LFB Catalogue 1787

Notes: Attribution - known STN edition. The STN published editions of both the 'Cours abrégé de géographie historique' and the 'Cours abrégé de géographie élémentaire' in 1770 (when they printed both a combined edition under the title 'Cours abrégé de géographie historique' and a stand alone edition of the 'Géographie élémentaire'), in 1774, in 1782, in 1783 and in 1789. They also published an edition of the 'Cours abrégé de géographie élémentaire' in 1788. On some occasions they bundled the 'Géographie élémentaire' with the 'Géographie historique'. Where just 'geographie' is recorded in the manuscripts, it referred, according to the STN's standard practice, either to the 1770 combined edition (which appears under the superbook title 'Géographie par Ostervald', or to a bundled set of both works, in which case a sale has been recorded under the separate superbook 'Géographie élémentaire' and 'Géographie historique.' Fauche-Borel Catalogue (1787) also mentions a 'Lausanne, 1781' edition.

Author(s): Ostervald, Frédéric-Samuel
Language(s): French
Publication: Neuchâtel: Société Typographique de Neuchâtel, 1770
Details: 1 volume, pages: 96

Notes: Attribution - known STN edition published simultaneously as a stand alone edition with a print-run of 1,500 and an edition contained within the 'Cours abrégé de géographie historique, ancienne & moderne, et de sphère: par demandes et réponses. Troisième édition', of which it occupied the first 96 pages of volume 1, and (for its table) the last 2 pages of volume 2. NB. The combined edition is recorded under the superbook '[Géographie par Ostervald]'.

Full title: Géographie élémentaire. Cinquième édition
Edition type (by origin): Livres en Société: STN joint editions

Author(s): Ostervald, Frédéric-Samuel
Language(s): French
Publication: Neuchâtel: Société Typographique de Neuchâtel, 1782-1783 [1782]
Details: 1 volume, in-12°, pages: 108

Notes: Attribution - known STN edition. Sales and stocktake data suggests a limited printing in early 1782 and much larger one at the end of the year, presumably the 1783 edition. Schmidt, 'Liste des impressions' annexe records a 1782 edition that has not been located, whereas a 1783 edition is extant. Both editions are described as the 5th edition, so they are treated as one edition with (apparently) two printings here. BPUN copy of 1783 edition is bundled with the 'Cours abrégé de géographie historique', 5th edition, 1783.

Edition type (by origin): Livres en Société: STN joint editions

Author(s): Ostervald, Frédéric-Samuel
Language(s): French
Publication: Neuchâtel: Société Typographique de Neuchâtel, 1788
Details: 1 volume, in-12°, pages: 108

Notes: Attribution - known STN edition. May be fifth (1782/3) edition with new title-page as both are 108 pages in-12°, suggesting the claimed authorial corrections were few if any.
