With frontispiece, engr. by Weissenhahn, showing a tomb with Sulzer's portrait medaillon, and several woodcut head- and tailpieces. 9 unn. leaves, 256 pp.; 4 unn. leaves, 184 pp. 8vo. Modern vellum with gilt lettering on spine. Munich, J. Lentner, 1786. First edition of this work on eloquence, assembled from J. G. Sulzer's (1720-1776) magnum opus "Allgemeine Theorie der schönen Künste". The editor, the Bavarian canon Albrecht Christoph Kirchmayer (d. 1814) also edited Sulzer's "Theorie der Dichtkunst" (1789); both were intended as systematic text books for students. Of the present work, the first theoretical part is followed by a second part containing letters, some addressed to Gessner, Bodmer, and Gleim, descriptions, stories, and philosophical tracts, as well as a eulogy of Sulzer by Formey. - Slight foxing or browning, otherwise nice. - Kosch XXI, 370.
