Hermann Ludwig Heinrich Von Puckler-Muskau, prince, a German author, born at Muskau, Lusatia, Oct. 30, 1785, died at Branitz, near Kottbus, Feb. 4, 1871. He studied in Leipsic, served in various armies, and was made prince by the king of Prussia in 1822. He laid out magnificent parks at Muskau and Branitz, but in 1845 sold the former domain. His private life was marked by eccentric habits. Among his principal works, which chiefly describe his extensive travels in Europe and the East, and are remarkable for racy delineations both of aristocratic and semi-civilized life, are: Briefe eines Verstorbenen (4 vols., 1830-'31; English translation by Mrs. Sarah Austin, "The Travels of a German Prince in England," 3 vols., 1832); Andeutungen über Landschafts-gärtnerei (1834); Tutti Frutti (5 vols., 1834; English translation by Edmund Spencer, 1834); Semilasso's vorletzter Weltgang (3 vols., 1835); Semilasso in Afrika (5 vols., 1836); Süldöst-licher Bildersaal (3 vols., 1840); Aus Mehemet Ali's Reich (3 vols., 1844); and Die Rückkehr (3 vols., 1846-'8; English translation, "Mehemet Ali and Egypt," 3 vols., 1848). Ludmilla Assing has published Fürst Pückler Muskau, sein Leben und Nachlass (4 vols., 1873-4).
