“Fichte I could not understand at all; though the treatise which I read was one intended to be popular”
Letters of Margaret Fuller ed. Hudspeth · [ca. 14 February 1836]
MERGED 2026-10-11: absorbed duplicate witness(es) re324 (Mem-2 Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli (sections), Mem-2-02 l.5217-5222; tier A; same passage) — counted once here. Explicit 'the treatise which I read was one intended to be popular.' Identification note (Oct 12, 2026): the excerpt names no work. The title identification as System der Sittenlehre is provisional — the treatise Fuller describes was 'one intended to be popular,' which the systematic Sittenlehre is not; the identification awaits a check of the edition's note on this letter.
No datable encounters with Fichte, Johann Gottlieb have been catalogued yet.
