Zwey Reden von der Charlatanerie oder Marcktschreyerey der Gelehrten - Linde, Philander von der 1674-1732; Tilgner, Gottfried 1691-1717 (Leipzig Gleditsch, 1716)
Satire that exterminates all those Mencke considered as bunglers and pretenders "through lines that evidence a vast and patient erudition, the humbuggery and folies of the learned: their worship of the past and denigration of the present; their chicanery in the law, their quackery in medicine, their log-rolling in criticism, their pedantry in study, their meticulous quibbling in logic, their wordy fatuities in metaphysics." (Isaac Goldberg, in 'The Man Mencken', 1925)
Two speeches from 1713 and 1715 with a letter of Sebastian Stadel.
