Cox III, 99. - Griep/Luber 41. - Tresoldi 49. - Slg. Bellani 113. - Goedeke VI, 280, 1. - Second edition, considerably increased (first edition 1785) one of the most frequently read travelogues in those days. Archenholz knew both countries from longer stays, he compared both countries, particularly in terms of their systems of government and treasured especially England, whereas he was not so fond of Italy. "Archenholz did more than any other man to present a complete picture of England to Germans. His fifteen years of study and travel well qualified him as an observer of different peoples and their manners, and his views of England served Germany for a quarter of a century as their chief source of information." (Cox) - Pagination jumps in vol. V from p. 215 to p. 224, however, the text is complete. - Foxed andbrowned respectively, corners slightly scuffed, else fine and broad-margined copy.
