The book was most probably already there, but not yet visible in the 
on-line catalogue. You may be interested in the fact that the novel 
belonged to the local Reading Society (Lesegesellschaft), founded 1787 
by Isaac Iselin, which means it most probably circulated among the XIXth 
century reading public in Basel. The Society still exists, in the same 
place near the Cathedral since 1832:
