Description

Murhard, Friedrich W. A., a Hessian opposition scholar and publicist, mathematician, lawyer, political writer and librarian, together with his brother donated the Murhard Library in Kassel (1778-1853). Eigh. Letter from the U.S. "Friedrich Murhard". 31/3 p., closely described. Double leaf. Gr. 8vo. Kassel 14.VIII.1836. Extensive letter to the Dieterich Bookstore in Göttingen. In detail about his continuation of the Recueil de traités d'alliance, de paix, de trève, de neutralité ... conclus par les puissances de l'Europe depuis 1761 jusqu'à present", i.e. an ongoing series of collections of important international treaties, a valuable source of history that Murhard continued from Volume 10 onwards. First thank you for the fee and free copy of this volume and then continue: "... At the same time it was pleasant for me to hear from you that the pressure of a new band can begin immediately. The materials have accumulated at the multi-annual - one can say five-year - interruption, which suffered the continuation of the recueil, in our moving time in such a way that probably still a few volumes are necessary, in order to come only reasonably with the current years and events of the day in a row. Klüber, who is extremely interested in the continuation of the work and who, as a veteran in diplomacy, is sure to have an important primacy in this respect, writes to me that in their own interest the publishing business should not be sufficiently rathenous, the publication of the volumes for the completion of the remaining gaps in the centralization of the so diverse in recent times to speed up diplomatic negotiations and existing files, so that the work serves not just as an archive for the past, but also as a useful handbook for the present ...". Then discusses the plans for the next volumes and orders from London vintages of a similar series called "British and Foreign State-Papers". - Murhard, a somewhat dazzling figure, besides highly meritorious works also wrote books in which Plagiarism was accused. During his life for political-opposional writings policely persecuted and temporarily concerned with prison, he is now regarded as one of the spiritual pioneers of political and economic liberalism in the premärz. - Very rare.
