I could not but speak, being the Nestor of Prussian mining officials, and prone to boast of my calling. My reliance upon yourindulgence, dear and worthy friend, is so great, that I am emboldened to send evenyoua copy of these unimportant lines. Count B. deserved this praise. Free from opinion of any kind, he is useful to the art of mining, and still occupies himself with scientific pursuits since he has resigned the direction.
With unshaken constancy, yours,A. v. Humboldt.
