'On the whole, our study and love of German Literature seems to be rapidly progressive: in my time, that is, within the last six years, I should almost say that the readers of your language have increased tenfold; and with the readers, the admirers; for with all minds of any endowment these two titles, in the present state of matters, are synonymous. In proof of this, moreover, we can now refer not to one but to two Foreign Journals, published in London, and eagerly if not always wisely looking towards Germany: The Foreign Quarterly Review, and the Foreign Review, with the last of which I too have formed some connexion.'
