HEINRICH, CARL FREIDRICH, a distinguished German scholar, was born on tho 8th of February 1774, at Mosehleben, in the duchy of Saxe-Gotha, where his father was pastor. lie received his first edu cation at the Kiesterschule of Derided, and afterwards at the Gymna sium of Gotha, where ho enjoyed the iustruction of DOring, Manse, Jacobs, and other eminent scholars. liciurich had read the priucipal Greek writers even before he entered the gymnasium, and his iutimato acquaintance with them caused him to be looked upon as a wonderful boy. In 1791 he went to Gottingen, where ho became the favourite pupil of Hoyne, who made him the tutor of his son. In 1795 Heinrich was appointed teacher at the Gymnasium of Breslau, and in 1801 he obtained the title of professor. Iiiittiger, the eminent arehreologist, persuaded him to take an interest In the theatre at Breslau, and Hein rich not only exerted himself to raise Its character, but wrote several dramas for it, and In the end became one of the managers of the theatre. In 1804 Ileyno procured him the professorship of eloquence and of Greek in the University of Klei Philological studies had been greatly neglected there, and Heinrich at first lectured to empty benches, but he soon attracted a great concourse of students. In 1319 he was invited to a profeasorahip in the newly-established University of Bonn. He accepted the offer, and henceforth continued to lecture there until his death on the 20th of February 1833.
Heinrich was a very excellout Latin scholar, though his lectures on Latin authors are very unequal The best were those on the Satires of Horace, Juvenal, and Persius, for he himself had great satirical talent; his explanations always excited a most lively intereat, being seasoned with his own wit and sarcastic allusions. The philological
seminary of Bonn was much indebted to his exertions; but his per sonal character was anything but amiable—he was whimsical, incon stant, and not unfrcquently malicious. He published few works, but all of them have great merit ; the following is a list of them : 1. Epimenides aus Creta, eine kritischliatoriache Znsammenatellung aua Bruchatticken; nebat Zwei kleinern antiquarischen Versuchen, Leipzig, 1801, 8vo; an excellent critical essay on the life of Epiine nidea and the works attributed to him. 2. Lycurgi Oratio in Leocra tens,' Bonn, 1821, 8vo. 3. An edition of Cicero'a treatise `De Re Publics,' Bonn, 1323, Svo, with an extensive critical commentary. He further wrote critical essays in several periodical works, and was one of the editors of Koppen's German Commentary on Homer,' in 6 vols., Hanover, 1794-1323. In the year after Heinrich's death his edition of Juvenal, for which all preparations were made before, was published by his son, in 2 vols. 8vo, Bonn, 1839, which is the best edition of Jnvenal that we have. (See Long, in the Classical ' vol. L p. 369, &c.) An edition Persius, for which Heinrich had likewise left the manuscript ready, was published by Otto Jahn.
