The second volume of the 'magazine' which does not contain anything related to North-America is also available for 80$ in case the buyer prefers this completeness. Lord G. A. v. Seckendorff (1775 Germany - 1823 Alexandria, Louisiana) was a german poet and painter, studied in Leipzig, Freiurg i. Br. and Wittenberg (Luther-town). From 1796-98 he lived in North-America, then returned to Germany to work in different professions, became Art-professor in Saxonia and later worked as a travelling artist under the name Patrick Peale. In 1821 he returned to North-America where he died in 1823 just after he became acknowledged artist. Some of his paintings are still held by American Art-Institutions.The pictures show the wrapppers and inside flaps with the index (The 'Letters' are No. III in the first and No. V in the 'second' volume), then parallel the first page of the article, two from tthe running text and the last in vol. I and the last but one of vol. II(i.e.III) because here the next page only contains 1,5 lines plus the announcement of another suite which actually never came (see 'Starnes').It is a little complicate to explain the structure of this two-volume 'Letters' but it is definately complete as it is (even without the middle volume which however is available as well).The condition of both volumes is fine!
