Debit and Credit: A Novel,,,Translated from the German of Gustav Freytag.

Pp, 500, slight foxing spots. Half calf gilt over marble boards, It was translated into English as Debit and Credit by Georgiana Malcolm n?e Harcourt in 1857. The novel concerns a Polish uprising against German colonization in Prussian Poland, where German settlers are seen as displacing the ethnically Slavic Polish inhabitants. Freytag unequivocally endorses this displacement, espousing ardent Anti-Polish sentiment and German racial superiority, stating that -there is an old warfare between [Germans] and the Slavonic tribes; and [Germans] feel with pride that culture, industry, and credit are [their] side.
