Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Critik der reinen Vernunft ;that is, Inquiry into the Reach andE xtent of the a priori Operations of the Human Understanding; first published at Riga in 1781. II. In 1783, Kant published a defence of the Critik, entitled Metaphysical Prolegomena. At the same time the first part of theE thics appeared, under the title of Grundlegung zur Metaphysik derS itten; t. e. Groundwork of theM etaphysic of Ethics. Both works have been translated into English: the first by Mr Richardson in 1819 ;the second by an anonymous writer, who published two miscellaneous volumes in 1799, under the title of Kant sE ssays. The work of Mr Richardson is to be had at any bookseller s. The Essays are apparently rendered by a foreigner, and printed abroad, although graced with a Lohdon title-page. The only copy of this Miscellany I have ever been able to procure, is the copy in the Advocates Library. No translation of any other part of Kant sP hilosophy has hitherto been attempted in this country. III. In 1786, The Metaphysic of Physics. This expounds the metaphysical foundations of natural philosophy. IV. In 1788, Critik derP raktischen Vernimfl; that is. Inquiry into the a priori Functions andO perations of theW ill, or, as we might say, aD isirtation on the Active and Moral Powers of Man. This is the superstructure reared upon the groundwork. It treats of the Causality andS pring of theW ill, and of theS ummum Bonum. Three chapters of this work will be found in the following sheets, under the title of Inquiry into the a priori Operations of theW ill. V. Critik der Urtheilskraft, at Beriin, in 1790: which is aD issertation on theE motions of Beauty andS ublimity, and on the Adaptation of theM aterial Universe to itself, and to theL ogical Functions of the Human I ntellect.
