Extract

Wieland's first mention of the plan of the Merkur is in a letter to Riedel dated Sept. 17, 1772:

Ich bin entschlossen, eine Art von Journal zu entrepreniren, welches quo ad formam einige Ähnlichkeit mit dem Mercure de france haben soll. Prosaische Original-Aufsätze, Litterarische Nachrichten, Recensionen und Revisionen unrichtiger Urtheile über interessante Schriften, sollen die Haupt-Artikel davon ausmachen.
