Book Description

Excerpt from Minna Von Barnhelm, or Soldier's Fortune Yet the peculiar significance of Lessing in that new era of affluence will be more suitably in dicated through another symbol. His prime function may be likened to the work of the mint: Lessing is the receiver of the golden treasures transmitted by the past and he it 18 that passes them on to all future, but not until he has made them truly his own, liquefied and hardened them again by unique processes of the intellect, and put on the new product the unmistakable stamp which confers worth and credit in the modern world.
