Hurrah for citizen Götte, The man of the August gate; He’s half a Lafayette, The “Lafa” we abate. It was he that didn’t tremble, To the Duke he pushed his way, And without asking questions, Told him the truth that day. The continuation of this folk-song is unknown. “Yette” is supposed to be equivalent to “Götte,” and it was certainly intended by the ingenious poet that our “Laffe” (dandy) should be recognized in “Lafa.” [5] See appendix I. [6] Dissen died in 1837, after a long and severe illness, at the age of fifty-three. [7] When a pupil in the highest class, Richard had travelled on the Rhine with his father during the vacation, and visited Mainz at the same time. The charming description of this journey, which in print would fill quite a little volume, has been preserved in manuscript. [8] In a letter of Samuel Hirzel’s to Horner, the former gives most lively expression to his delight in the lectures of G. Hermann, and afterwards says: “Then he began inveighing against Buttmann without ceremony.” A. Springer, _The Young Hirzel_, _Leipzig_, 1883. It is well known what a harsh attack Hermann Boeckh could make in the presence of his class. [9] De Tabulis Eugubinis. Dissert. Berolini. 1833. (Index to Works. No. 1.) [10] Aeschyl.

[14] The names of both of these sovereigns were found upon a second bi-lingual tablet, discovered on the island of Philae. [15] They were bought by the Paris library for fifty thousand francs. [16] Lepsius used the Pentateuch, edited by Wilkins, for his first exercise book. [17] Published in the first edition, under the supervision of Jomard, 1809-28. The second edition was edited by Pankouke, 1821-29. [18] In Rosellini’s _I Monumenti dell’ Egitto e della Nubia_. Eight volumes, with the addition of two folio volumes of colored plates, published at Pisa in 1832-44. The third folio volume was published after his death, (1843) in 1844; Champollion’s _Monuments de l’Égypte et de la Nubie_, four folio volumes, with four hundred and forty plates, was published in Paris, 1835-47, and Lepsius thus had the use of the first numbers. Rosellini’s work on monuments, mentioned above, is divided into historical and private monuments, and those pertaining to religious worship. Champollion had originally wished to treat of the former, but, in consequence of his early death, the publication of them fell to Rosellini. Champollion also saw only the first proofs of his own work on monuments. [19] As an example he adduces the scheme:
