FIRST EDITION, THIRD ISSUE. TP + [3]-222, Octavo. First Edition, Third Issue (Warda 77).The third printing of the first edition of the Prolegomena, identified by Warda as having an ornamental floral piece at the bottom of page 222 (rather than the rod - sometime called a staff or a bar - with twisting leaves found there in the second printing, Warda 76). The first printing is easily identified by the differences in the headpiece found on page 3. This is a "floriated bar" in the first printing and a floral design with two small angels in the center (as here). Finally, in the first issue, page 78, line 8 has the misprinted "subjektiv" rather than the correct"'objektiv" - a mistake that was corrected in the two later printing. [Interestingly, an early owner of this copy has changed the correct "objektiv" back to the original error, "subjective," with a small ink insert.]The Prolegomena is Kant's defense of his Critik der reinen Vernunft (The Critique of Pure Reason) and is considered by many to be his most beautiful and comprehensive book. It certainly continues to be widely read and admired as one of his most concise and approachable works today. It was in the Preface of this book that Kant famously relates the story of being "woken from his dogmatic slumbers" by his reading of David Hume's challenging Treatise on Human Nature (1739-40).The book was written primarily to remove some of the bewilderment that had greeted the release of the first edition of the Critik der reinen Vernunft (the so-called "A" text of the Critik) in 1781. Kant felt that his book had been severely misunderstood and hence, unfairly criticized - most especially by Garve in his review of the Critik in the Göttinger Gelehrten Anzeiger. The clarifying points made in the Prolegomena were subsequently incorporated into Kant's second edition of the Critik der reinen Vernunft (the so-called "B" text of the Critik) when it was issued in 1787. Contemporary ½ leather with marbled boards. There are five raised bands on the spine, gilt decorations 1927 D41") neatly written in ink. Aside from a small ink splash on pages 60-61, this is a near fine contemporary copy - bright, tight and clean - of this immensely important work by Immanuel Kant.
