It is easy to be persuaded that Mr. John Bigelow's edition of 'The Works of Benjamin Franklin' is likely to be the most complete, the most scholarly and acccurate, the 'Federal' edition. Mr. Bigelow was confessedly the foremost authority on Franklin. Beside the material now in print, carefully collated for the present purpose, so far as possible, with the original manuscripts, he has had free use of the supplementary Franklin MSS. purchased by the State Department in 1881, and not published before his work, and the autobiography has been printed for the first time in any collected edition of Franklin's Works, from the original manuscript, which was in Mr. BigeIow's possession. Mr. Bigelow promises upwards of 350 letters and documents which have never appeared in any previous collection, beside a thorough revision of the text throughout, and a new, chronological, arrangement of matter. The notes and other editorial additions are limited strictly to the illustration of the text. This is volume nine out of twelve, covering the years 1781 through 1782.

Eucken lehrt, unter dem Einfluss besonders von Plato und Fichte, einen objektiven Idealismus als Weltanschauung, der aber nicht intellektualistisch ist, sondern auf selbständige, aktive Gestaltung des Lebens gerichtet ist (Aktivismus). Es ist ihm überall um eine Erhöhung des Lebens zu tun, um Gewinnung eines festen Standpunktes, von dem aus das Leben Sinn und Wert erhält, indem es als in einem universalen Geistesleben verankert erscheint, zu dein es sich aktiv im Kampfe gegen alles bloß Naturhafte und Hemmende zu erheben hat. Dies ist seine Autobiographie.

"Von meiner ersten Jugend berichtet meine Mutter, dass ich auf den Klang des Waldhorns mit Lächeln, auf den Ton einer Geige mit heftigem Weinen reagierte." Dies ist die früheste musikalische Erinnerung von Richard Strauss, der, wie kaum ein anderer, durch sechs Jahrzehnte die deutsche und internationale Musik prägen sollte. Im Mittelpunkt dieser sehr persönlichen Lebensbeschreibung stehen die Erinnerungen des Enkels Christian Strauss, der den liebevoll-strengen Großvater und alternden Patriarchen sowie die Lebensumstände der Familie in den dreißiger und vierziger Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts beschreibt. Freunde, Künstler, Kollegen und Briefpartner von Richard Strauss kommen zu Wort und zeichnen das Porträt eines «Genies in Nahaufnahme», das mit Fotomaterial aus dem Familienarchiv ergänzt wird.

Cicero, a Roman statesman, lawyer, political theorist, philosopher, and Roman constitutionalist, played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Even today he has a major influence on Western philosophy, politics and literature. This book contains four of his ethical writings, namely On Moral Duties (De Officiis), On Old Age (De Senectute), On Friendship (De Amicitia) and Scipio's Dream.

The writer of this book desires to say that, in preparing the work, it has been no part of his design to express his individual opinions upon the topics discussed. His purpose has been to suggest the opinions of others, especially of a class of men scarcely recognized as existing in the world. The art they profess, called after the name of Hermes, Hermetic Philosophy, is so little known at the present day that the name of it by no means indicates it. The adepts profess to be, or to have been, in possession of a secret, which they call the gift of God. The art has been prosecuted under many names, among which are Alchemy, Astrology, and even Chiromancy, as well as Geomancy, Magic, &c., under all of which names it has had deluded followers, who have been deceived, as those who claim to be true artists say, not by the art itself, which never « did betray the heart that loved it,» but by their own selfish passions, which play the Asmodeus with so many that the few who escape delusion are mystical, not to say mythical, beings who are supposed to have lived upon dreams.
