Gota Kanal With Two Maps
Geschichte der Schiffbarmachung der G�tha Elf und vorz�glich der F�lle bei Trollh�tta bis 1802. History of the Navigability of the G�ta �lv River Particularily in the Area of the Trollh�tta Falls until 1802.
Weimar: Industrie-Comptoirs 1805. 8vo. Text is in German. This is a complete monthly issue containing the above mentioned account and two other of the same subjectlus 2 fold-out maps for illustration. Maps measure approximately 20cm x 16.5cm and 11.5cm x 23cm respectively. A scarce primary resource with 21 pages pertaining to the Gota River Canal attractively bound booklet style in recent blue paper covers with label. This issue contains speculation on the navigatability of the G�ta �lv river contemporay to the work of Baltzar von Platen on opening a canal. Reveals proposals and potential for commerce highlighting the area of Trollhatta and accompanied by two scarce maps one showing the canal route from G�teborg to V�nersborg on Lake V�nernone and the other of featuring the section of the Gota between Trollhatta and Lake V�nernone. Further includes two separate commentaries on the following contemporary books on the same then popular subject: "Trollh�tte Canalfartens Historia" by P.A. Granberg and "Description des cataractes et du canal de Trollh�tta en Su�de; avec un pr�cis historique" by A. F. Skj�ldebrand. These are the original pages and maps printed in 1805 and NOT a reprint. This narrative is from a rare multi-volume geographical and scientific journal titled "Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden" which issued fifty volumes from 1798-1816 and which encompassed critical contemporary topics of geography and astronomy. Adam Christian Gaspari and Franz Xaver von Zach were editors of this important scientific journal. . Industrie-Comptoirs unknown

Auch das Reichenberger archiv verdankt ihm eine Sammlung wertvollster Unterlagen, die er durch sein Ansehen in einem groBen BekanntenKreis und durch einen jahrelangen, umfangreichen Briefwechsel gewinnen konnte.
