Footnote 102:
_I.e._ of the order of the Prussian Eagle. The sentence reads thus:
“Da gestern Illaire bei mir war, so habe ich alles vorbereitet, Herrn
—— dem vielgeachteten Geistlichen in ... nuetzlich fuer eines der
Spielwerke zu werden, welche zwar nicht naehren, aber eine augenehme
Zerstreuung, _auch des spaet ausgefuehrten Reitens mit Hindernissen_,
Aussicht zur Errettung aus der Unterwelt dervier ten Klasse
gewaehren.” As it stands, the clause printed by us in italics makes
nonsense.—_Translator._
Footnote 103:
“Close your lips and set your teeth.” In the “_Anglaises pours rire_”
there is a squib which says, “_Ouvrez la bouche et serrez les dents et
vous parlerez anglais!_” Open your mouth and set your teeth, and you
will speak English. Humboldt may have had this in his mind and have
converted _ouvrez_ into _fermez_ by mistake.
Froebel says in page 35: “After all, the German and the English are
but two different dialects, or rather stages of development. The
English occupies the higher grade, for it is acknowledged that the
attrition of grammatical form corresponds to a higher mental
development.” Opposite this passage Humboldt writes “_Ah!_”
On p. 88, Froebel alludes to the great mission of Austria in the
future. Similar passages were to be found in a pamphlet of his, which
appeared in 1848; they were pointed out to Prince Windischgraetz by an
aide-de-camp, just in time to procure his pardon, while his colleague,
Robert Blum, was brutally shot.
Footnote 104:
Not quite exact, in so far as M. Westphalen, the minister, carried
this point in the absence of the parties named, and, as afterwards
appeared, without their knowledge.
