for the year 1786 (And: 1787, 1788). A journal. 3 vols. in 1 vol. "Schwaben, Frankfurt und Leipzig" (correct Esslingen), in Comission bei den Schwäbischen Buchhandlungen 1786-87 bzw. Stgt., Elben 1788. cl.4°. Hardcover (stock). Not in Kirchner and Diesch, rare. - Elben took over the newspaper privilege from the Stuttgart printers, the Mäntler brothers, and published the first number of the "Schwäbischer Merkur" on October 3, 1785. As the rights were only registered until 1787 and Elben feared that the privilege would not be renewed, he founded the "Schwäbische Chronick" for local news in the neighboring free imperial city of Esslingen in 1786. On January 3, 1787, Duke Karl Eugen approved the renewal on the condition that the "Merkur" was printed in the Academy's print shop, which was very close to his heart. Elben was thus able to unite the two papers and the "Chronick" appeared from that time on as a weekly supplement to the "Merkur" (cf. O. Elben, Geschichte des Schwäbischen Merkurs 1785-1885, pp. 12-14). - Bookplate. - ╔In the process:╗ Casselische Policey- und Commercien-Zeitung. Jgge. 1759 and 1760 in 1 vol. Kassel 1759-60.

We have here the first five published between 1786 and 1788, containing French as well as Greek and Latin pieces. The first volume is headed by Réflexions sur le conte by Dorat. There are also three unsigned frontispieces, the first of which is printed in red. These first five volumes are joined by two others in the same series, respectively entitled Les Folies sentimentales, ou l'égarement de l'esprit par le cœur, Recueil d'Anecdotes nouvelles, and Nouvelles folies sentimentales, ou folies par amour; précédées De la Folie par haine, avec la Bague d'Hébé, Conte érotique; pour faire suite à la Bibliothèque choisie de Contes, both dated 1786 by Royer. EXEMPLES ON VELIN PAPER IN IN-8 FORMAT, the current edition being in-18 format. Very fine set, uniformly bound in contemporary morocco. Spines very slightly faded. Small light spotting on top of frontispiece of volumes 2 and 3. The last two volumes were volumes XII and XIII; the numbers have been partly erased to leave only I and II.
