IVORICS. 329 the promised publication of a manuscript of Kant's last years, now in possession of the Hamburg pastor, Albrecht Krause, and which discusses the transition from the metaphysical elements of natural science to physics, will hardly meet the expectations which some have cher- ished concerning it. Benno Erdmann has issued Nach trdge zu Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft aus Kants Nach- iass, 1 88 1, and Reflexionen Kants zur kritischen Philoso- phie aus handschriftlichen Aufzeichnungen — the first vol- ume first Heft {Reflexionen zur Anthropologie) appearing in 1882, the second volume {Reflexionen zur Kritik der reinen Vernunft, aus Kants Haiidexemplar von Baumgart- ens Metaphysical in 1884. Max Miiller has made an English translation of the Critique of Pure Reason, 2 vols., 1881.* The best complete edition of the works of Kant is the second edition of Hartenstein, in eight volumes, 1867-68, which is chronologically arranged and excellently gotten up. Simultaneously with the first edition of Hartenstein in ten volumes, in 1838 seq., appeared the edition in twelve volumes by K. Rosenkranz and F. W. Schubert (contain- ing in the last volumes a biography of Kant by Schubert, and a history of the Kantian philosophy by Rosenkranz, 1842). Kehrbach's edition of the principal works in Rec- lam's Universal-Bibliothek, with the pagination of the original and collective editions (1877 seq^, is more valuable than Von Kirchmann's edition of the complete works in his Philosophise he Bibliothek. Among the works on Kant those of Kuno Fischer (vols, iii.-iv. of the Geschichte der neueren Philosophic, 3d ed., 1882 ; also Kant's Leben und die Grundlagen seiner Lehre, i860) take the first place. The writings of Liebmann, Cohen, Stadler, Riehl, Volkelt, and others will be mentioned later,
