Coll: 12mo. viii 379; 4 339 pages. Following 30 years of gothic novels with logical not paranormal explanations at the end Matthew Lewis added the supernatural in his 1795 novel The Monk but it was Hoffmann in The Devil’s Elixirs “Die Elixiere des Teufels†Berlin 1815 who took supernatural horror out of the Gothic castle and on to the highway rearranging and expanding the potential plotlines and leaving a legacy vitally alive today for his descendants Bram Stoker H. P. Lovecraft and Stephen King. He elevates the sport to a new zenith as he analyzes the destructive psychological state the deeply divided nature of human imagination and the seductive ambiguities of art. The Capuchin monk Medardus is a charismatic criminal whose superficial holiness is a facade masking an inner wickedness. Driven by power fantasies Medardus drinks an arcane liquor 60 years before Stevenson’s Jekyll & and Hyde and becomes implicated in a mystery against his will. Traveling on the road to Rome and wrestling with the enigma of his own identity 65 years before Freud he is pursued by a demonic and murderous doppelganger multiple identity as a wraith of himself. The monk’s only potential salvation lies with the sex object Aurelie but to escape the curse which lies over him and his family he must evade sinister powers of the living and the dead. Does he do it Nope. William Blackwood & T. Cadell unknown

Abhandlungen der Königlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin. Aus dem Jahre 1836. Fruehe Arbeit zu Finanztheorie von Grundbesitz und Kapitalbesitz: "Nur von der umlaufenden Belegung des Kapitales gilt die Bemerkung dass den "Kapitalisten" kein festes Eigenthum an sein Vaterland fessle". Johann Gottfried Hoffmann 19. Juli 1765 in Breslau; 12. November 1847 in Berlin war ein deutscher Statistiker Staatswissenschaftler und Nationalökonom. Johann Gottfried Hoffmann studierte an den Universitäten Halle und Leipzig die Rechte wurde 1788 Hauslehrer in Memel und übernahm 1792 die Administration der Pinnauer Fabrik bei Wehlau gab diese Stellung aber 1798 wieder auf. 1803 als Bauassessor bei der ostpreußischen Kriegs- und Domänenkammer angestellt nahm er an den Vorarbeiten zur Gesetzgebung von 1808 teil und erhielt 1807 die ordentliche Professur der praktischen Philosophie und der Kameralwissenschaften an der Universität Königsberg. 1808 wurde er Staatsrat im Ministerium des Innern 1810 Direktor des von ihm eingerichteten Statistischen Bureaus und Professor der Universität Berlin. Bei allen Gesetzesvorschlägen für die innere Verwaltung in den Jahren 1811/12 war er beteiligt. Kurz nach seiner Ankunft in Berlin richtete Staatskanzler Carl Fürst von Hardenberg im Januar 1816 folgendes kurzes Schreiben an Innenminister Friedrich von Schuckmann: Der jetzige Geheime Legations Rath Hoffmann wird sich von nun an ausschließlich mit der Leitung des statistischen Bureaus und den ihm als vortragender Rath bei der dritten Section des Königl. Ministerii der auswärtigen Angelegenheiten obliegenden Arbeiten beschäftigten. Da derselbe dem gemäß auch die an ihn ergangene Aufforderung der hiesigen Universität an ihren Arbeiten Theil zu nehmen bereits ablehnend beantwortet hat so ersuche ich Ew. Excellenz hiermit ergebenst ihn nunmehr auch von der ihm früher übertragenen Professur gefälligst entbinden zu wollen. Aus dem Ministerium der Auswärtigen Angelegenheiten schied er 1821 aus um in sein akademisches Lehramt zurückzukehren. Hoffmann war Mitglied der "Gesetzlosen Gesellschaft zu Berlin" Die Gesetzlose Gesellschaft zu Berlin ist ein Gesellschaftsclub dessen Mitglieder prominente Persönlichkeiten der geistigen künstlerischen und militärischen Elite ihrer jeweiligen Zeit waren und der am 4. November 1809 in Berlin gegründet wurde. Die auch heute noch existierende Gesellschaft versteht sich als Trägerin der Tradition der Kultur und der Wissenschaft. 1832 wurde er als ordentliches Mitglied in die Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften aufgenommen. Seit 1843 war er korrespondierendes Mitglied der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Sankt Petersburg. Nachdem er 1838 wegen vorgerückten Alters seine Entlassung genommen hatte starb er am 12. November 1847. Wikipedia unknown

The Invention of the modern otoscope - nighteen years before Tröltsch GM 3374! Erste Ausgabe des Ohrenspiegels - 10 Jahre vor der Erfindung des Augen-Spiegels durch Helmholtz! Die Hals-Nasen-Ohrenheilkunde konnte sich erst so spät zu einem eigenen Fach entwickeln da die zu beobachtenden und zu behandelnden Organe in tiefen dunklen Körperhöhlen liegen; die dem bloßen menschlichen Auge nicht sichtbar sind. So bedurfte es erst der Erfindung eines perforierten Hohlspiegels durch Friedrich Hoffmann 1841 mit dessen Hilfe die Beleuchtung dieser Organe möglich wurde. Friedrich Hofmann 1806-1886 Arzt Geheimer Sanitätsrat in Burgsteinfurt beschreibt seinen perforierten Hohlspiegel der die Beleuchtungstechnik vor allem im HNO- und Augen-Bereich revolutioniert aber auch bei der Urethroskopie verwendet wird HAKEN GRÜNFELD. Die Erfindung war einfach er kratzte den spiegelnden Belag im Zentrum eines runden Toilettenspiegels ab und benutzte dieses Loch als Durchblick Die Bedeutung dieser Entdeckung wurde zuerst nicht erkannt und 1859 beschrieb v. Tröltsch den sogenannten Ohrenspiegel erneut. Seit dieser Zeit erfuhr er eine weite Verbreitung. -cf.
