In a later sage green cloth-case binding, gilt titled to spine. The German playwright and novelist August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue (1761-1819) worked as a consul in Russia and Germany. One of his books was burned during the Wartburg Festival's gathering of Protestant student activists in 1817. Two years later Kotzebue was assassinated by Karl Ludwig Sand, a militant student member of the Burschenschaften. His murder led Metternich to issue the Carlsbad Decrees, cracking down on the press and restricting academic freedom. In generally good condition with some age-toning and scattered spotting.
