events, with Süss-Oppenheimer as the third protagonist. He is depicted as the archetypal Jew, and with contemporary anti-Semitic prejudice clearly noticeable. However, it is interesting to note, that the political debate on Oppenheimer’s Wnancial reforms, and his successful management of the Duke of Württemberg’s state Wnances, which included extensive modernisation and reform of the economy, is depicted in an exceedingly positive light. The dialogues give a fascinating insight into the public response to the fate of Oppenheimer, and by extension a good view of the contemporary political and social debate.

First edition in French of Kant’s important essay Zum ewigen Frieden (Wrst published in 1795), and presumably the edition in which it was read in most of Europe. This publication is a clear outcome of the growing emphasis and reliance on international relations in modern politics. Kant, who knew Rousseau’s Extrait du Projet de Paix perpetuelle, which in turn was based on Castel de Saint-Pierre’s fundamental work of the beginning of the eighteenth century, here details the basis of practical paciWsm. In his far-reaching analysis of preconditions for the establishment of peace, Kant anticipates twentieth century developments, such as the League of Nations and the United Nations Charter. ‘The social order that Kant recommended, based as it was on his analysis of man’s nature, would permit a maximum of individual freedom and competition, yet would have enough power to restrain this freedom whenever it threatened to produce oppression or anarchy. He proposed a similar system for international aVairs; each separate state should be free to run its own aVairs, but a supranational federation of sovereign states would have enough power to regulate international relations and prevent war’ (IESS). This Wrst French edition is of importance in its own right, since it actually contains a second supplement not included in the original German edition of the previous year. The additional Article secret pour la Paix perpétuelle, was later reprinted in the second German edition. Here Kant recommends that the authorities of the state should consult the philosophers on the questions of peace or war. No information on the identity of the translator is available. It seems evident however that it was not by Kant himself, as the translation is not particularly faithful, some of the footnotes have been cut, others left out.

Königsberg, Friedrich Nicolovius, 1803. £650 8vo, pp. vi, 146; entirely uncut in contemporary boards, spine partially lettered in manuscript; extremities a little bent, else a Wne and crisp; from the library of the Swedish philosopher Samuel Grubbe. First edition of Kant’s only speciWc contribution to educational theory. Kant, as professor of Logic and Metaphysics at Königsberg also had to lecture on subsidiary subjects, such as education. He handed his lecture notes to his friend, Theodor Rink, and they were Wnally published in 1803, a year before Kant’s death. This brief treatise, in itself not a systematic study of educational theories but a collection of thoughts and maxims, shows Kant strongly inXuenced by Rousseau’s Emile. Just like Rousseau he writes about ‘education according to nature’, but stresses that children should be treated as children and not as adults in miniature. According to Kant ‘man’ is the only creature catalogue fourteen
