Of the French works, from the Kantian standpoint, may be quoted (Ahrens, i. 326):—
M. Bussart, Elements de droit naturel privé. Fribourg en Suisse, 1836.
V. Belime, Philosophie du droit. Paris, 1844, 4 ed. 1881.
In Italy, where the Philosophy of Law has been cultivated 'with great zeal and intelligence' (Ahrens, i. 327; Röder, Krit. Zeitschrift für Rechtswiss. xv. 1, 2, 3), the Kantian system has been ably discussed by Mancini, Mamiani, Rosmini, Poli, and others. Its chief representatives have been—
Baroli, Diritto naturale privato e publico, 6 vol. Cremona, 1837.
Tolomei, Corso elementare di diritto naturale, 2 ed. Padova, 1855.
Soria di Crispan, Filosofia di diritto publico. (Philosophie du droit public. Brux. 1853-4.) Transl. into French.
Rosmini-Serbati, Filosofia del diritto, 1841. (In part Kantian.)
[Since writing the foregoing Preface there has come to hand the important work, 'La Vita del Diritto, nei suoi rapporti colla Vita Sociale: Studio comparativo di Filosofia Giuridica. Per Giusseppe Carle, Professore ordinario di Filosofia de Diritto nella R. Universita di Torino.' Its comprehensive method and profound insight add to the already ample evidence of the 'great zeal and intelligence' with which the Philosophy of Law is now being cultivated by the countrymen of Vico, the natural successors of Antistius Labeo, and Papinian. Professor Carle points out the relation of Kant not only to Rosmini, but also to Mamiani and others. His view of the importance and influence of the Kantian System is in accord with the brief indications ventured in these Prefatory hints. It is impossible to quote his exposition here, but attention may be directed to P. ii. L. i. Cap. ii. § 3, 'Emmanuele Kant come iniziatore del metodo rationale nello studio del diritto naturale;' and L. ii. Cap. v. 'Ulteriore svolgimento,' etc.—Tr.]
Notes
1. It appeared soon after Michaelmas 1796, but with the year 1797 on the title-page. This has given rise to some confusion regarding the date of the first Edition, which is now usually quoted as 1796-7. (Schubert, Kant's Werke, Bd. ix. viii., and Biographie, p. 145.)

4. These Supplementary Explanations were appended by Kant to the First Part of the work, to which most of their detail more directly apply; but they are more conveniently appended in this translation to the whole work, an arrangement which has also been adopted by the other Translators.

He ceased lecturing in 1797; and the only works of any importance published by himself subsequent to the Rechtslehre, were the Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Tugendlehre in 1797, and Der Streit der Facultäten and the Anthropologie in 1798. The Logik was edited by Jäsche in 1800; the Physische Geographie by Rink in 1802, and the Pädagogik, also by Rink, in 1803, the year before Kant's death.
