Tableau de la mer Baltique, considérée sous les rapports physiques, géographiques, historiques et commerciaux, avec une carte, et des notices détaillées sur le mouvement général du commerce, sur les ports les plus importans, sur les monnaies, poids et mesures

First edition illustrated with a large folding map bound at the rear of the first volume and 3 folding tables in the second volume (cf. Kress 5962. Goldsmiths B.20411. INED 1006. Not in Einaudi.)

Contemporary Bradel bindings in full yellow paper boards, smooth spines slightly darkened and decorated with fillets, minor rubbing to the spines, olive morocco lettering-pieces, volume numbers stamped within gilt shields, a few rubbed areas with slight losses to the paper boards, bookplates pasted onto the endpapers, contemporary bindings.

An important work from the geographical, economic, and statistical points of view alike. INED particularly notes, in volume II, the "sixth and seventh sections, concerning the origins of trade in the Baltic, its expansion under the direction of the Hanseatic League, its development in modern times, and its influence upon the manners, customs, and general civilisation of the northern peoples".

A few occasional spots of foxing.
