Excerpt from Essay on National PrideHe was early destined to the medical line and studied physic at the University of Gottingen, where he was a disciple and friend of the celebrated Haller. He first resided and practised physic at the place of his nativity, and afterwards at Berne.We are not furnished with any particulars relative to him from this time till his removal to Hanover, except such as may relate to his writings. The lives of literary men indeed seldom abound with prominent features sufficient to arrest the attention, on which account, their biography is not unfrequently confined to the number and review of their works. Alike conscious of our deficiency, we must also attempt to supply it, as well as we are able, by giving a general information respecting our author's writings, of which the following is a correct list, in the order in which they appear to have been published:1. Dissertatio inauguralis de Irritabilitate. 4to, Gottingen, 1751.2.The Life of Professor Haller. 8vo. Zurich, 1755.3.Thoughts on the Earthquake which was felt on the 9th of December 1755, in Switzerland, 4to. 1756.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
