I've always found that 'analysis' more oblique and inscrutable than the text itself. I have no idea who thought it was a helpful addition to the book

It wasn't helpful, but at that time this was the standard way of talking about PoS and Findlay was considered to be an expert on Hegel within the context of the history of philosophy.

His work on the critique of pure reason and the hermeneutics of the transcendental object though is a must read. It paved the road for some of Sellars's points re Kant and the question of the transcendental.
