‡Unfortunately, this is entirely unintelligible for all those who have never become aware of a law-giving free arbitrary will but have been consistently guided by the blind power of imagination, according to the stream of their association of ideas. But this is not my fault!—Human beings’ recollection of thought [Gedankenerinnerung] is free, too. And whoever has not liberated it, is certainly receptive to no other kind of freedom.

§For the few, who do not know this! The serf (glebae adscriptus19) has unmeasured labor services. He must work as much as the master demands. As a general rule, he demands six days of feudal service on his field and errands on the seventh, or hauls to the city. The free farmer, in whose soil the master has only a part of the property rights, has measured services. He performs a determinate number of labor services.

22. This is an allusion to the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, 1785–86, a scandal in which Queen Marie Antoinette was accused of defrauding diamond jewelers in an elaborate confidence scheme.

23. Denis Diderot, 1713–84.
