The German correspondent to whom Dr. Burney was most indebted for
information, entertainment, and liberal friendship, was Mynhere
Ebeling, a native of Hamborough, who volunteered his services to
the Doctor, by opening a correspondence in English, immediately upon
reading the first, or French and Italian tour, with a zeal full of
sprightliness and good-humour; solidly seconded by well understood
documents in aid of the Musical History.[64]
