1834:
My dear Sir,
Will you kindly excuse the liberty I take in introducing to you my friend Dr Brabant, a very intelligent and well informed Physician, who on giving up a successful practice is about to pass a few months in Germany with a view of improving his acquaintance with the learning and learned men of your learned country. As he proposed to visit Bonn on his way to Berlin, I have given him the greatest satisfaction in proffering to him a note of introduction [2] to you: and he will feel himself much flattered if you will have the kindness to introduce him to some of your friends at Bonn. I have had great pleasure in being deputed to read your memoir on the Hindoos to the Royal Society of Litterature, and the Society is much indebted to you for such a testimony of Your regard. It will be printed in the Volume of their Transactions, which is now in the press. When may we hope [3] to see you again in this city. We have received a fearful Secousse since you visited us. The Reform of Parliament has spread over us an universal mal-aise, which Every succeeding year will I fear make more incurable.
I have the honor to be
Dear Sir,
with great respect your very obedient humble Servant
WRHamilton
To
Professor AW. Schlegel
Bonn.
