MILLER, Johann Martin, was born in 1750, at Ulm, where his father was a preacher and professor. He studied for the church at Göttingen; where he became one of the Hainbund, or society of poets, which included among its members Boie, Bürger, Höty, and others. In 1783 Miller was appointed preacher in the cathedral of Ulm; and in 1810 he was made dean of Ulm. He wrote poetry, chiefly lyrical and elegiac; and many of his pieces have become extremely popular. He also wrote several novels and romances, in the sentimental style, of which the principal is Siegwart, a work which excited great interest, and met with much success. His novels and romances are now forgotten, and little read; but his poems have lost none of their popularity. He died in 1814.
