Volume 1: 1 blank leaf + TP + [iii]-xxiv + [1]-556 + [557] = Berichtegungen (Corrections); Volume 2: 1 blank leaf + TP + [iii]-xxxii + half-title + [3]-734 + [735] = Druckfelher (Printing Errors); Octavo. First Editions.In 1819, Fries was suspended from his teaching position in Jena for his liberal politics and for involvement in student protests. When he was once again allowed to teach at Jena in 1824, he found himself estranged and in isolation from the intellectual currents of the period. "From then on, supported by a small following, he devoted his life to the studies of mathematics, physics, and psychology, To systematization of his metaphysics and ethics, and to the rewriting of the history of philosophy on the theme of 'progress in scientific development'." (EP, Vol. III, p. 253) Very nice, modern half-leather with dark blue boards and light tan leather. The spine has five raised bands and the title has gilt lettering on a red field. There is a small stain (1" x 2") on the spine and front side leather of volume 2. The text is completely uncut. On the front blank leaf Göttingen. 1911.") and replaced below with another (of either three or two lines respectively) signed by "Hans Mühlestein". Occasional marginalia but certain sections of the text (for instance, Heraclitus and Democritus in volume one) are heavily underlined and also annotated in the margins. This is even more prominent in volume two where fully a third or more of the text is so marked. Otherwise (but this is a very big "otherwise" when considering the markings), this is a lovely copy.
