This work contains a collection of letters and other documents which refer to the life and works of the Berlin jurist Eduard Gans (1797–1839). Due to the events he experienced during his lifetime, he is still of interest today: He was a champion of Jewish emancipation in Prussia, was an adversary of Savigny and a friend of Heine and Hegel, he paved the way for the Young Hegelians and struggled unswervingly against the arbitrariness of the authorities in the pre-March era in Germany. The letters provide a clear picture of one of the most interesting and most militant German jurists of the 19th century.
