[MEYER, LUDVIG]

Seeland im Sommer 1807 - In vertrauten Briefen an einen Freund in Berlin.

      Von einem Augenzeugen. Nebst dem Grundrisse von Kopenhagen und den Actenstücken. Germanien, 1808. XIV+(2)+224 pages + an extendable map. Contemporary half leather binding, very good. Some overall browning to the pages, but no foxing. Ink on titlepage: »(Prof. Meyer)«. Notes on flyleaf in pencil. Stamp on flyleaf (the book has belonged to the danish writer P.F. Rist). Two bookplates on pastedown. * An anonymously published eyewitness account on the english bombardment of Copenhagen, by the later professor Meyer. The map (38 x 36 cm) is partly handcoloured in red and shows the city of Copenhagen and its surroundings, with markings of the 40 most significant sites. The writer P.F. Rist, who has owned the book, is known for his accounts on the war between Denmark and Germany in 1864.
