For his life and system the best work is Kuno Fischer's Geschichte der neuren Philosophies i869» R. Adamson. THE PEOPLE AND THE FATHERLAND Ficki4. The famous Addresses to the German Nation were delivered during the winter of 1807-1808. The time was extremely critica!. Berlin was still under French control. Very stringent restrictions were laid upon freedom of speech ; a book- seller had actually been shot for publishing an unimportant pamphlet. Spies were always present at the lectures when the...se were delivered. It was often re- ported that the bold orator had been arrested. Under these circumstances the speaker was forced, in order to accomplish his work, to adopt a circuitous method, discernible throughout the addresses. The theme which runs through the series is the renewal of the nation and the national spirit by a reformation of the educational system which should emphasize the national characteristics. In the course of the discussion he comes to the question as to the nature of a people in the higher sense of that word, and the nature of patriotism or love of fatherland.
