JABLONSKI, Theodore, counsellor of the court of Prussia, and secretary of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Berlin, was also a man of distinguished merit. He loved the sciences, and did them honour, without that ambition which is generally observable in men of learning; and it was owing to this modesty that the greatest part of his works were published without his name. He published, in 1711, a French and German Dictionary; in 1713, a Course of Morality; a Dictionary of Arts and Sciences in 1721; and translated Tacitus de Moribus Germanorum into High Dutch in 1724.
