This double administration ended i 1713 when the full duchy came under Danish rule again. The law continued to function even after Schleswig was conquered by Prussia in 1864 and was finally abolished as of January 1st 1900. This version was first published in 1593.

Bindet temmelig slidt. Lidt gulnet i kanterne. * Meget sjælden. ** Eckersberg lagde megen vægt på at lære sine elever ved Kunstakademiet perspektivets elementære principper. Med denne korte afhandling indskrev Eckersberg sig i en lang tradition, skabt af fremtrædende kunstnere, der hver især har fremlagt deres kunstsyn i teoretiske skrifter. (..) Eckersbergs ærinde er først og fremmest at opstille lovmæssigheder for billedkonstruktion, men som den eneste gang i sit liv benytter han også lejligheden til at gøre rede for sit kunstsyn skriftligt (P.M. Hornung & Kasper Monrad: Eckersberg (2005), p. 370. At Eckersberg havde held med sin pædagogik kan bl.a. ses hos eleven Christen Købke, hvis hele komposition i det berømte billede Parti af Østerbro i Morgenbelysning (1836) er hentet direkte fra planche IV i Eckersbergs værk. *** Eckersberg har formentlig selv raderet bogens illustrationer. **** Very scarce work on perspective by one of the greatest Danish artists of the Golden Age of the 19th century. The plates were most likely engraved and printed by Eckersberg himself.
