Barbier III, 333; Ebert 14116. – Atlas volume to Mirabeau's thorough work "De la monarchie prussienne sous Frédéric le Grand" , "that demonstrated the shortcomings of the Prussian State and the necessary reforms with surprising perspicacity" (Meyer's Konversations-Lexikon, 4^th ed., XI, 670) and based on both own intuitions during his stays in Berlin 1785/86 and the material collected by major Mauvillon. – Without the 10 regional maps.

Economical-historically interesting  the 28 statistical overviews arranged after products, partly also countries of receipt + origin of import and export over Königsberg, Memel, Elbing, Kolberg, Stettin, Magdeburg, Emden and (export only) Rostock for the time of 1750-85 as a whole or for shorter periods within this.

Population-political , cameralistic, communal and national knowledge in 13 (of 14?) tables.

The further 19  tables  just as the 93 engraved plates predominantly on military statements.

Table H maybe missing here, too, but neither bound with in a previous copy catalogued here. – Title with stamp + note of donation. – Fly-leaf, titles + 4 pp. decreasingly foxing, 1 table browned, a few backed marginal tears. Namely the backcover slightly rubbed, edges nudged, backleather renewed above of the red title plate. Otherwise fresh copy on strong paper with wide margins.
