Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HILLEBRAND, KARL (18291884) , German author, was born at Giessen on the 17th of September 1829, his father Joseph Hillebrand (17881871) being a literary historian and writer on philosophic subjects. Karl Hillebrand became involved, as a student in
Heidelberg
 , in the Baden revolutionary move-ment, and was imprisoned in
Rastatt
 . He succeeded in escaping and lived for a time in Strassburg, Pariswhere for several months he was Heine's secretaryand
Bordeaux
 . He continued his studies, and after obtaining the
doctor
 's degree at the Sorbonne, he was appointed teacher of German in the Et-ale mililaire at St Cyr, and shortly afterwards, professor of foreign literatures at Douai. On the outbreak of the Franco-German War he resigned his professorship and acted for a time as correspondent to The Times in Italy. He then settled in Florence, where he died on the 19th of October 1884. Hillebrand wrote with facility and elegance in French,
English
  and Italian, besides his own language. His essays, collected under the
title
  Zeiten, Volker and Menschen (Berlin, 18741885), show clear discernment, a finely balanced
cosmopolitan
  judgment and grace of style. He undertook to write the Geschichte Frankreichs von der Thronbesteigung Ludwig Philipps bis zum Fall Napoleons Ill., but only two volumes were completed (to 1848) (2nd ed., 18811882). In French he published Des conditions de la bonne comedie (1863), La Prusse contemporaine (1867), Etudes italiennes (1868), and a
translation
  of O.
Muller
 's Griechi schie Literaturgeschichte (3rd ed., 1883). In
English
  he published his Royal Institution Lectures on German Thought during the Last Two Hundred Years (188o). He also edited a collection of essays dealing with Italy, under the
title
  Italia (4 vols.,
Leipzig
 , 18741877).
