From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikisource has an original article from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica about:
Anton Friedrich Büsching (1724-1793) was a celebrated German geographer.
His Erdbeschreibung ("Earth description") was the first geographical work of any scientific merit. It gives only the geography of Europe.
