AbstractLieber has become a relatively forgotten man. Like many another of those dimly seen in the background of the stage of history, he participated in some memorable scenes. He was in the Waterloo campain, involved with Jahn, and the Turners, etc. By the time he died, his limited, but significant, contributions were no longer in bringing European ideas to America but in sending American ideas to Europe. As a conveyor and synthesizer, even if not as an originator, Lieber was great.
