About the book >.>.> I HAVE called this little book ‘a study’ because it consists of a selection from notes tes made as a preliminary to some-thing more systematic which however now at my time of life is never likely to appear. I have decided to publish them-not without misgiving-in the hope that they may be of some use to students younger than myself. But I might not have got even this far had I not been invited by the British Academy to deliver this year the annual Henriette Hertz Lecture on a Master Mind and selected Immanuel Kant as my man. The edition of Kant’s works which I have used is that of Hartenstein in eight volumes Leipsic 1867-8. But the Critique of Pure Reason I have quoted according to the original paging of the first and second editions one or both denoting the former as A the latter as B in accord-ance with present practice. The Prolegomena too I have quoted in the same way using Benno Erdmann’s edition (where the original paging is given). I have to thank my friend Professor G. Dawes Hicks whose wide knowledge of Kant and extensive Kantian Library have been most generously placed at my disposal. He has helped me in many a difficulty and read through the typescript of this book. And I can never repay him. (SP)
