Gaudy, Franz Frhr von, Prussian. Officer, poet and novelist, friends with Chamisso and many other writers (1800-1840). Letter m. U. "Fr. Gaudy. 12/3 p. Double sheet with address and seal remains. Gr. 8vo. Schoenborn near Züllichau 2.IX.1835. To his publisher Flemming in Glogau. Extensive about two of his works: the printing of his translation of the book by G. Wace: "Roman of Rollo and of the Dukes of Normandy" and about his book "My Roman Train". Sends a "record of the printing errors found in the blind, and leave it to you, although some quite disturbing and disgusting among them, whether you want to display the same or not; in the first case I probably get the 12 sheets to be able to add them to my copies. In general, however, I can't help but be very satisfied with the accuracy of the setter, because I had feared far worse miskepts ... My local presence extends to the 1st Oct., then I return to Berlin, and every attribution will be delivered to me by Duncker & Humblot. If a significant criticism of the Rollo comes to your attention, for example the Menzelsche, then I can count on you to help me with the same. - The discussed Mspt 'Mein Römerzug' (My Roman Train) will now be far more important than I recently intended, and should not bear any way the character of the sketch intended for him. Of course, I can't finish it in as short a time as I thought ... Before writing letters, visiting relatives, telling, I can't yet come to work, and I enjoy that, because my plans grow over my head ..." - The three-part, extensive book 'My Roman Train. Pen drawings' appeared the following year at Enslin in Berlin. - Folding cracks, partly old restored. - Including a short, probably self-handed, fleetingly written letter Gaudy's (1 p. double sheet with address. 4to. Probably Berlin, after 1833), signed only with "gd", to the book dealer Reimer in Berlin. - Letters of the interesting author, from whose short, adventurous lives alone 12 duels are reported, occur very rarely.
