[87.] The “Empfindsame Reise der Prinzessin Ananas nach Gros-glogau” (Riez, 1798, pp. 68, by Gräfin Lichterau?) in its revolting loathesomeness and satirical meanness is an example of the vulgarity which could parade under the name. In 1801 we find “Prisen aus der hörneren Dose des gesunden Menschenverstandes,” a series of letters of advice from father to son. A play of Stephanie the younger, “Der Eigensinnige,” produced January 29, 1774, is said to have connection with Tristram Shandy; if so, it would seem to be the sole example of direct adaptation from Sterne to the German stage. “Neue Schauspiele.” Pressburg and Leipzig, 1771–75, Vol. X.
