Soft cover. Condition: VG. 22pp extract, salvaged from a damaged issue of North American Review, Volume XII, No. 31, April, 1821. A somewhat contemporary review in English of the very scarce or rare titles, the first of which was published by G. C. Keil, Magdeburg, 1806. Referencing the second title, the editor notes, "The second work at the head of the article contains an account of a rapid pedestrian excursion to the Harz, written in a hasty manner, apparently with no other object than the gratification of the friends of the travellers. As it has never been published, we shall devote the rest of this article to some copious extracts from it." The text includes an account of Andreasberg and the mines, an account of the path from Andreasberg to the Brocken, or summit of the Harz Mountains, a description of the Brocken, a description of Quedlinberg, a passage on the popular superstitions which prevail in the mountains, and a description of Goslar and a descent into the copper mines. Housed in protective mylar report cover.
