Dedikation med blæk på verso af titelbladet, som er smittet lidt igennem papiret. Uopskåret eksemplar. * Bertelsen 26. Førsteudgave. Sjælden med det originale omslag bevaret og i uopskåret stand.** Med dedikation fra Blicher: 'Carl Ploug/ med højagtelse og Broderskab fra S.S. Blicher'. Forfatterkollegaen og journalisten Carl Ploug [1813-94] var nationalliberal og skandinavist, hvilket jo gik fint i spænd med Blicher og med bogens svenske emne. Men Ploug har tilsyneladende ikke gidet at læse den ældre kollegas bog, da siderne ikke er skåret op. Blicher blev aldrig rigtigt accepteret i det litterære establishment i København.

Mezzotint efter forlæg af C.W. Eckersberg. København, c. 1807-1808. Lysmål: 28,5 x 22 cm, plademål: 37 x 24,5 cm. Med brede margener. Med smuk og meget dramatisk samtidig farvelægning. I smuk forgyldt senempire-ramme. * Det væsentligste af de mange fortællende stik, der blev udsendt i kølvandet på Københavns bombardement. Eckersberg har indfanget den gru og undergangsrædsel, der prægede de tætbefolkede kvarterer langs Nørrevold. Englænderne sigtede efter byens kirkespir, især det 115 meter høje barokspir på Vor Frue Kirke. Da en raket på den tredje bombardementsnat kilede sig fast nær toppen af spiret, var kirken og Latinerkvarteret dødsdømt. Centralt i billedet lyser det brændende spir op som en fakkel over skræmte borgere og brandfolk.

Meget sjælden. En hovedkilde til den danske slavehandels historie. Ludewig Ferdinand Rømer (1714-76) stammede fra Nordtyskland og skabte sig en indbringende karriere ved den lille danske handelsstation på Guldkysten (i det nuværende Ghana). Rømer skriver ganske ligefremt og oplysende om, hvad der foregår på den første station i den atlantiske trekanthandel. Bogen er forsynet med et langt forord af biskop Erik Pontoppidan (1698-1764), hvori det hævdes, at handel med og slavegørelse af afrikanere ikke er uforeneligt med kristendommen. Rømers bog er en helt afgørende kilde til Thorkild Hansens Slavernes Kyst.
