Contemporary paper boards with spine label (slightly rubbed, lower spine with traces of a detached label). Goedeke VI, 160, 3, 7; MNE I, pages 105; Ruppert 853. - First edition. - The Swedish diplomat von Brinckmann (1764-1847) first came to Berlin in 1790 and lived there as Swedish legation secretary. His friendly, modest, and at the same time worldly nature brought him into sometimes close contact with the 'literary and philosophical celebrities of the turn of the century' (Killy 2, 216). Goethe received it in February 1798 and also defended its worldly nature against Schiller's cooler judgment. - With a dedication leaf 'to Goethe'. - Title page slightly foxed. Small stamp 'Princely Court Library Donaueschingen' on the verso of the title page.
