The armistice of that date demanded that Germany give her entire fleet to the keeping of England. For a discussion of the surrender the German light cruiser Koenigsberg brought representatives from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Council, which was then in nominal control of the German fleet, into the Firth of Forth.
Condillac was voluntarily and systematically limited, but his system is well knit and presented in admirably clear and precise language. Kant Reconstructed all Philosophy by Supporting it on Morality. KNOWLEDGE. Kant, born at Koenigsberg in 1724, was professor there all his life and died there in 1804. Nothing happened to him except the possession of genius.
This was Werner, who has made some noise in German literature as the author of many wild Destiny-Dramas." "Hoffmann died, I believe, in Berlin." "Yes. He left Koenigsberg at twenty years of age, and passed the next eight years of his life in the Prussian-Polish Provinces, where he held some petty office under government; and took to himselfmany bad habits and a Polish wife.
However, it was known in Koenigsberg that Kant had gone out; and accordingly, as the carriage moved through the streets which led to his residence, there was a general rush from all quarters in that direction, and, when we turned into the street where the house stood, we found it already choked up with people.
Then there is an affectionate maiden aunt; and an uncle, a retired judge, the terror of little boys, the Giant Despair of this Doubting Castle in Koenigsberg; and occasionally the benign countenance of a venerable grand-uncle, whom Lamotte Fouque called a hero of the olden time in morning gown and slippers, looks in at the door and smiles.
Prussia is said to have contained fifty-five large fortified cities, forty-eight fortresses, and nineteen thousand and eight towns and villages. The population of the larger cities must have been considerable, for we are told that in 1352 the plague carried off thirteen thousand persons in Dantzic, four thousand in Thorn, six thousand at Elbing, and eight thousand at Koenigsberg.
Hence they were escorted by the whole body of the University, splendidly dressed for the occasion, and by many military officers of rank, with whom Kant had always been a great favorite, to the house of the deceased Professor; from which the corpse was carried by torch- light, the bells of every church in Koenigsberg tolling, to the Cathedral which was lit up by innumerable wax-lights.
I still continued, however, to reside in Koenigsberg; but wholly forgotten, or wholly unnoticed at least, by Kant. At table, Kant distributed his conversation and attentions pretty generally; but after the entertainment, when the company broke up into parties, he came and seated himself very obligingly by my side.
The oil gas is likewise applicable to the illumination of lighthouses, and among those that are now being lighted in that way we may cite the one in the port of Pillau, near Koenigsberg. Several large steamers are likewise being lighted on this plan.
The local affairs of Koenigsberg must have been interesting indeed, before they could be allowed to occupy the attention at his table. And, what may seem still more singular, it was rarely or never that he directed the conversation to any branch of the philosophy founded by himself.
