"A valuable contribution to its immediate as well as to its larger subject: the history of publishing and the history of German society on the eve of the Industrial Revolution."--Peter Paret, The Institute for Advanced Study "Based on meticulous research in primary sources, Moran's engaging book goes well beyond a regional study or a political biography to illuminate the domestic and international political struggles in early nineteenth-century Germany."--Jeffry M. Diefendorf, University of New Hampshire
