'At Maidstone, both on this occasion and subsequently when I served several months in separate confinement as a convict preparatory to going to Parkhurst, I was able, through the chaplain's kindness, to study not only Greek philosophy, but also Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Kant, Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Fechner, Lotze, etc. Being a very rapid reader and having some ability in getting at the gist of a book I got through a fair amount of really interesting reading. ... In the summer I grabbed a book as soon as it was light enough to read, say, four o'clock, read till and during breakfast, dinner, supper and continued till 9:30 or 10 o'clock at night, an average of 8 to 10 hours a day. There were times, of course, when the burden of prison life bred a spirit of discontent and restlessness which books could not assuage.'

Joseph Arnould to Robert Browning, 19 December 1847:
'My dear Browning do you know the German transcendental writers at all -- especially
[italics]Fichte[end italics]? an enterprising American bookseller here has been translating all
his exoteric works i.e. all except his Formal System of Metaphysics -- the titles will show you
the nature of the Books[:] "The destination of Man" "The nature & vocation of the scholar"
"Characteristics of the present age" [...] I have been reading them with that engrossing, rapt,
concentrated attention which no book can command except one which speaks to the very soul
of the reader: formalized in Fichte's books I find what has long been hovering vaguely before
my own mind as truth: especially on Religion & Christianity. Do READ THEM -- they are not
costly[,] the price of the hitherto published is as follows Characteristics of the Present Age 7s
Vocation of the Scholar 2s The Destination of Man 3s 6d'.
