Excerpt from Letters to a Lady
Karl waelm, Baron von humboldt, elder brother of the eminent naturalist, friedrich heinrich alexan der von humboldtywas born in Potsdam, June 22, 1767, and died at Tegel, April 8, 1835. From early youth his education was carefully conducted by such teachers as the celebrated campe, the philosophers engel, kunth, FI scher, and von dohm; while at the universities of Frank fort and Gottingen he was either the pupil or intimate friend of heyne the philologist, jacobi, johannes von miiller, and other eminent men of ability. He had in deed, from boyhood, an intense desire to profit by intellec tual intercourse. My passion was, said he, to be near celebrated men, to study them with care, to realize accurately their manner of living and thinking. I asso ciated each with general ideas; I classed men and minds, and made of them, so to speak, a special science.
