Excerpt from Johann Gottfried Herder: As an Educator

In preparing this volume it seemed best to give a brief sketch of Herder"s life, which was one of the most interesting and picturesque among the great writers. For biographical material I am indebted particularly to Rudolf Haym"s masterly work, "Herder nach seinem Leben und seinen Wirken," Berlin, 1877-1885; Eugen Kuhnemann"s artistic "Herder," Munchen, 1912; Richard Burkner"s brief but comprehensive little volume, "Herder, sein Leben und Wirken," Berlin, 1904; Henry Nevinson"s delightful volume, "A Sketch of Herder and His Times," and the fascinating "Errinerungen aus dem Leben Joh. Gottfried von Herders," Stuttgart & Tubingen, 1830. The latter is a collection of various documents brought together by Herder"s widow and supplemented by her own writings. This collection is edited by Johann Georg Muller. In writing this part of the volume, I have tried to present the human side of Herder"s life as well as to show his particular interest in and contribution to education.
