To lighten the toil of penetrating through the wilderness of Kant’s long sentences, the English student has now many aids, which those who began their studies fifteen or twenty years ago did not enjoy.Translations, paraphrases, criticisms, have been published in considerable numbers; so that if it is notyet true that “he who runsmay read,” it may at least be said that a patient student of ordinaryindustry and intelligencehas his way made plain before him.
