Dreams of a Spirit-Seer - Illustrated by Dreams of Metaphysics

Book excerpt: TRANSLATORS NOTE, The difficulties which Kants style presents to the translator into English need not be dwelt upon wjth tkosc who are familiar with his works. My main endeavour has been to produce a readable translation. I have, therefore, laid stress on the faithful and lucid representation of the authors thought, while the preservation of the periodic constructions of the original was of secondary interest, I am, however, conscious that it have not in dl places succeeded in sailing with even keel between the extremes of strictly literal translation and paraphrase.
