Let the reader also take a glance at them, as specimens worth notice:-- COMMISSARIUS FIRST: "Herr von Reck was a nobleman from the Hanover Country; of very great piety; who, after his Commission was done, settled at Halle; and lived there, without servant, in privacy, from the small means he had;--seeking his sole satisfaction in attendance on the Theological and Ascetic College-Lectures, where I used to see him constantly in my student time." COMMISSARIUS SECOND: "Herr Gobel was a medical man by profession; and had the regular degree of Doctor; but was in no necessity to apply his talents to the gaining of bread.

His zeal for religion had moved him to undertake this Commission.

Both these gentlemen I have often seen in my youth," but do not tell you what they were like farther; "and both their Christian names have escaped me." A third Commissarius was of Preussen, and had religious-literary tendencies.

I suppose these three served gratis;--volunteers; but no doubt under oath, and tied by strict enough Prussian law.

Physician, Chaplain, Road-guide, here they are, probably of supreme quality, ready to our hand.
