Heinrich Gotterbarm oder die Früchte einer schlechten Kinderzucht. Ein Büchlein für das Volk.

Kreuzingen : Verlagsbuchhandlung Belle-Vue, 1847.

Small 16mo. 15.2 x 11 cm. 66 pages. Original printed brochure. Uncut. A good example.

No copy on OCLC; Only found at two libraries (Swiss National Library and Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden).

Exceedingly rare. Fascinating work written in the form of a biography as a cautionary tale against the perils of bad parenting. Poor Heinrich succumbs to a life of indolence and alcoholism. Printed in Constance for the “Emigranten-Druckerei Bellevue” (active 1840-1857) situated in Kreuzlingen (Switzerland) before it became the famed Sanitarium of Ludwig Binswanger. The author remains anonymous.
