Abstract

Since I am myself to write about myself, I see that many difficulties loom up around me. Let it therefore not be said of this that we are neither a careful investigator of our subject nor his severe critic: Just that time, at which for the first time study inspired and intellectual character traits were impressed as a seal in wax, is so far distant, that we can scarcely perceive it, much less understand it. Thence come certain problems that arise from my present age.
