The work contains 6 chapters by Karl Kegel and 12 by Seufert von Tenecker, and 3 early lithographed plates. It was first published in 1817 and was apparently very popular as the present edition contains a 6-page list of subscribers. It was followed by several other editions.
A stain in the last folding plate and some smudges on the binding. Good copy. Not in Mennessier de la Lance; Nissen, ZBI; Podeschi.
