108. Hügelmann, "Ein Brief über Kant," p. 610. Another, more famous, visitor to Kant
     was Karamsin, the Russian writer, who visited Kant in June 1789. He found,
     among other things: "He lives in a small shabby (unansehnlich) house; and, all in
     all, everything about him is ordinary, except his metaphysics" (Maker, Kant in
     Rede und Gespräch, p. 348). *

115. But this does not mean that the influence of Kantian philosophy per se dimin¬
     ished. Pörschke lectured several times on the first Critique, and Schulz gave a
     course on natural theology on the basis of the Religion within the Limits of Mere
     Reason in the summer semester of 1795, and in the winter semester 1795-96.


116. Voigt, Kraus, p. 376; see also Pörschke in Maker, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, p. 442
     (letter to Fichte, 1798). Freiherr von Stein's close collaborator, Schroetter de¬
     creed in 1800 that "no one would henceforth be permitted to enter East Prussian
     administrative service without a certificate of having attended Kraus's lectures."
     See Epstein, The Origins of German Conservatism, p. 181.


117. Voigt, Kraus, p. 154. Kraus also assumed that Kant wrote so much in his later
     years because he "no longer attended social events in the evening, yet wanted to
     rid himself of his thoughts" (Voigt, Kraus, p. 154). Kraus was at this time no
     longer close to Kant and did not know of his "weakness."
