Leder. Condition: Gut. Klein-Oktav, 17 x 10 x 15 cm. Zusammen über 1600 Seiten. Leder der Zeit mit Vergoldung. Sprache: Englisch, (etwas berieben und bestoßen, Kapitale mit kleinen Fehlstellen, Innengelenke vereinzelt angeplatzt, wenige Eselsohren, ganz dezente Feuchtigkeitsspuren, im Ganzen: ordentlich erhalten). Die dritte Auflage der englischen Übersetzung. Das französische Original erschien 1734 unter dem Titel: "Lettres et Memoires du Baron de Pollnitz Contenant Les Observations Qu'il a Faites dans Ses Voyages.". Eine deutsche Ausgabe erschien zuerst 1735 mit dem Titel: "Nachrichten des Baron Carl Ludwig von Pöllnitz; Enthaltend, was derselbe auf seinen Reisen besonders angemerkt,.". - "Karl Ludwig Wilhelm Freiherr von Pöllnitz, auch Charles Louis Baron de Pöllnitz, kurz auch Carl Ludwig Wilhelm von Poellnitz (geboren 25. Februar 1692 in Issum, bei Geldern; gestorben 23. Juni 1775 in Berlin), war ein preußischer Abenteurer, Schriftsteller und vor allem - seit 1740 fast ausschließlich - Höfling bei Friedrich II. von Preußen. (.) Ab 1730 machte er seine (sehr unzuverlässigen) Memoiren in Amsterdam zu Geld (gedruckt in Lüttich 1734), die im Grunde Reiseberichte von den Städten Europas sind und damals einen ähnlichen Erfolg wie der Baedeker hatten. Es folgte 1732 ein Buch über den Hof in Hannover oder genauer über die Prinzessin von Ahlden, worin er die Königsmarckaffaire aufwärmte, gestützt auf so zweifelhafte Quellen wie die Romane Anton Ulrichs von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel. Das Buch war trotzdem in England ein großer Erfolg, wo man gerne mehr von den 'Leichen im Keller' von Georg I. erfuhr. Sein insgesamt größter Erfolg war 'La Saxe Galante' von 1734 über die Liebschaften von August dem Starken. Weiterhin verfasste er Reiseberichte von modischen Badeorten (und Zentren des Glücksspiels) wie Spa und Aix (Aachen). 1737 folgte die Fortsetzung seiner Memoiren, diesmal mit der Schilderung des Berliner Hofes in der Zeit von 1688 bis 1710. 1735 kehrte er über Wien nach Berlin zurück und fand, nachdem er wieder protestantisch geworden war, Anstellung beim Soldatenkönig, spionierte aber gleichzeitig für Wien und Dresden. Er wurde Mitglied des Tabakskollegiums und Kammerherr. In dieser Position übernahm ihn auch Friedrich II., der ihn als amüsante Plaudertasche schätzte."
