"Thursday. I have begun Scherr's Geschichte Deutschen Cultur und Sitte. Worked at Spinoza. Walked in the Thier garten. Dined at Pietsch's, and then went into Kranzler's where G. was to wait for Magnus the Chemist, who had promised to take him to the Sitz of the Akademie. However he soon came back to me, having wisely given up the Sitz in favour of a party at Prof. Olfers', where he was to go with Magnus the painter. I read the Italianische Reise till it was time for him to dress. It is remarkable that when Goethe gets to Sicily, he is for the first time in Italy enthusiastic in his descriptions of natural beauty. G. went at 8 and I spent the evening alone for the first time since we have been at Berlin. I read G's Farce- Robson's adventure with a Russian Princess. Letter from Mr. Chapman - a chef d' ceuvre ofbad taste." Diary 1854-1861 37
