VIII, 178: Herder says that no one says it better than Leibniz, that bodies as such are only phenomena of substances, as the Milky Way is of stars and the clouds of drops.

IX, 534: Herder cites Leibniz as saying that human wit and humor are never more effective than in play, and uses this in support of his own belief that the human heart expresses itself most effectively in the nature songs of primitive people. X, 305: Herder sees the flower of Leibniz in Shaftesbury. XIII, 199: Herder agrees with Leibniz that the soul is a mirror of the “world-all” and he believes there is a deeper truth in Leibniz’ statement than is usually recognized; i.e., all the forces of a “world-all” lie hidden in the soul, and they need only an organization or a succession of organizations to set them into activity. XIV, 417: Herder finds support in Leibniz for the statement that the Catholic Church considered the king a protective magistrate under the supremacy of the Pope. XV, 180: Herder says Leibniz pointed out weak sides of Locke’s philosophy. XVI, 450: Herder makes the following statements: 1. In Leibniz’ mind were associated fruitful conceptions of all sciences and of all the realms of nature. 2. Leibniz said that one must finally, so far as conceptions of bodies are concerned, come to simple substances, which he calls “Monads.” 3. I (Herder) am convinced that among the three ingenious hypotheses with which he has enriched metaphysics the monad is the most fundamental, and will sometime win a place. 4. Without this indivisible working element, the nature of physical bodies cannot be explained. XVI, 458: Herder calls Leibniz a “Proteus of Science,” who has done much to unify philosophical truths. XVI, 606: Herder calls Leibniz, “our immortal Leibniz.” XVII, 331 ff.: Herder eulogizes Leibniz, emphasizing his theories of play, his mildness and sympathy in criticizing others his youthful, impartial soul. XVIII, 126: Herder says that Leibniz was the most modest among all the reformers of philosophical thought; he thought that all systems of the ancients could be united because each held something good.
