Autograph Letter Signed to 'Monsieur Carilian-Goeury, Libraire-éditeur à Paris'.

12mo, 3 pp. Good, on browned and lightly creased paper with some wear to extremities. In French. Long thorough order with instructions for delivery, casting light on the logistical problems encountered in international trade in nineteenth-century Europe. Pražak is sending 'six pièces d'or à vingt francs, ou une somme de 120 francs en or', and gives a list of four books he would like sent to him. There follows a discussion of the problems of delivering the books to Prague. When they met Carilian-Goeury said that he would charge for transporting the books 'jusque à Leipzig, et que c'est a moi de faire venir les livres de Leipzig à Prague'. Pražak asks Carilian-Goeury to instruct his 'commissionaire' at Leipzig 'qu'il expédie le paquet par la diligence /:Postwagen:/' to his address and at his expence. He instructs Carilian-Goeury on what to do with the remaining money, and asks him 'de faire porter le billet si-joint a M. Eustase Januszkiewicz employé à la librairie polonaise'.
