[Born at Breslau, in Prussia, 1768. Died at Berlin, 1834. Aged 66.]
His parents were of the Moravian brotherhood, which he quitted at the
age of 18, and began to study philology and divinity at the University
of Halle. In 1802, he taught the same subjects in the same University of
Halle. In 1833, he visited England, and opened the German chapel of the
Savoy. The author of several works distinguished for profound thought,
conveyed perspicuously to those he is addressing. He was an excellent
theologian, a distinguished philologist, a profound critic, and an
admirable translator. His translation of Plato, unfortunately not
completed, is the best extant. He had a pure and pious mind.
