PW = The Popular Works of Johann Gottlieb Fichte, trans. William Smith. This work went through four editions between 1848 and 1889, though only the first (1848-49) and fourth (1889) were complete, two-volume editions. The original edition was published in London by John Chapman in 1848 (Vol. I) and 1849 (Vol. II). In 1859 Chapman issued a new, revised edition of the second volume of the original edition, though the first volume was not reissued at this time. A third, abriged and revised one-volume edition of selections from the original two-volume edition was published in London in 1873 by Trübner, under the title Johann Gottlieb Fichte's Popular Works. Finally, in 1889 Trübner issued a revised two-volume edition under the original title. (This fourth edition has recently been reprinted by Thoemmes Press. For more details about the reprint, go to this page.)
