ACKERMANN, JOHANN See also:CHRISTIAN GOTTLIEB (1756–1801) , See also:German physician, was See also:born at See also:Zeulenroda, in Upper See also:Saxony, on the 17th of See also:February 1756, and died at See also:Altdorf on the 9th of See also:March 18o1. At the See also:age of fifteen he became a student of See also:medicine at See also:Jena under E. G. See also:Baldinger, whom he followed to See also:Gottingen in 1773, and afterwards he studied for two years at See also:Halle. A. few years' practice at See also:Stendal (1778–1799), where there were numerous factories, enabled him to add many valuable See also:original observations to his See also:translation (1780–1783) of Bernardino Ramazzini's (1633–1714) See also:treatise on diseases of artificers. In 1786 he became See also:professor of medicine at the university of Altdorf, in See also:Franconia, occupying first the See also:chair of See also:chemistry, and then, from 1794 till his See also:death in 18o1, that of See also:pathology and See also:therapeutics. He wrote 11,144 bones Historiae Medicinae (See also:Nuremberg, x792)and Institutions Therapiae Generalis (Nuremberg and Altdorf, 1784–1795), besides various handbooks and See also:translations. ACKERMANN, See also:LOUISE VICTORINE CHOQUET (1813–189o), See also:French poet, was born in See also:Paris on the 3oth of See also:November 1813. Educated by her See also:father in the See also:philosophy of the Encyclopaedists, Victorine Choquet went to See also:Berlin in 1838 to study German, and there married in 1843 See also:Paul Ackermann, an Alsatian philologist. After little more than two years of happy married See also:life her See also:husband died, and Madame Ackermann went to live at See also:Nice with a favourite See also:sister. In 1855 she published Conies en vers, and in 1862 Conies et poesies. Very different from these See also:simple and charming conies is the See also:work on which Madame Ackermann's real reputation rests.

She published in 1874 Fairies, premieres poesies, poesies philosophiques, a See also:

volume of sombre and powerful See also:verse, expressing her revolt against human suffering. The volume was enthusiastically reviewed in the Revue See also:des deux mondes for May 1871 by E. See also:Caro, who, though he deprecated the impiete desesperee of the verses, did full See also:justice to their vigour and the excellence of their See also:form. Soon after the publication of this volume Madame Ackermann removed to Paris,where she gathered See also:round her a circle of See also:friends, but published nothing further except a pose volume, the Pensees d'un See also:solitaire (1883), to which she prefixed a See also:short autobiography. She died at Nice on the 2nd of See also:August 189o. See also Anatole See also:France, La See also:vie litte'raire, 4th See also:series (1892) ; the See also:comte d'See also:Haussonville, Mme. Ackermann (1882) ; M. Citoleux, La poesie philosophique au XIXe. siecle (vol. i., Mme. Ackermann d'apres de nombreux documents inidits, Paris, 1906).
