We think that the full expression
of the thought here shadowed out, is to be found in the Kindergarten
occupations of mat-weaving, stick-laying, etc., in their arithmetical
aspect. Certainly in these occupations, instead of number being built up
as with bricks, etc., it is laid along horizontally.
[85] Carl Christian Friedrich Krause, an eminent philosopher, and the
most learned writer on freemasonry in his day, was born in 1781. at
Eisenberg, in Saxony. From 1801 to 1804 he was a professor at Jena,
afterwards teaching in Dresden, Goettingen, and Munich, at which latter
place he died in 1832.
[86] Lorenz Oken, the famous naturalist and man of science, was born at
Rohlsbach, in Swabia, 1st August, 1779. (His real name was Ockenfuss.)
In 1812 Oken was appointed ordinary professor of natural history at
Jena, and in 1816 he founded his celebrated journal, the _Isis_, devoted
chiefly to science, but also admitting comments on political matters.
The latter having given offence to the Court of Weimar, Oken was called
upon either to resign his professorship or suppress the _Isis_. He
chose the former alternative, sent in his resignation, transferred the
publication of the _Isis_ to Rudolstadt, and remained at Jena as a
private teacher of science.
