robbers which, to the shame of Europe, still exist on the coast of Africa; had England, instead of sending one solitary traveller after another (men who made themselves ridiculous and contemptible by displaying their Anglo-Christian arrogance without the means of supporting it,) to be assassinated by the natives, or to die of the climate,--sent into the interior an expedition fitted to command respect, and seasoned by previous residence on the coast;--had this expedition been so constituted as, by its dignity and by beneficent compulsion, to give a more humane character to trade; and had it sought to remove all obstacles to this object, even were it sometimes by force of arms;--it is indubitable that a great part of Africa would at this moment be infinitely more civilized than it will be by centuries of missions and Bible importations. Some may ask, 'A quoi bon tout cela?' others, what right have we to meddle in other people's affairs? The answer to these questions would lead us too far. For my own part, I confess I so far agree with the Jesuits, that I acknowledge that a noble end,--that is, a project calculated for the greatest possible advantage of others, and united with the power of carrying it into effect,--sanctifies all appropriate means which are, in the same sense, noble, so far at least as open force is concerned; for deceit, treachery, and dishonesty can never lead to good.--EDIT.

[115] In German all substantives begin with a capital letter.--TRANSL.

[116] A fictitious name, which might be Englished, Mr. Cant.--TRANSL.

[117] It is a great mistake to think that this is a subject only for ridicule or for rational indignation. The alliance of the so-called SAINTS, is not without danger to all men of large and liberal opinions. There is a fermentation of Jesuitical masses, who avail themselves of the form of Protestantism, because Catholicism will no longer answer their purpose. They are guided by the same principles to which the Jesuits owed their power, governed by the same 'esprit de corps,' constituted according to a like regular organization; instead of the 'aquetta,' indeed, they use, and with signal success, the ten times more formidable poison of calumny, which, like other instruments of darkness, is so easily employed by a secret association.--Germany has much more to dread from such _saints_, than from the dreams of freedom, promulgated by a set of enthusiastic young students on the Wartburg.--EDIT.

[118] _Wappenvögel_ (armorial-birds,) an expression which appears affected in English, though the passage is unintelligible without it.--TRANSL.

[119] A warning to all makers of puns and _jeu de mots_ to know their tools. Our author probably is still in blissful ignorance of the _i_ which spoils his joke.--TRANS.

[120] "To come out," as applied to young girls in England, means to go into the world. Parents sometimes let them wait for this happiness till they are twenty, or even older. Till then, they learn the world only from novels; in later life they consequently often act upon them, where the principles of domestic virtue (for there is such a thing now and then in England) have not been deeply and firmly laid.--EDITOR.

[121] Nothing can be more ridiculous than the declamation of German writers concerning the poverty which reigns in England; where, according to them, there are only a few enormously rich, and crowds of extremely indigent. It is precisely the extraordinary number of people of competent fortune, and the ease with which the poorest can earn, not only what is strictly necessary, but even some luxuries, if he chooses to work vigorously, which make England independent and happy. One must not indeed repeat after the Opposition newspapers.

[122] Probably presented by Macpherson himself.--EDITOR.

[123] The common people in England put the knife as well as the fork to their mouths. The higher classes, on the contrary, regard this as the true sin against the Holy Ghost, and cross themselves internally when they see a foreign Ambassador now and then eat so;--it is an affront to the whole nation.

[124] In a more loose and general sense, every man of respectable appearance is called a gentleman.

[125] This has nothing to do with morality, only with '_scandale_.'

[126] So the Irish delight to call him, proud of his '_landsmannschaft_ (countrymanship).

[127] This is no exaggeration. I have heard such things here, proved by legal evidence, and seen such misery as never were witnessed in the times of villanage in Germany, and are hardly to be paralleled in countries where slavery now prevails.--EDITOR.

[128] I have often had occasion to remark, that the love of music in England is a mere affair of fashion. There is no nation in Europe which plays music better or understands it worse.

[129] "_Böhmische Dörfer._" The _jeu de mots_ is inevitably lost.--TRANSL.

[130] An excellent dish! the receipt, _vivâ voce_.

[131] Eligible to certain chapters and ecclesiastical orders, to which none could be admitted who could not prove their seventy-two quarterings.--TRANSL.

[132] The maître d'hotel who lately published Memoirs of Napoleon, vindicates the Emperor from this reproach with indignation. His memoirs are certainly most flattering to that great man, for they prove 'qu'il est resté héros même pour son valet de chambre.'--EDIT.

[133] _Poetry and Truth_,--the title of Göthe's auto-biographical work.

[134] "I purpose to take a long sleep."

[135] All the Catholic children in Ireland are carefully instructed, and can at least read; while the Protestant are often utterly ignorant. The morals of the Catholic priesthood in Ireland are every where exemplary, as were those of the Reformers in France. The oppressed Church is every where the most virtuous; the causes of which are easily found.--EDITOR.

[136] The wish of my departed friend is already in part fulfilled, and the future is big with yet greater changes.--EDITOR.

[137] The translation of the title of the book is of a piece with all the rest. _Leiden_ does not mean _sorrows_, but _sufferings_.--TRANS.

[138] 'Sportsman'--'sport'--are as untranslatable as 'Gentleman.' It is by no means a mere hunter or shooter; but a man who follows all amusements of that and the cognate kinds, with ardour and address. Boxing, horse-racing, duck-shooting, fox-hunting, cock-fighting, are all 'sport.'--EDITOR.

[139] Nothing important or solemn can go on in England without a dinner; be it religious, political, literary, or of what kind it may.--ED.

