Beschreibung:

De Quincey (Thomas, essayist, 1785-1859) What is Theory?, autograph manuscript draft, 2pp., some ink stains, central fold, slightly browned, tipped-in on left margin, modern boards, leaf 222 x 178mm., n.d., [1823 or early 1824]. ⁂ A draft manuscript in which De Quincey compares Wordsworth and Coleridge with Kant. De Quincey's proposes a correction to Kant's essay, On the Common Expression: that may be True in Theory, but is useless in Practice, 1793. "...Kant wrote an essay on this very subject: and ought to help us at this moment But he does not... He has no power of xplaining his own meaning, or of understanding another man's objection. In this picture of his mind he resembled Messrs Wordsworth and C. who carried the same... to excess. Not one of the 3 ever apprehended any man's objection...". Provenance: Royal Institution of Cornwall MS Enys 396; Bonhams. The Enys Collection of Autograph Manuscripts, 28th September 2004.
