BORNE, KARL LUDWIG (17861837) , German political writer and satirist, was born on the 6th of May 1786 at Frankforton-Main, where his father, Jakob Baruch, carried on the business of a banker.

paper distinguished by its lively political articles and its powerful but sarcastic theatrical criticisms. This paper was suppressed by the police authorities, and in 1821 Borne quitted for a while the field of publicist writing and led a retired life in Paris, Ham-burg and Frankfort. After the July Revolution (183o), he hurried to Paris, expecting to find the newly-constituted state of society somewhat in accordance with his own ideas of freedom. Although to some extent disappointed in his hopes, he was not disposed to look any more kindly on the political condition of Germany; this lent additional zest to the brilliant satirical letters (Briefe aus Paris, 1830-1833, published Paris, 1834), which he began to publish in his last literary venture, La Balance, a revival under its French name of Die Wage. The Briefe aus Paris was Berne's most important publication, and a landmark in the history of German journalism. Its appearance led him to be regarded as one of the leaders of the new literary party of " Young Germany." He died at Paris on the 12th of February 1837.Berne's works are remarkable for brilliancy of style and for a thorough French vein of satire. His best criticism is to be found in his Denkrede auf Jean Paul (1826), a writer for whom he had warm sympathy and admiration, in his Dramaturgische Matter (18291834), and the witty satire, Menzel der Franzosenfresser (1837). He also wrote a number of short stories and sketches, of which the best known are the Monographie der deutschen Postschnecke (1829) and Der Esskilnstler (1822). The first edition of his Gesammelte Schriften appeared at Hamburg (18291834) in 14 volumes, followed by 6 volumes of Nachgelassene Schriften (Mannheim, 18441850) ; more complete is the edition in 12 volumes (Hamburg, 1862-1863), reprinted in 1868 and subseuently. The latest complete edition is that edited by A. Klaar (8 vols., Leipzig
K. Gutzkow, Bornes Leben (Hamburg, I84o), and M. Holzmann, L. Borne, sein Leben and sein Wirken (Berlin, 1888). Bornes Briefe an Henriette Herz (1802-1807), first published in 1861, have been re-edited by L. Geiger (Oldenburg, 1905), who has also published Berne's Berliner Briefe (1828) (Berlin, 1905).