[140] These disabilities have, as is universally known, been since removed.--EDITOR.

[141] A piece of the true cross was kept here, and gave its name to the monastery. Every separate building, was, for this reason, ornamented with a lofty cross of stone, of which only one is preserved.--EDITOR.

[142] A Moor, who was a very enlightened man for his country, and resided a long time in England, said to Captain L----, "I should not like to serve so powerless a monarch as the King of England. How different a feeling it gives one to be the servant of a sovereign who is the image of God's omnipotence on earth, at whose nod a thousand heads must fly like chaff before the wind!"--'Il ne faut donc pas disputer des goûts.'

[143] 'Your Grace' is the title of Protestant archbishops in England, and is given by all well-bred people, by courtesy, also to the Catholic archbishops, although the English law does not recognise their rank.

[144] These, as my departed friend often declared, were remarkably well prepared in Ireland. They consist of poultry boiled dry, with Cayenne pepper, or served with a most burning and pungent sauce.--EDITOR, (addressed to gourmands.)

[145]

The sky is changed!--and such a change! Oh night,
And storm, and darkness, ye are wondrous strong,
Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light
Of a dark eye in woman! Far along,
From peak to peak, the rattling crags among
Leaps the live thunder! Not from one lone cloud,
But every mountain now hath found a tongue,
And Jura answers, through her misty shroud,
Back to the joyous Alps, who call to her aloud!

And this is in the night:--Most glorious night!
Thou wert not sent for slumber! let me be
A sharer in thy fierce and far delight,--
A portion of the tempest and of thee!
How the lit lake shines, a phosphoric sea,
And the big rain comes dancing to the earth!
And now again 'tis black,--and now, the glee
Of the loud hills shakes with its mountain-mirth,
As if they did rejoice o'er a young earthquake's birth.

[146] Much has lately been done towards improving, I might say humanizing, the music in the churches in Prussia; and the influence of this improvement on the congregations have been universally found to be very beneficial.--EDITOR.

[147] Nothing can be a more astonishing proof of the difficulty of comparing the moral and intellectual character of two countries than this remark. Every Englishman accustomed to the cultivated society of his own country, must be struck by the extraordinary inferiority of German female education, in proportion to the high superiority of that of men. The solution is probably this:--The Author was chiefly confined to fashionable society here, and mixed little with the more instructed classes. In Germany, it is precisely the women of the middling classes who are so lamentably deficient in education,--a defect, of course, there as every where attributable to those who govern their destiny, and who profess sentiments even more unworthy than those here attributed to Englishmen. The motive ascribed to the latter is surely more strong and more noble than the desire of possessing a thorough cook or a contented drudge.--TRANS.

[148] We ought perhaps to apologize for suffering this and other similar passages to be printed. But whoever has read thus far, must interest himself in some degree for or against the Author: and in either case these unrestrained judgments upon himself cannot be wholly unwelcome to the reader who likes what is characteristic. Those who like only facts, may easily pass them over.--EDITOR.

[149] This is seldom to be met with in fashionable society, from the tyrannical demands of English education, which have a very wide influence in the three kingdoms. You observe, therefore, that I often confound English and Irish under one common name; I ought more properly to call them British.

[150] Even religion and morality do not reach all the intricate circumstances and cases which occur in human society:--witness that conventional honour which is frequently at war with both, and whose laws are yet obeyed by the best and wisest of men.

[151] Nach ihrer Decke strecken.

[152] The German name for the system of gymnastics introduced by the celebrated Dr. Jahn, and mixed up, by the young men who cultivated them, with the political opinions designated by the governments as '_Demagogic_.'--TRANS.

[153] The Prussian Landwehr system also forms perfect soldiers, horse or foot, in two years.--EDITOR.

[154] It is perhaps hardly worth remarking, that at the time in which eternal hell-fire was the most sincerely and generally believed in, morality was at the very lowest ebb, and the number of great crimes a thousandfold what it now is.--EDITOR.

[155] Our _Eilkutschen_ will never approach the English stage-coaches till the post is entirely free, and till there is an equal competition of travellers: neither is to be expected.--EDITOR.

[156] Few persons will agree with this position of the Author. If it be true, how doubly discreditable to English translators is the comparison of their performances with such translations as Voss's Homer, Schleiermacher's Plato, Schlegel's Shakspeare and Calderon, &c. For any approach to these wonderful transfusions, where are we to look? At the abortive attempts at presenting to England any idea of Göthe?--TRANS.

[157] 'Popish mummery' is the name given by English Protestants to the Catholic worship;--their own fully answers to the same description.--EDITOR.

[158] The decorated well-replenished table well set out in every family on Christmas eve.--TRANS.

[159] The description in detail is omitted, as familiar to the English reader.--TRANS.

[160] The letters alluded to belong to the first part, which see.--EDITOR.--(See Preface.)

[161] _Ländlich, sittlich,_--a German proverb, to which I do not recollect any corresponding English one.--TRANSL.

[162] Thus should we ever regard, represent, and treat death. It is only a perverted view of Christianity (perhaps the Jewish groundwork of it), which has made death so gloomy, and with a coarse animal feeling, as unpoetical as it is disgusting, chosen skeletons and marks of decomposition as its emblems.--EDITOR.

[163] As Napoleon said of his own head: "Carrée, autant de base que de hauteur."--EDITOR.

[164] A countryman of August Wilhelm Schlegel ought to take shame to himself for the omission of the illustrious name of Flaxman, whose genius was cast in a mould far more purely, severely and elegantly _Greek_, than that of any modern sculptor whatever.--TRANS.
