About this Item

Early 20th-century marbled boards, somewhat worn, with black label and red sprinkled edges (Hedberg, Stockholm, although unsigned). Spine somewhat faded. Textblock with a couple of old repairs, stain from a crushed insect in the outer margin on p. 35 in the first and a few soil stains on the last leaves in the second work. Some old press cuttings bound in at end. Label from the Stockholm Book Auction House on front pastedown. A good copy.Almquist Sveriges bibliografiska litteratur 1371-72. Warmholtz Bibliotheca historica Sueo-Gothica 8979-80. First work with a foreword by J. C. Dähnert. Erichson's work is an enlarged and improved version of an article in "Hamburgische Nachrichten" 1763. Nettelbla is highly critical of Erichson's work, but according to Warmholtz his critique is so infested with vanity and spite that for the most part his arguments are of little significance. The press cuttings partly concern Erichson's answers, partly his death and are taken from some of the Swedish 18th-century publicist C. C. Gjörwell's learned journals. Seller Inventory # 48627A
