or Academical career, and, after returning for a while to country life, retired to the small town of Gollub, where he devoted himself to literary studies. In 1847 he settled at Thorn, "the home of Copernicus," where he died on the 12th of November 1870. Goltz is best known to literary fame by his Buch der Kindheit (Frankfort, 1847; 4th ed., Berlin, 1877), in which, after the style of Jean Paul, and Adalbert Stifter, but with a more modern realism, he gives a charming and idyllic description of the impressions of his own childhood. Among his other works must be noted Ein Jugendleben (1852); Der Mensch and die Leute (1858); Zur Charakteristik and Naturgeschichte der Frauen (1859); Zur Geschichte and Charakteristik des deutschen Genius (1864), and Die Weltklugheit and die Lebensweisheit (1869).
Goltz's works have not been collected, but a selection will be found in Reclam's Universalbibliothek (ed. by P. Stein, 1901 and 1906). See O. Roquette, Siebzig Jahre, i. (1894).
