Summary: by far Schopenhauer's worst
Comment: In this book, Schopenhauer attempts to back his system with scientific data from the mid 19th century. Needless to say, much of this book now appears a joke. Schopenhauer spends much time in The World as Will and Representation on the same task, and his discussions of empirical data backing his system are much more intelligent and interesting in his magnum opus. Furthermore, this book is wholly unnecessary for an understanding of Schopenhauer's system if one already has a hold on his other works. This should be the last work of Schopenhauer that one reads.
On the up side, the book contains a long preface where Schopenhauer chastises those who have overlooked his philosophy, as this book marked the dawn of his acceptance especially in England, and blames Hegel for the dumbing down of Germany. Some of the more comical Schopenhauer quotes on Hegel come from this preface. But what is even funnier is thatthe preface is followed by a six page Introduction where Schopenhauer rants on the same topics he did in the preface. Now that I think about how funny this was, I would definitely buy this book just for the preface and introduction.
