MEMOIR

OF

JOHANN GOTTLIEB FICHTE.

BY

WILLIAM SMITH.

Zwei sind der Wege, auf welchen der Mensch zur Tugend emporstrebt;
Schließt sich der eine dir zu, thut sich der andre dir auf:

Handelnd erringt der Glückliche sie, der Leidende duldend.

Wohl ihm, den sein Geschick liebend auf beiden geführt!

SECOND EDITION.

LONDON:

JOHN CHAPMAN, 142, STRAND.

M.D.CCC. XLVIII.

Schiller.

281

A Second Edition of this Memoir having been

required, I have gladly availed myself of the opportunity thus afforded me of supplying some of the deficiencies of the first edition, although it still remains,-what it was originally intended to be,—a sketch.

The Lectures" On the Nature of the Scholar," which were formerly printed along with the Memoir, will be republished in a separate form.

EDINBURGH, MARCH 1848.

W. SMITH.
