About this Item
First edition, by the distinguished German economist Karl/Carl Friedrich Nebenius (1785-1857). 'German statesman and economist, born at Rhodt, near Landau. In 1819 he took a prominent part in working out the Baden Constitution, and for many years was the principal statesman of the Grand Duchy. In 1833 he was made Privy Councilor of State, and soon afterwards became Minister of the Interior and president of the Cabinet Council. Owing, however, to reactionary influences, he did not keep this position very long. In 1845 he again joined the Cabinet, but the Revolution of 1849 compelled him to resign, and thereafter he devoted himself entirely to literary pursuits. He published, among many treatises on political economy: Bemerkungen über den Zustand Grossbritannicus in staatswirtschaftlicher Hinsicht (1818); Ueber technische Lehranstalten (1833); and wrote a Geschichte der Pfalz, which appeared posthumously' (The New International Encyclopædia).
