 JOSEPH JUNGMANN was born on the 18th June, 1773, at Hudlice, an obscure village. He is professor of poetry and oratory in the Academical Gymnasium of Prague. His prose writings are highly esteemed, and his enthusiasm for his mother tongue has won him the special affection of his countrymen. It is to him that Kollar addresses his 66th sonnet:—

many a noble-minded man I know,

(As numerous here as in remoter lands),

Our pride, our praise, near whom old glory stands,

Binding past—future laurels round their brow—
