GOLTZ, BOGUMIL, 1801-70; a polish humorist and satirist: In 1847 he gave to the world the first fruits of his studies and reflections in the charming poetic Duch der Kindheit, in which he delineates the incidents and impressions of his own childhood with a tender feeling akin to that of Jean Paul. The dates which he gives in this nar rative are inconsistent with those which he furnished for the memoir in Brockhans's Conversations-Larikon, and a chronological difficulty is thus created which perhaps it may not be possible to solVe. The Buch der Kindheit was followed by a satirical and polemical epistle against Rouge and the friends of enlightenment, which be entitled Deutsche Entartung in der liela.freandliehen und modernen Lebensart. For the purpose of enlarging his experience of men, and amassing stores of material for his art as hunforist and reformer of human life and society, he undertook a course of extensive travels, Germany, France, England, Italy, and Egypt. In 1850 he published Das
Hensettendaseyn in seinen weltewigen Zit gen send Zeichen. This was followed by another poetically conceived work on his own early life, entitled Ein Jugendleben; Diographis ehes Idyll aus Westpreussen, and by Ein Ifleinstd eller in .zEgypten. In his next work, Der Mensch und die Leute, he especially displays his peculiar powers in profound and acute sketches of various races of men. His Die Deutsehen, consisting of a series of studies on the history and peculiarities of the genius of the Germans, appeared in 1866. His other works are Zur Charakteristik und Naturgeschichte der Frauen, Typen der Gesellschaft, Die Bi&lung und die Gebildeten, Vorlesungen, and Die Tirela:lug/all und die Le,bensweisheit nit ihren correspondirenden Studien.
