First and only edition of this rarely found aesthetic by the philosopher, philologist and later bishop of Speyer, Johann Peter Richarz (1781-1855). Richarz is clearly well-read and discusses the idea of beauty as found in English writers such as Home, Locke, and Burke before concentrating on Kant's aesthetics. He concludes with an assessment of beauty in poetry and its prerequisites, such as order, harmony, rhythm, etc. Richarz had been professor of rhetoric and poetics at Würzburg university, and head of the university library before following a church career.
