same time he accepts the power of ideas, heightened emotional states, and scientific aides such as cryptography etc. He describes some fifty supernatural events under titles such as 'Der Stiefel, der zum Kamin hinausflog', 'Der Zauberknödel', 'Das Gespenst, Erscheinung des Geists des Rousseau, covering love potions, charlatans, the transformation into gold etc, and then proceeds to explain them. The illustrations, though unsigned, are particularly fine and appealing, the frontispiece shows a witch in action, the title page vignette illustrates the magic dumpling, whereas the two following images show a witches convention and a dance on Blocksberg. The jurist Eckartshausen (1752-1803), author of semi-scientific works using arithmology, influenced Jung- Stilling and Novalis in his attempt to merge science and literature, and published numerous esoteric works, in addition to this one. A second edition was published in 1798.

First edition of all five works, the work on tobacco is the first edition in German (first published in Dutch 1770. A fascinating economic Sammelband, containing two very rare
contributions on double-entry book-keeping, Büsch's very uncommon work on the sugar manufacturs in Hamburg, a rare work on tobacco, its manufacture and trade, and finally a well-argued political treatise on the independence of the judiciary. I and II. Both Hänel and Simon are important early exponents of German writings on double-entry book-keeping. They are both exceptional in that they are very practice orientated, and aim to be useful for the 'ordinary' business man. Hänel also describes the importance of diplomatic relations for trading purposes, and discusses general commercial contracts and exchanges. Both give extensive examples of the different account books and their function, and most importantly stress the importance of doubleentry book-keeping for the easy access to business figures. 3. First edition of Büsch's interesting contribution on Hamburg's dominance of the sugar industry, anticipating the location theory of economic activity, which was properly developed towards the end of the nineteenth century. He points out the natural location of a branch of business or manufacturing and rejects attempts of government, in this case Frederick the Great in artificially regulating this, through protective tariffs and subsidies. Büsch (1728-1800) was according to Roscher the best representative of the liberal tendencies among the German economists of the second half of the eighteenth century, and one of the 'leading precursors of German economic science' (ESS). He was director of the Hamburg Commercial Academy and published a number of extensive works on banking, currency, commerce and trade, all based on practical experience at the Hamburg Bourse. 'As an economist Büsch was significant especially for his opposition to eighteenth century mercantilism and his advocacy of a more liberal economic policy. He favoured a limited system of free trade and declared that an international division of labour would improve the material welfare of mankind more quickly than the most flourishing economic development under conditions of national isolation. Accordingly he opposed the artificial stimulation of domestic industries but supported an educational protective tariff, thus anticipating Friedrich List in this as at many other points…Having coined the German term for carrying trade (Zwischenhandel) he was one of the first to appreciate the true importance of this branch of economic activity. In internal affairs he stood for unrestricted competition in trade, freedom of industrial occupation and modernization of the agrarian regime by gradual reform' (Zielenziger, ESS III, 80). IV. Rare first German translation of an equally rare two part treatise on tobacco, first published in Dutch in 1770 under the title Verhandeling van den Tabak and Verhandeling over den Tabak, Tweed stukje. The anonymous author gives a thorough overview of the benificial qualities of tobacco in all its forms, and describes the whole process of growing, harvesting, drying, processing, storing and selling of tobacco. He is particularly keen on stressing the health benefits of tobacco, underlined by some catchy rhymes and poems. V. A detailed and well-argued case against the dismissal of civil servants and especially judges and other judicial officials. The anonymous author supports his arguments with a wide range of relevant citations. All five works very rare, none of them are in Kress or Goldsmiths'; I. not found in RLIN/OCLC; II. RLIN/OCLC locate copies at Berkeley and NEHA; III. not found in RLIN/OCLC; IV. RLIN/OCLC locate copies at Columbia and the National Library of Medicine; V. no found in RLIN/OCLC.
