Hi @ Kusma: That is me started the review. I've added this wee template to show how it is progressing. scope_creep Talk 23:22, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
He was born in Paris as son of the Bavarian-born..Doesn't sound right. Possibly, Born in Paris, he was the son of or Born in Paris, Huber was the son...
In the early 1780sComma?
who was engaged to Minna Stock, and with her older sister Dora StockDoesn't sound right. Perhaps something like.. "the jurist Christian Gottfried Körner, his fiance Minna Stock and her older sister Dora Stock, whom he later promised to marry.
NeuchâtelI don't know where that is. So I think he is moving but its not clearly explained.
Elector of BavariaCan that be linked?
had arrivedSuperfluous had?
his parents probably were marriedhis parents were probably married. I assume a note be needed here, to explain why the sources are varying?
seen aroundIs the figure not exact? So its not definite, so you had to put the "seen in.
Johann Georg WilleYou give an explanation stating he was a "German-born artist and engraver" but you provide the same explanations of why they are known, for example at: "Georg Forster and his wife Therese" in the lede. Would be normal what they did, for example "The German naturalist Georg Forster and his wife, the French author Therese" It doesn't flow wrong but only if it is slightly inconsistant.
The father had no reliable source of income in Paris, and when the position of a teacher of French at the University of Leipzig became available in 1766, he was happy to accept an offer that had been mediated by Christian Ludwig von Hagedorn and Christian Felix Weiße, and the family left for Leipzig on 15 September 17665 clauses. I think it probably needs split.
bilingual in"in both" or is it implied?
he was financially never well off"he was never financially well off"
Huber's mother also offered"also" I don't think this is needed. It does need something though, for example "to make ends meet" or something else suitable of the period.
Huber laterSound a bit odd. Possibly "When he was older, Huber"?
the mostly French booksThat makes no sense. They were mostly in French or Most of them were French books? I'm not sure how to rephrase it.
trainedIs that right word? Did he have tutors?
Ancient Greek and Classical AntiquityThese should be linked.
Translating from English, he adapted Colley Cibber's comedy Love Makes a Man into German; it was played in Leipzig in 1783 without much success by the theatre company of Pasquale Bondini [it] and Joseph Seconda and then printed in Berlin in 1784Split this please. Too many clauses. Translations, then adaptions, then playing by companies then printed. They are logically related but too far apart.

In 1784comma
His friendship to Schiller"with Schiller"
and sometimes met with his sponsor to learn to move in a court atmosphereSeems to be a spare bit no meaning?
watercolours"watercolours painted"
In Schiller's magazine Thalia, Huber published an essay in 1786 on the topic of greatnessPossibly swap it around. Huber is the subject.
Huber travelled via Leipzig, where he visited his parents, Weimar, where he saw Schiller, and Frankfurt, where he met Goethe's mother Katharina Elisabeth GoetheIt is very terse.
At first, they had not the best impression of Huber, whose habit of using extensive quotations while speaking they found irritatingDoesn't sound right. Something like "At first, they did not have the best impression of Huber, whose whose habit of using extensive quotations while speaking, irritated them"
speaking irritated themCan you change it to "speaking that irritated them"
fact"fact written"
In the meantime, Forster had left Mainz for Paris in March 1793 to petition for the accession of the newly founded Republic of Mainz to the First French Republic, and Mainz had come under siege by Prussian and Austrian troops and capitulated on 23 July 1793, making it impossible for Forster to return to Mainz.Very long?

literary criticismCan you link it either here, or in the Lede. Most people don't know what it is.
This is fine. Really well written.

I read the Wikisource last night and thought I found sections on the quality of his writing, but reading it a second time this morning, it seems to be much less detailed. It would have been mentioned in much more detail at the time if it was available in 1811. I was hoping to see a small section or a couple of sentences on the quality of this writing. scope_creep Talk 09:22, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

The Schillerhäuschen on the illustration is not identical with the Schillerhaus in Leizig/Gohlis where Schiller lived. Also, Huber never lived in the same house as Schiller. -- Bernardoni ( talk) 17:25, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
