Weimar: Industrie-Comptoirs, 1805. 8vo. 6 pages. Text is in German. This is a complete monthly issue, containing the above mentioned account. Attractively bound booklet style in recent blue paper covers with label. This issue contains a chronology of the dramatically fluctuating population of historic Finland, toward the end of the Swedish era. Includes tallies from the tragic famine of 1696-1697, on Russian occupation known by the Finns as the 'Greater Wrath' and the Treaty of Nystad signed in 1721. At the time of this publication, Finland was the predominant term for the entire region from the Gulf of Bothnia to the Russian border. These are the original pages printed in 1805, and NOT a reprint. This narrative is from a rare multi-volume geographical and scientific journal titled "Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden", which issued fifty volumes from 1798-1816 and which encompassed critical contemporary topics of geography and astronomy. Adam Christian Gaspari and Franz Xaver von Zach were editors of this important scientific journal. .
