I should have answered your question sooner: but fear I forgot amid other engagements.

What I referred to was Dr. J. H. Stirling’s “Textbook to Kant”: which is a translation of the ‘Einleitung’: ‘Aesthetik; and Analytik’ of the ‘Kritik’ from the second edition as given in R. & S.’s edition of Kant’s works. This is preceded by a ‘Reproduction’ or exposition of the Kantian theory, and followed by a rough “commentary” or remarks on Kant’s method & meaning.

His address is

Dr. J. H. Stirling

4 Laverock Bank

Edinburgh.

From a letter I recently had from him he seems to look forward to carrying out his translation etc. through the Kritik.

I do not think Caird has written anything else on Kant, except an article in the Amer[ican] Journal of Spec[ulative] Phil[osophy] in reply to some fierce criticism by Stirling on his “Philosophy of Kant”. Watson has written in “Mind” & the ‘Journal of Sp[eculative] Phil[osophy]’ but I think nothing more than what is included in his book. Adamson wrote the article on “Kant” in the 13th vol[ume] of the Encycl[opædia] Britannica, published last year. Probably he could let you have the sheets of the article (Owen’s College, Manchester, would find him).

I have nothing of my own to add. A very slight review in the Academy of Max Müller’s translation seems hardly worth sending You. Several other books on Kant wait for notice: – including Your own first part of the Commentar – which, by the way, I got at Königsberg when I was there for a few days last July.

I have to thank You for Your kind expressions about my little book. Had I fully realised the difficulties of my task from the conditions of space & style of treatment, I do not think I should ever have begun it.

I look forward with interest to the appearance of the second half of Your first volume.

Yours sincerely
