‎First edition of the complete second series of the transactions of the Royal Danish Society of Sciences, preceded by “Skrifter, som udi de Kongelige Videnskabers Selskab ere Fremlagde, og nu til Trykken Befordrede” and subsequently continued as “Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskabs Skrifter”. A nice set containing a wealth of scientific material of the Enlightenment period with substantial contributions in botany and zoology (including several important papers by Lorentz Spengler and Christen Friis Rottbøll), as well as astronomy, mechanics, meteorology, mathematics, and other fields.
