Mennell im vorlesten Kriege zum zweytenmale der Belage= rung von Pondichery beywohnte., Ums Jahr 1778 als er noch in Indien war, heurathete er die Miß Thackeray, Tochter des vieljährigen Oberlehrers der berühmten Schule in Harrow bey London. Er hat zwey hoffnungsvolle Söhne, die in Cambridge studiren und eine sehr liebenswürdige Tochter. Wenig Leute lieben ihre Heimath so sehr als Mennell; er ist immer im Busen seiner Familie und bey seinen Büchern. Früh findet man thn oft bey seinem Freunde Sir Joseph Banks. In Gesellschaft ist er ein äusserst aufgeräumter Mann, und seine Unterhaltung ist eben so lehrreich als angenehm. Aber sobald man auf ihn selbst kommt, wird er einfilbig. Ueberhaupt ist er die Bescheidenheit selbst. Ju seinen Manieren und seiner Kleidung herrscht die gröste Einfachheit. Von seinen ausgebreiteten Kenntnissen in der Geographie und den verwandten Wissenschaften spricht ganz Europa. Rennell trägt an seinem Körper viele ehrenvolle Narben aus seiner Jugend her. Es ist bekannt, daß er sich jezt mit dem geographischen System des Herodotus beschäfs tiget, worüber schon Ein Band erschienen ist.

In den Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy Vol. VIII. ist ein sehr heftiger Angriff in einer Abhandlung auf die neuere deutsche Literatur gemacht worden, welche folgenden Ti-" tel hat: Reflections on the peculiarities of style and manner in the late German writers whose works have appared in English and on the tendency of their productions by W. Preston Esq M. R. I. A. Der Verf. las diesen Auffaz schon 1800. vor, da Barrúels Verläumdungen noch durch keinen Mounier widerlegt waren. Herr Preston gesteht, daß er kein deutsch verstehe: er schließt daher aus etlichen Ueberseßungen auf unsre ganze neue Literatur und spricht von den „,Gothis schen Producten der deutschen Schule," welche sich eben so zu der Literatur der Franzosen ic. verhielten, wie die Gothische Bauart zur Italiänischen; er warnt vor dem Gifte, der deutschen Schauspiele und Romane. Die deutsche Tragodie und Romanze unterscheidet sich, ihm zufolge, by a som-. bre gloom, a love of terror, an affectation of the horrible.

Als Beleg dazu führt er Bürgers Lenore und Schillers Schaus spiele an. Ein gewisser Gaethé (sic) kommt schlimm weg. Von den Räubern sagt er: what is it but the beggars opera tragedized and amplified with a little sprinkling of imitation from Fielding and Shakspeare? Er ärgert sich darüber, daß die Engländer an diesem Stücke so viel Gefallen finden. Kozebue wird am wenigsten geschont; er kann es ihm nicht vergeben, daß zwey bis drey von seinen Stücken bey immer vollen Häusern wiederholt werden. Summa, unsre Schrift: steller übertreiben alles, überfchreiten alle Regeln u. s. w. Das wird einen erschrecklichen Eindruck in England machen!
