PRESENTATION COPY WITH LETTER. Rare first and only edition of a speech by the philosopher Johann Nicolaus Tetens on the occasion of the marriage of the Herzogin Sophia Frederica of Mecklenburg to Prince Friedrich of Denmark at Bützow, where Tetens was a professor at the time. WorldCat locates a single copy at NLS. Tetens (1736-1807), sometimes called 'the German Locke', also had a great influence on Immanuel Kant. 'Tetens discused with great insight many other extremely complicated problems in metaphyscis, ethics, the philosophy of education, and the philosophy of language. His "Philosophische Versuche" exerted a tremendous influence on Kant while he was writing the "Critique of Pure Reason", and the many similarities between their doctrines are evident. Tetens' doctrines may be compared to Kant's even in their speculative power and importance' (Encyclopedia of Philosophy). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 4to, 23 pp., contemporary gilded boards, slightly rubbed and marked, all edges gilt, early library stamp on the title verso, a fine copy with wide margins on heavy paper, with a two-page letter from Tetens to Sophia Frederica dated 26 October 1774 inserted loose.
