FICHTE, Johnann Gotttlieb.
Beitrag zur Berichtigung der Urtheile des Publikums über die französische Revolution. Erster Theil (Contribution Designed to Correct the Judgment of the Public on the French Revolution).
[no city]: [no publisher], 1793. FIRST EDITION [iii]-xvi + [1]-194 + xvii-xx [mis-bound] + 195-198 + xxi-xxiii [mis-bound] + 199 + [201]-[202] = Druckfehler (Errata), Small Octavo. First Edition. Baumgartner/Jacobs A1.4x. Published anonymously without listing either a printer or a city of origin. "In 1793 Fichte published his Contribution Designed to Correct the Judgment of the Public on the French Revolution. This work won for him the reputation of being a democrat and Jacobin, a politically dangerous figure. In spite of this, however, he was appointed professor of philosophy at Jena in 1794, partly owing to a warm recommendation by Goethe." (Copelston, Volume 7, Part 1, p. 51) Contemporary pasteboards and spine with small handwritten label (now all but illegible) for title. Spine edges worn (as is the center of the spine) with bumped corners. Front flyleaf with three-line contemporary inked Index (1st, 2nd 3rd Kapite) and faint embossed "Ex Libris / Dr. ?. Bierbach / Heildelberg". With very occasional pencil underlining and marginalia. Misbound as noted. Overall, a nice copy of this rare work by Fichte. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
