358. KARL GUTZKOW. _Journalist and Dramatist._

[Born at Berlin, 1811. Still living.] A German author, who, after the breaking out of the Revolution of 1830, exerted himself to advance the interests of his countrymen by publishing one work against Revelation, for which he received three months’ imprisonment, and another against Marriage, which was scarcely issued before he himself entered the marriage state. The dramas of Gutzkow have fared better than his polemical writings, some of his plays being very popular. He is a prolific author, and has cleverness and wit, which he brings to the illustration of every topic of the day; but his vanity and conceit surpass his abilities, and perpetually mislead him. [By Ernst Rietschel. Plaster. 1850. In the possession of the sculptor.] SOLDIERS AND STATESMEN.
