Small damage at head and slight wear at bottom of spine. Some foxing in the beginning and towards the end of insert. Several old ink markings in the margins. Final leaf with faint dampstain. Note appendix somewhat browned. Signatures. The appendix with musical notes printed by C. Müller is a very early example of Swedish lithographic printing. It contains seven short musical examples and a whole composition, a short piece in canon for soprano, tenor and fortepiano in A major with the text beginning "Hin ist alle meine Kraft". Pp. 84-86 contain "Anmärkningar af originalskriftens förläggare, herrar Breitkopf & Härtel i Leipzig" [Remarks by the original publishers of the work .]. In 1819 Ulrik Emanuel Mannerhjerta got permission to establish a lithographic printing office at Arsenalsgatan 6 in Stockholm. As indicated above the music sheets are however printed by Carl Müller, who already had established himself as a lithographer in Stockholm.
