Autograph letter signed : London, to Dr. Gustav Schlesier, 1839 June 8.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270953247

Thanking him for sending his book about Friedrich von Gentz, Schriften von F. von Gentz Ein Denkmal, praising the book, and saying, "Germany has many men, unknown, and yet deserving to be known. Germany is not a self-proclaiming Nation; she is a silent Nation, great Germany, for which I love her too: but the noteworthy ought to be noted. Books of Memoirs, I observe also, are the most universal and unquestionable of Books. Let our Life-theory alter as it may; the life of a living man is at all times interesting to all men." In a postscript, he asks if Schlesier knows Mr. Dorguth, "A Lawyer ... who occupies himself with Philosophy," and if so, to tell him that his books "have been forwarded with recommendation to Sir William Hamilton of Edinburgh, the only man of this country who works now with any decisiveness in that province."
