Bemerkung:

Erste Ausgabe.- Der vorliegende Band 1 behandelt die Zeit von März bis 10. Juli 1848.- Anton Füster (5 January 1808 - 12 March 1881) was an Austrian Roman Catholic priest, theologian, pedagogue, radical political activist and author of Slovene origin. He was one of the leaders of the Viennese March Revolution of 1848. He was born in Radovljica, Carniola (now in Slovenia). He studied in Ljubljana, where he was consacrated priest in 1832. He was part of the intellectual circle of Matija Cop, where he became a friend of the poet France Prešeren. In 1835, he went to Trieste, where he served as a German language preacher. In 1839, he moved to Gorizia, where he worked as a professor of religion and pedagogy at the State Gymnasium. During this period, he became a close friend of the Slovene priest and activist Valentin Stanic, and became an active member of his Association against the Torture of Animals, one of the first animal rights movements in Central Europe. He also instrumental in the introduction of the chair for Slovene language in the priest seminary of the Archdiocese of Gorizia. In 1847, he was appointed professor of philosophy at the University of Vienna, where he promoted democratic ideas among the students. After the outbreak of the revolution of 1848, Füster became a fervent revolutionary activist; he became a chaplain of the insurgent Academic Guard, and fought on the barricades with students. In the first months of the revolution, he was sympathetic to the Slovene national movement, and was among the academicians who published the manifesto for a United Slovenia in April 1848. He later moved away from the romantic nationalist positions; on August 9th, 1848, a group of radical Slovene students, led by Lovro Toman, staged a public event, in which they 'solemnly expelled Füster from the people of Slovene descent'. In July 1848, he was elected to the so-called Kremsier Parliament. After its dissolution by the Austrian imperial authorities in March 1849, Füster emigrated to England, and then to the United States, settling in Philadelphia. He returned to Austria in 1876, first to Graz and then to Vienna" (wikipedia).- Ohne Band II. Innendeckel mit Bibl.-Schildchen. Papier zumeist stockfleckig.
