The original edition in German, also issued in 1785, under the title "Kurzgefasste Beschreibung der drei Schlesischen Kriege zur Erklarung einter Kupfertafel auf Welcher, sechs und zwanzig Schlachten und Hauptgefechte abgebildet sind," was accompanied by a large folding plate at the rear which included all the various battle plans mentioned. For the French language edition, this plate was carefully trimmed and separated into the individual plans which were then laid down on plates and interspersed within the text. The extra-illustrated title page was created from the title of the plate. Other copies we have examined show slight variations in the way the plates were trimmed, so each copy must have been created by hand. OCLC lists 5 copies of this edition in the U.S.: Stanford, Soc. of the Cincinnati, Boston Athenaeum, U.S. Army War College, & Newberry.
