First editions of all three titles. A detailed and well informed eighteenth-century debate about the mandate of the city council of Nuremberg to impose or agree an increase in the national debt. At the same time it is a critical assessment of the patrician and 'feudal' structures in city government of the city of Nuremberg. The 'Genannten-Kollegium' existed as a non-elected discussion forum for the city magistrate since the 14th century. It gave representation to the important and substantial class of artisans and craftsmen, but also included the old patrician families of the city. Neither was elected in a popular vote, or even a restricted vote. Georg Paul Forster (1747-1808), a combative Nuremberg merchant, argues for a reform of the Genannten Kollegium and a curtailment of its powers.
