THUMMEL, MORITZ AUGUST VON (1738-1817) ,
German
  humorist and satirical author, was born on the 27th of May 1738 at Schonefeld near
Leipzig
 . Educated at Rossleben and the university of
Leipzig
 , where he studied law, he held from 1761 till 1783 various offices in the ducal
court
  of Saxe-
Coburg
 , where he became privy councillor and minister of state. He retired in 1783 and died at
Coburg
  on the 26th of October 1817. He wrote a comic
prose
  epic, Wilhelmine, Oder der vermahlte Pedant (1764); and Die Inoculation der Liebe (1771), a tale in verse. His most famous
work
  is his Reise in die mitldglichen Provinzen von Frankreich im Jahre 1785-.1786 (1791-1805), a " sentimental journey " in ten volumes, in which the
influence
  of Wieland is unmistakable. Schiller, who found this
work
  wanting in aesthetic dignity, yet allowed that the keen knowledge of men and things it displays makes it a valuable contribution to literature. Thiimmel's other writings are unimportant.
His collected works were published at Leipzig in six volumes (1812), and again in 182o (7 vols.), with a
biography
  by J. E. von Gruner. The most
recent
  edition is that of 1855 (8 vols.). See also F. Bobertag, Erzahlende Prosa der klassischen Periode vol. i. (Kurschner's Deutsche Nat ionalliteratur, vol. exxxvi., 1886). Wilhelmine has also been edited by R. Rosenbaum (1894).
