Alexander von HUMBOLDT (1769-1859), German naturalist and explorer. Autograph letter signed to "my respectable friend". 1 p. in-8 oblong. [Paris], "this Wednesday 1808". Humboldt documents himself. "I am in great need of the work by Abbé Hervas [Lorenzo Hervas y Panduro (1735-1809)] in Rome, Historia del hombre in 2-3 volumes [Historia de la vida del hombre, in 7 volumes]. I believe it is written in Spanish (Histoire physique et morale de l'homme), so I would be happy with a translation. He asked if the Imperial Library had a copy. "The same Hervas published a work on American languages.
