H177Leipzig in der Weygandschen Buchhandlung 12. St¸ck. Dezember 1784 S. 532-534. Neuerer marmorierter Pappband im Stil der Zeit mit goldgepr‰gtem R¸ckenschild. Text teils etwas stockfleckig und gebr‰unt Titel angestaubt und mit Feuchtrand in der unteren Ecke. "Im Monthly Review for June 1784 wird die neue mit ausnehmender Pracht gedruckte mit vielen Karten und Kupfern gezierte Beschreibung der letztern in den Jahren 1776-1780 von den Kapitainen Cook Clerke und Gore um die Welt gethanen Reise angezeigt ihr Preis zu 4 Pf. 14 Sch. St. angegeben und dabei bemerkt dafl am dritten Tage nach der Erscheinung dieses Werks kein einziges Exemplar von demselben mehr in den Buchl‰den zu finden gewesen und wie der Rezensent gewifl wisse sechs sieben acht sogar zehn Guinees daf¸r geboten sei. Diese Reisebeschreibung ist allerdings ein sehr interessantes Werk f¸r Engl‰nder; genau genommen w‰re es solches aber doch nur f¸r einzelne Klassen n‰mlich diejenigen welche Schiffarth Naturgeschichte Erd- und Menschen kunde intereflirt. Dieser ausserordentliche Absaz beweiflt indefl dafl es unter den Reichen und Wohlhabenden Viele gibt welche Vergn¸gen daran finden durch diese Art Kentnisse sich zu unterrichten und denen dies Vergn¸gen f¸r einen gewifl auch vielen Britten theuren Preis nicht zu kostbar ist! Die Auflage dieses Werks ist wenigstens 2000 Exemplare gewesen; es sind also durch ein einziges Buch binnen drei Tagen ¸ber 50000 Thaler in Umlauf gekommen. "Ich will annehmen dafl Deutschland sechsmal weniger Geld als England habe ein Thaler uns so viel als dem Britten ein Pfund sei und frage: l‰flt sich bei uns ein Werk von so allgemeinem Interesse denken es sei in welchem Fache es wolle dessen Preis aber zwischen 4 und 5 Thaler w‰re von dem in drei Tagen 2000 Exemplare abgesezt werden kˆnten - Ich glaube kein Kenner unsers lesenden Publikums wird diese Frage mit Ja zu beantworten wagen. Mˆgen immer die Ersten unsrer Nazion sich vereinen ein Werk vom allgemeinanziehendsten Inhalt hervorzubringen dessen Preis aber der bemerkte ist man wird es lesen loben rezensiren kritisiren und Alles in der Welt damit anfangen - nur nicht so kaufen dafl von 2000 Exemplaren nicht nach dreiflig Tagen noch eine ganz ansehnliche Menge zu haben sein solte. Die meisten Bewunderer des Meisterst¸cks werden sich begn¸gen es von den wenigen Besizern zu leihen oder einen schmuzigen Nachdruck mit filzig verhudelten Kupfern zu erwarten. - Was macht diesen Unterschied - Nicht unsere Armut denn der Fall ist schon darnach adaptirt. Wir sind in der That nicht wie ich angenommen sechsmal ‰rmer als die Britten und dann um den Calcul recht zu machen darf man auch nicht vergessen dafl Wir 30 und die drei brittischen Reiche nur 11 Millionen Menschen haben dafl also unter uns auch dreimal mehr Freunde der Musen sein m¸flten wenn wir gleich sein wollen. - Die einzige wahre Ursache also ist: Unser weniges Interesse f¸r Wissenschaften und Litteratur - unsere K‰lte und Stumpfheit f¸r alles Grosse und Edle - unsere - bei allem Preisen von Aufkl‰rung - Barbarei! Und hiebei ist wol zu merken dafl bei weitem die grˆssere Aufkl‰rung und Litteraturliebe unter dem sogenanten Mittelstande den verh‰ltniflm‰flig Aermern sich finde. Gerade unter unfern Reichen und Grossen eben die Klasse welche in England so gelehrt und hell ist stecken die Leute welche in behaglicher stolzdummer Ruhe von Wissenschaften gar nichts wissen und erst wenn ihnen die Luftb‰lle ¸ber die Kˆpfe schwirren erfahren dafl es eine Physik gibt; und eben unter ihnen sind auch jene Meisten welche die herrlichsten Produkte des menschlichen Geistes nur lesen wenn sie ihnen geliehen oder im Nachdruck um einige Kreuzer zu haben sind. Noch neulich hˆrte ich in einem Buchladen wie ein deutscher Regent die ganze Folge der Karlsruher Nachdr¸cke bestellte - wegen ihres wohlfeilen Preises. Denn Ihro Durchlaucht gebrauchten ihr Geld besser als dafl Sie f¸r die Originaledizionen es wegwerfen solten! unknown
