Shortly after he published the Critique of Revelation, which is thoroughly Kantian in spirit and method; and the author's name having been ac cidentally omitted from the title-page it was received and warmly welcomed as a work from the old philoso pher's own hand. When Fichte's authorship was dis closed his reputation was made; and the success of the book enabled Fichte to marry Johanna Rahn in the autumn of 1793. The progress of the French Revolution led Fichte to publish a number of tracts in which the rights of the people were established on the basis of the inherent moral freedom of man. These increased his fame, though they caused him to be regarded by conservatives as a dangerous and radical teacher. In 1794 he was appointed Professor of Philosophy at Jena, then at the zenith of its re nown. Here his success as a lecturer was remark able, but difficulties soon occurred both with unruly students and with the authorities.
