The main work of Markus Lutz (1772-1835), it is the precursor of the still consulted "Geographisches Lexikon der Schweiz" (1902-1920). Volumes I-III form the alphabetically arranged encyclopedia, volume IV contains additions and emendations, plus a topographical statistical essay on the Duchy of Savoy. A French edition was published in 1839, and a concluding supplement, not present here, in 1835. - Engelmann 917; Wäber 60; cf. GLS (1902) I, V; Zischka 101. GEOGRAPHY ; HELVETICA: ALLGEMEIN ;
