Baron Grimm

Baron Grimm (1723-1807) was a German littérateur and critic, born at Ratisbon. He was a man of versatile powers and vast attainments. He settled in Paris and became acquainted with Rousseau and the leading Encyclopédists and Madame d'Epinay. On the breaking out of the Revolution he retired to the court of Gotha and afterwards to that of Catharine II of Russia, who made him her minister at Hamburg. His correspondence is full of interest, and abounds in piquant literary criticism.
