Thus, as police commissioner and police council in Gießen, Nover wrote this memoir, in which he describes in detail the "revolutionary drive" of his time. The chapter headings give an impression of the broad content of the official treatise: The revolutionary connections between 1814 and 1833, upheavals in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, The Men's Union, The Young Europe, The German League of Outlaws, The Communist Party, Church and Political Movements, Revolutions in January, February and March 1848, Die Founding of political-revolutionary associations from the spring of 1848, centralization and organization of revolutionary associations, increasing excitement - preparations for the struggle, revolt to Frankfurt a.

At the end, a name register. The last sheet is marked with an official stamp in the white lower margin: "Gr.Hess.Police Administration of the Provincial Capital Giessen". The memorial is in the original lt. Online entry of the "Retrokataloges Hebis" (http://orsprod.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/DB=1.50/PPNSET?PPN=835922332) in the estate Novers in the Frankfurt branch office of the Federal Archives. Apparently, Novers' description became a standard work of the police authorities in the restaurateur period after 1848 so that it was circulated in several copies. In the 1960s, in Frankfurt, a reprint appeared in facsimile with excerpts from the memoir, as Novers' meticulous and well-founded work became a historical source for the reactionary post-1848s. – Cut somewhat flaky, otherwise clean. - Extremely rare historical document of museum character.
