He was primarily a critic, but he supplemented his precepts by example, and accomplished as much by his character as by his intellect...
...universal brotherhood in which he so firmly believed. Each of his great dramatic works had its own moral to teach. The characters were well sustained, and true to nature. Inestimable, however, as was the value of Lessing's work to the development of German literature, it is for the man's character that we must most admire...
