A man of incorruptible integrity, great learning, accu rate, reticent, and an utter contemner of the tuft-hunting and sycophancy of his time, Cotta saw with pain the press of his Fatherland sunk in abject vassalage, sloth, and scurrility; whispering with bated breath the per mitted chronicles and scandal of fifty courts, and abso lutely devoid of political intelligence not copied from the Monitcur, and he determined to rescue it from a servility so ignominious. In 1798 he, together with a kindr...ed spirit, established this journal, and in the first issue announced that it would ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG.
