SCHYTTE, ANDREAS.

Danmarks og Norges naturlige og politiske Forfatning. 1 part (all that was published).

Kiøbenhavn, Gyldendal (but printed in Sorø), 1777.

8vo. In contemporary full calf with four raised bands and gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. All edges coloured in red. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Wear to spine, parts of gilting worn off. Internally very nice and clean. LII, (6), 636, (2) pp. 


Rare first edition of Schytte’s work on the “Natural Political Constitution” of Denmark and Norway. Schytte had intended to publish at least  two volumes but only this present first volume was published.

Together with “Staternes indvortes Regiering” and “Staternes udvortes Regiering” Schytte envisioned a comprehensive textbook-system encompassing all political economics and politology relating to all of Europe but with a focus on Denmark and Norway.
Of the three titles this present, unfinished, work is by far the most rare.
