“I read a quantity of Allemagne in town but could not find Werner.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. VI. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1988.

Inferred Fuller was specifically looking for Werner in De l'Allemagne but "could not find Werner"; Hudspeth identified him as Zacharias Werner (1768–1823), an important Romantic dramatist, and note his best-known play as Der vierundzwanzigste Februar (The Twenty-Fourth of February, 1809/1815), though Fuller did not locate or read it.
