Volney C., "Bemerkungen uber den jetzigen Turkenkrieg", Amsterdam, 1788. First edition in German published simultaneously with the original in French. 8vo, (23x15cm), pp.132. Complete with the folding map of Greece and the Levant entitled: "Carte relative au partage eventuel de la Turquie". Modern binding. Uncut copy with large margins. Light browning in the text, otherwise a good copy. Volney strongly supported Russia and looked towards the fragmentation of the Ottoman Empire. This point of view is depicted in the included map which shows the possible new national boundaries in the Levant. Published in the middle of the Russian-Turkish war, both the French & German editions, were probably supported by the Russians in order to prepare the European decisions centres for a common-agreed death and sharing of the Ottoman Empire. The German edition is rarest than the French, as the print run was obviously smaller. Atabey 1304, Blackmer 1749.
