increased admiration for this celebrated man. The case contained two bronze medals, the one executed by Brandt of Berlin, the other by Bovy, and both re. present the bust of the poet in bold relief, particularly the latter, which is de. cidedly of superior execution. The former, which bears on one side the portraits of the late Grand-duke and his consort, with the inscription “Carl August and Luise Goeth en Zum VII Novem. 1825.” was struck by order of that prince, to cominemorate the fiftieth year of Goethe's residence at his court, and was presented to the poet, a Counsellor and Minister of state, on the day mentioned in the inscription, accompanied by a letter addressed to him by the Grand-duke, which is flattering to the distinguished individual to whom it is indited, and honourable to the feelings of the writer, the excellent prince whose recent loss Weimar deplores.”
