Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Frederick Perthes, Vol. 1: Or Literary, Religious, and Political Life in Germany, From 1789 to 1843 The year 1772 was a very calamitous year for Germany. Dearth and famine were almost everywhere prevalent, while scarcely any district escaped the visitation of a malignant pestilence. It was in this, "the great hunger-year," as it was called, that Frederick Christopher Perthes was born at Rudolfstadt, on the 21st of April. The ancestors of his father, Christopher Frederick Perthes, Secretary of the Exchequer to the house of Rudolf Schwartzburg, appear to have lived for several centuries at Erfurt, as pastors and physicians. In the year 1740, however, the respectable and art-loving Doctor of Medicine, John Justus Perthes, a God-fearing, honest, and discreet man, was summoned from Erfurt to Rudolfstadt as family physician to the Prince. The youngest but one of his seven children was the above-named Christopher Frederick. In 1741 he entered the Rudolfstadt Gymnasium; and in 1755, "well-informed and prepared," as the school-registers assure us, repaired to Jena to study jurisprudence.
