{[London, not later than July 12, 1858] 


How a German “man of the people” and “poet” succeeds in 
combining the Pleasant with the Useful. 

Four weeks ago Dr Kinkel inserted the following advertisement 
in The Manchester Guardian: 


“Tour through the English Lakes. Reading German Litterature. A Professor of 
German at one of the most distinguished educational establishments in this country 
will read to a Party composed of Ladies and Gentlemen: Schiller’s Gedichte, ‘Don 
Carlos’, Auerbach’s ‘Dorfgeschichten’ and Hauff’s ‘Bettlerin vom Pont des Arts’. 
This Party being a select one, care will be taken to keep it so, and to connect by 
these means sociable and pleasant intercourse with instructive and entertaining 
reading. The Party to start from Kendall, Monday, July 5th. Early applications will 

oblige, as none will be received after June 19th. Address to the Publisher of this 
paper for Dr. K.’”* 


For the edification of such of our German readers who have not 
completely mastered the English tongue, I append a translation of 
this concoction which is a curiosity if only by reason of its style.° 

...“This Party being a select one” (how republican and how grammatical!)... “by 
these means” (how?)... 


If desired, I can provide a cutting of the original advertisement.
