Needless to say, this was only a pension in disguise. Catherine wrote to Madame du Deffand: I should never have expected that the purchase of a library would bring me so many fine compliments; all the world is bepraising me about M. Diderot's library. But now confess, you to whom humanity is in- debted for the strong support that you have given to innocence and virtue in the person of Galas, that it would have been cruel and unjust to separate a student from his books!
Lessing may be taken to t
...ypify one class of old-fashioned librarians, the men of letters who regarded an appointment to a library position as a sinecure. Installed as librarian of the ducal library at Wolfenbiittel, Lessing took advan- tage of the privilege of the librarian of his day by substitut- ing the writing of books for the less attractive duty of classifying and cataloguing them. His successor in office, Langer, was very bitter in his criticism of Lessing's ad- ministration, claiming that he had left much of his work undone.
