[Rarebooks] AN 1849 GERMAN DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

[Norman Kane]

We offer the following pamphlet arising from the German Revolutions of 1848:

[MOMMSEN, Theodor, ed.]   DIE GRUNDRECHTE DES DEUTSCHEN VOLKES. MIT 
BELEHRUNGEN UND ERLAEUTERUNGEN.  ZWEITE UNVERAENDERTE AUFLAGE.    Leipzig: 
Georg Wiegands Verlag, 1849.   (The Basic Rights of the German People . . 
.)  103, [1] pages.  Small octavo, pamphlet, sewn, cover-title, title leaf 
somewhat edge-worn, partly unopened.  (Contains many references to unity 
and freedom.  Mommsen - later a Nobel Prize-winner - edited a liberal 
newspaper during the Revolution of 1848; his participation in the Dresden 
uprising cost him his place.  Rather scarce.)  $125.00
