Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Natural vellum over boards. Gold tile on the spine "Bourscheid." Coat of arms in gold on the front cover. Binding good and tight and attractive. Title page has two rubberstamps with coats of arms on them. Both are crossed out. The first is "Bibliothek des K.S. Artillerie-Corps" and the other is Militar-Bibliothek ze Dresden". 426 pages + index. Pages clean. Printed entirely in German. Title is longer than I have managed to transcribe above, but the blackletter font and the German language are more than google-translate and I can work through. 6 large folding maps at the rear including one of the United States as it was in 1782 by Bonne (also showing the west coast and several California towns). Another map seems to show a Northwest Passage above Baffin's Bay over the North American Continent, on a map with heavily distorted proportions. Printed bookplate on the inside front cover with more than 25 lines of blackletter in German, seems to say that it's from the library of a Military Academy. Handwritten notes on inside front cover with shelf and bookcase location of the book. Please email with questions (or answers) or to request photos.…
