MR. EGESTORFF, translator of Klopstock's "Messiah," &c., respectfully
announces that he is prepared to deliver the following Course of
Lectures, publicly or privatim:--
1. A Lecture on the Gradual and Ruinous Progress of Inordinate
Ambition, till its hapless votary becomes involved in a manner
that leaves him no alternative but to plunge into
crime,--exemplified in Schiller's "Wallenstein," with Introductory
Remarks on Literary Institutions, how to be improved, and Remarks
on National Intercourse.
2. A Lecture on the Dangerous Tendency of Enthusiasm if not
controuled by Reason, exemplified in Schiller's "Maid of Orleans."
