Lectures on the Philosophy of History [First English Translation] by Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich - 1861

Henry G. Bohn, London, 1861. Hardcover. Fair. Translated from the third German edition by J. Sibree, M.A. An extremely rare volume, part of "Bohn's Philosophical Library." No full English translation of the complete lectures has ever been produced. Sibree's first English translation was finished in 1857 and it is still the only English version which contains not only the Introduction, but the shorter body of the lectures according to Karl Hegel's (Georg Hegel's son) 1840 manuscript. Condition: Externally Fair - embossed front board, gilt title to spine; minimal wear to front cover, mostly wear to corners; back cover corners rubbed and a few spots of soiling; spine cracking and two pieces chipped off head and edge of spine. Internally - Good - publisher's catalog as paste down; pages slightly darkened with age, but mostly very clean; old piece of tape to first free page; hinge cracked and spine starting to separate.
