[61] Cf. _Heinrich Heines sAemtliche Werke_, edited by Walzel,
FrAenkel, KrAehe, Leitzmann, and Peterson. Leipzig. 1911, II,
408. So far as I have looked into the matter, Walzel stands alone
in this belief, though MUecke, as has been pointed out above,
anticipated him in the statement that Heine drew on Schreiber in
this case. But MUecke thinks that Heine also knew Loeben.
[62] The reference in question reads as follows: "Ich will kein Wort
verlieren Ueber den Wert dieses unverdaulichen Machwerkes [_Les
Burgraves_], das mit allen mOeglichen PrAetensionen auftritt,
namentlich mit historischen, obgleich alles Wissen Victor Hugos
Ueber Zeit und Ort, wo sein StUeck spielt, lediglich aus der
franzOesischen Uebersetzung von Schreibers _Handbuch fUer
Rheinreisende_ geschOepft, ist." This was written March 20, 1843
(see Elster edition, VI. 344).
[63] Aloys Wilhelm Schreiber (1763-1840) was a teacher in the Lyceum
at Baden-Baden (1800-1802), professor of aesthetics at Heidelberg
(1802-13) where he was intimate with the Voss family,
historiographer at Karlsruhe (1813-26), and in 1826 he retired and
became a most prolific writer.
