In August 1785, he traveled to Vienna to introduce himself to the Minister of Public Education, Gottfried van Swieten, and to request the inspectorate of the county schools of the following Counties: Szepes, Sáros, Zemplén, Ung, Bereg, Gömör, Torna, Abaúj, Borsod, Heves and the autonomies of Jászság és Kiskunság.
On November 11 he was nominated for this position, which he held for five years.

From 1785 to 1790 Kazinczy was known as the "apostle of renewing Hungarian education".
As a supervisor he had a well paid job and a wide range of power.
But even his school-organizing practice turned him against the churches and his brothers of faith whom he had been friends with during the early eighties.
He lived in Kassa, travelled a lot in Upper and Eastern Hungary, established and controlled schools.
His superiors were satisfied with him and his results.
He took over 79 functioning schools as he started working in his position.
This number rose rapidly to 124 of which 19 were common schools where pupils belonging to different denominations received state-funded joint education.

Finally he finished the translations of Salomon Gessner's idylls and published them in one book with the title Gessner Idylliumi in 1788 in Kassa.
Its preface dates back to summer 1785 and was written to Gedeon Ráday.
During his demanding works on the book, which he did with great care, he could count on the help of the author, Salomon Gessner and, after his death, on the help of his widow.
It was Kazinczy's first world-famous translation and brought him recognition and appreciation abroad.
He paid particular attention to the content and stylistic fidelity, accuracy, and musical rhythm of the language.

Gessner's classical idyllic world expresses Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock's sentimentality in a pseudo environment.
His middle-class optimism keeps all disturbances away from its reader.
Its Roccoco emotions are remotely related to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's world of thoughts, but it is rather a sweeter and simpler happiness offering version of that.
By turning away from civilization and retreating into the ancient beautiful times, Gessner criticizes society, but at the same time brings us into a middle-class ideal world.
As an enlightened, emotionally educated young man, this feeling of life was no stranger to him, but he was particularly delighted with the sophisticated style of the work.

His emotional world was refined by the saloon life of Kassa, whose social pleasures he felt as delightful as the Freemasonry ceremonies which he often attended.
His desires were tense between Teréz Radvánszky and Zsuzsanna Kácsándy.
For the "nice companies" gathered in the saloons of the Török, Kácsándy and Bárcsay families and for female members of the Freemasonry he addressed his Bácsmegyeynek öszve-szedett levelei (English: Collected letters of Bácsmegyey) in 1789.
It was a translation of Albrecht Christoph Kayser's Adolfs gesammelte Briefe which was a pastiche of Werther.
This form of translation, which differs from the principle of faithful translation followed during his works on the Gessner Idylliumi, was common in Hungarian literature at that time, but not in such a way as Kazinczy did in his Bácsmegyeynek öszve-szedett levelei.
He moved the figure and scene of Kayser's original novel into the role of his friends and into the scenes of their frequent gatherings which showed a rare example of personal self-expression in translation.
In some cases his protagonist openly attacks the estates of the realm as a limitation of freedom for humans and emotions.
The first edition was indeed a great success in Hungarian public life.
Ádám Pálóczi Horváth, János Földi, Mihály Csokonai Vitéz, Sándor Kisfaludy, Mihailo Vitković and Benedek Virág enthusiastically welcomed it.
However Kazinczy also received criticism from conservative writers and from his teachers in Sárospatak.

On November 13, 1787 Kazinczy together with Dávid Szabó Baróti and János Batsányi in order to organize the literary movements of the Hungarian literature of that era established the Magyar Museum periodical.
