Author Description

Excerpt from The Literary Life of Gustavus Seyffarth: An Auto-Biogaphical Sketch In the year 1815 the author left Meissen with attering testimonials and went to Leipzig to study theology, being desirous, however, of learning all that might be worth knowing. He did not content himself with attending theological, philosophical and philological lectures, but also busied himself with the study of mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, botany, history, mineralogy, mechanics, drawing, music, and especially Oriental languages.
