VOL. I.

THE favourable reception which has been given to

the English Translation of FICHTE's popular writings having rendered necessary a New Edition of some of the earlier publications, the Translator has availed himself of the opportunity thus afforded him of issuing in a collective form the writings which he had previously sent forth in separate volumes. He indulges the hope of thereby giving a more fixed and permanent outward shape to works which have nothing transitory or perishable in their internal character, and perchance of adding something to the well-earned fame of a truly Great Man.

The present volume contains an enlarged edition of the MEMOIR OF FICHTE, the LECTURES on the VOCATION OF THE SCHOLAR and on the NATURE OF THE SCHOLAR, and THE VOCATION OF MAN. The last-mentioned work is now published for the first time in its present shape. The second volume will contain the CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRESENT AGE, and the DOCTRINE OF RELIGION.
