The note discusses the "bequem" format of the 8 volume binding of the book; it is signed: E. v. Uechtritz. Inspector of precious stones Hoffmann studied at the Freiberg Bergakademie under A.G. Werner ". the great oracle of the sciences of the earth" Hoover catalog quoting Cuvier. "Very scarce" Schuh. This work is one of the greatest encyclopedias of Werner's mineral theories ever published. It was the only authorized publication of Werner's mineral system. It was begun by Hoffmann who died after the first two volumes were published and continued by August Breithaupt who completed the third and fourth volumes. In this monumental treatise the Wernerian doctrine of mineralogy is propounded in its most detailed presentation. The authors accept all of Werner's theories concerning mineral formation and classification and include numerous illustrative examples. The text is generous in its treatment of the subject sometimes devoting long detailed sections to minute points. Werner did not publish much on his theories but his students and followers insured that his ideas would reach a larger audience by their own works following his guidelines. The first volume provides a short history of mineralogy definitions descriptions of physical properties including color optics streak hardness specific weight transparency luster and crystal form chemical characteristics the use of the blow-pipe nomenclature and a synopsis of the classification system. Later volumes contain essentially a descriptive mineralogy; all that was known was included in the descriptions.

1803réf. 10056Konigsberg: Goebbels und Unzer 1803. First Edition. Contemporary paper backed boards and label. Very good; spine label partially abraded. 8vo xvi 1 - 232 pp. Statesman statistician and economist the author had an eminent career in public policy making and teaching. He was for a time the principal advisor to Hardenberg and present at Paris for the peace conference in 1813 as well as the Congress of Vienna. He was also responsible for the complete overhaul and modernization of the Prussian satistical bureau beginning in 1810. He was the author of several books on statistics as well as economics and law. The work offered here is his first publication. It is a detailed exposition of how the social and commercial maintenance of the guild system is an obstacle to the economic progress of the state and its populace. Given the author's proximity to the center of Prussian power and government it can be read as a 'map' for the future development of the German state under Prussian leadership after unification.
