Ludwig Heinrich von Nicolay (1737-1820) is virtually unknown in our
time. Yet at the close of the eighteenth century he enjoyed a
considerable reputation as a German poet of the French
neo-classical orientation. He was esteemed as tutor to the Russian
Emperor Paul I, as Russian State Counciller, and as President of
the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences. Moreover he was a friend
of the most prominent eighteenth century minds that left their
imprints on modern thought. As such a man, Nicolay may be studied
from several points of view, as a writer, as an educator and as an
intellectual. My first preoccupation with Nicolay was of a literary
natur- which resulted in a doctoral dissertation presented to the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor (1960), under the title "Ludwig
Heinrich von Nicolay (1737-1820) as an exponent of neo-classicism.
" The existence of the Nicolay archives, now in the possession of
the Countess von der Pahlen in Helsinki, was not known to me at the
time. Having later gained access to the same, I discovered a vast
amount of un pub lished documents and a treasury of correspondence
with the leading intellectuals of the eighteenth and the beginning
of the nineteenth centuries. Much of this material was to be
published in conjunction with the late Count N. von der Pahlen, who
unexpectedly and unfortu nately died in 1963."
