In November, 1742, the King sent his adjutant-general, Baron Lottum, who was related to my mother, to Konigsberg, with whom I dined at my grandfather's.
For a time it was of the world forgotten, while, as Barlasch had predicted, free men continued at liberty, though their names had an evil savour, while innocent persons in prison were left to rot there. Desiree continued to receive letters from her husband, full of love and war. For a long time he lingered at Konigsberg, hoping every day to be sent forward.
A visit from a smart young man, Gustavus Schwab of Königsberg; he gives a flattering picture of Prussia, which is preparing for freedom. The King must keep his word, though, or the people may chance to tire of waiting. Dined at H.B. Macdonald's with rather a young party for Colin M'Kenzie and me. June 28. Wrote a little and corrected proofs. How many things have I unfinished at present?
Germany, under his reign, might have forgotten her language: he preferred the literature of France. Konigsberg, once the seminary of the North, contains, at present, few professors, or students; the former are fallen into disrepute, and are ill paid; the latter repair to Leipsic and Gottingen.
We could not cross the line between Germany and Russia. "We meekly asked where we were to go, and were relieved when we found that we went back only to the nearest town, but that the passports must be sent to Konigsberg, sixty miles away, to be endorsed by the Russian ambassador it might take some days.
The case is told, I think, in an anonymous life of this very great man. For health's sake, Kant imposed upon himself, at one time, a walk of six miles every day along a highroad. This fact becoming known to a man who had his private reasons for committing murder, at the third milestone from Königsberg, he waited for his "intended," who came up to time as duly as a mail-coach.
I do not want to advise you, but I think that the Berlin performance is an important point for you, and that you would gain nothing by altering your previous position I mean that the performance should not take place except through my medium and according to my directions. I was told that the Konigsberg troupe intended to perform "Tannhauser" at Berlin this summer.
Those on the sea-coast are of importance only in a maritime war, except for depots: they may even prove disastrous for a continental army, by holding out to it a delusive promise of support. Benningsen almost lost the Russian armies by basing them in 1807 on Königsberg, which he did because it was convenient for supply.
The few American grammars, printed for the most part in the seventeenth century, passed into the Missions, and have been lost in the forests. I had much difficulty to collect in the Missions, and in the convents, those grammars of American languages, which, on my return to Europe, I placed in the hands of Severin Vater, professor and librarian at the university of Konigsberg.
A lame man was standing on the bridge that crosses the Neuer Pregel from the Kant Strasse which is the centre of the city of Konigsberg to the island known as the Kneiphof. This bridge is called the Kramer Brucke, and may be described as the heart of the town.
