Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

He was born at Ratzeburg on the 20th of April 1823.
Entering the university of Erlangen in 1843, he soon began to devote his attention to the history of the German language and literature, and in 1848 he went to Munich, where he remained five years and diligently availed himself of the use of the government library for the purpose of prosecuting his historical studies.
With the aid of the manuscript collections in the museum he turned his attention chiefly to political history, and, with Johann H. Muller, established an historical journal under the name of Zeitschrift fur deutsche Kultur geschichte (4 vols. , Nuremberg, 1856-1859). To this journal he contributed a history of German taxation and commerce. On the latter subject he published separately Geschichte des deutschen Handels (2 vols. , Leipzig, 1859 - 1860) and Die Hansa als deutsche See-und Handels- macht (Berlin, 1862). He there began the study of Saxon history, still devoting his attention chiefly to the history of commerce and economy, and published Die Geschichte des Kurfursten August von Sachsen in volks- mrthschaftlicher Beziehung (Leipzig, 1868) and Geschichte des deutschen Zollwesens (Leipzig, 1869). He died at Dresden on the 2nd of March 1876.
