(PALLAS, PETER SIMON, editor). Neueste [i.e. Neue] Nordische Beyträge zur physikalischen und geographischen Erd- und Völkerbeschreibung, Naturgeschichte und Oekonomie. Erster Band (i.e. vol. 5). St. Petersburg and Leipzig (Johann Zacharias Logan) 1793.
8:o (about 187x111 mm.). (8), (3), 4-343, (1) pp. 2 titles with engraved vignette, 1 folding engraved plate (lacks 2 engraved maps and 2 engraved plates).
Later (early 20th century) half cloth, manuscript spine label. Bookplate of Bücherei Georg Friederici.
Include the first edition of the first part of Steller´s voyage to Kamchatka, "the most important contemporary account of Bering´s second voyage" (Howes).
After the first four volumes in this series were published, ten years elapsed before the last three volumes began to appear, this prompted the publisher to issue an alternate title for these last three volumes, in which they are numbered 1-3 instead of 5-7 and in which the title is changed from "Neue" to "Neueste". Some sets include both titles, as here.
From the library of Swedish antiquarian bookdealer Björn Löwendahl (1941-2013).
