Description

Small 4to. 2 pp. on bifolium. With autograph address. To Mr. L. Schwarz, typesetter at the Imperial and Royal Court and State Printing Office in Vienna, about the layout of an upcoming edition of one of his works, explaining the changes he requests to be made in the received typesetting samples, such as reducing the line spacing and inserting asterisks in a few places: "Ich nehme mir die Freiheit Ihnen einige Bemerkungen ber die neulich mir zugesandten Setzproben mitzutheilen. Erstens ersuche ich Sie den Satz berhaupt kompresster zu halten, indem ein weiter Satz in den Augen eines Orientalen ein Gr uel ist. Zweitens, wo ein Sternchen zu setzen ist habe ich einen rothen Strich gemacht. Nur an diesen rothbezeichneten Stellen bitte ich mit Leerlassung eines kleinen Raumes ein Sternchen zu setzen [.]". - After finishing his studies at the Vienna Oriental Academy Schlechta von Wschehrd worked as an ambassador in Constantinople and soon became a dragoman. In 1860 he was the provisional director of the Oriental Academy and was appointed a diplomatic agent and Counsel General of Bucharest in 1870.
