I present to you hereby a very worthy candidate in Herr Carl 
Heinrich Marx from Trier. He has sent in 1) A written request. (sub. 
lit. a.) 2) Two university certificates on his academic studies in 
Bonn and Berlin. (lit. b. and c.) The disciplinary offences therein 
noted can be disregarded by us. 3) A written request in Latin, 
curriculum vitae, and specimen: On the Difference Between the 
Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature, together with a 
certificate on authorship written in Latin. (lit. d.) 4) 12 Friedr. 
d’or, the excess of which will be returned to the candidate. The 
specimen testifies to intelligence and perspicacity as much as to 
erudition, for which reason I regard the candidate as pre- 
eminently worthy. Since, according to his German letter, he 
desires to receive only the degree of Doctor, it is clear that it is 
merely an error due to lack of acquaintance with the statutes of 
the faculty that in the Latin letter he speaks of the degree of 
Magister. He probably thought that the two belong together. I am 
convinced that only a clarification of this point is needed in order 
to satisfy him. 


Requesting your wise decision, 
Most respectfully, 


Dr. Carl Friedrich Bachmann
