The automata were next seen, packed up in boxes in an attic, by the German writer Christoph Friedrich Nicolai, who published an account of his travels in 1783.

The man was Gottfried Christoph Beireis, doctor to the Duke of Brunswick, collector of curiosities and reputed master of alchemy.

 H-Net Review: Charles Ingrao on Everyday Life in the German Book Trade: Friedrich Nicolai as ...
Nicolai was definitely a "hands-on" manager, whose dedication and hard work generated frequent trips to book fairs, extensive correspondence, and a steady income for his publishing business, which flourished in the immediate aftermath of the Seven Years' War before attaining its peak during the 1770s and early 1780s.
This may be true of a man who first attracted attention as a twenty-one-year-old author who rashly assailed the stuffiness and stilted prose of Germany's literary establishment and who left it as a recalcitrant adversary of the new aesthetics and philosophy of the Revolutionary Age.
Another salient of Nicolai's public agenda was a commitment to equality that extended beyond the missionary zeal with which he promoted the broadest possible reading public.

 Johann Georg Jacobi Summary
The rationalist writer and critic Friedrich Nicolai thought Jacobi sufficiently ridiculous to skewer him as "Herr von Säugling" (Baron Suckling) in the novel Das Leben und die Meinungen des Herrn Magister Sebaldus Nothanker (The Life and Opinions of the Schoolmaster Sebaldus Nothanker, 1773-1776); Goethe also satirized him in two farces.
The poetry of this period is one of reflection and taking stock; the role played by reason increases; the poet pays greater attention to the world outside the self.
