KARL SALOMON, Baron Von Lingenthal, an eminent German jurist and political writer, was born at Meissen on the 14th of September 1769. He was educated at Leipzig, and subsequently at Wittenberg, where he was in 1802 appointed ordinary professor of jurisprudence. He had previous to this time given great promise of future success as a political writer; and as an invitation from the university of Heidelberg in 1807 held out superior claims to a man of literary tastes to the position which he at that time occupied, he resolved to accept of it. Here he remained till his death in 1843. Zachariae is generally regarded as the ablest modern writer on law and politics which Germany has known. He was chosen a member of the first and second chambers of the Grand-Duchy of Baden, and was ennobled a short time before his death. The following are his chief works:—Handbuch des Kursteischen Lehrechts, 1796; Die Einheit des Staats und der Kirche, 1797; Handbuch des Französischen, Civilrechts, 4 vols. 1827; Vierzig Bucher Von Staate, 5 vols. 1820-32; also a new and improved edition of this excellent work was published 1839-48; and Lucius Cornelius Sulla, an admirable work, was published in 1834.
