One of the great French travel accounts including visits to the American army in the last stage of the Revolution, debating political science with Sam Adams, First hand description and evaluation of Washington, extensive visit with Jefferson at Monticello, and highly intelligent descriptions and analysis of American character at a crucial moment in the nations' formative period.

He afterward served in America as major general under Rochambeau, and gained the friendship of Washington by his amiable character. This, the second issue of this work, preceded by the extremely rare Newport edition of 1781.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Two volumes: xv+462 pages with two folding maps; xv+430 pages with three folding plates. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original full leather with black and red labels to spine, lettered in gilt. translated from the French by an English gentleman, who resided in America at that period ; with notes by the translator. Translated by G. Grieve, Watt and Sabin ascribe the translation to J. Kent. (Sabin 12229) First Irish edition. Chastellux was a military officer who served during the War of American Independence as a major general in the French expeditionary forces led by general Comte de Rochambeau. Being on general Rochambeau's staff for the duration of the war, Chastellux acted as the principal liaison officer between the French commander in chief and George Washington. However the Chevalier de Chastellux was also widely recognized, at the time of his campaigns in America, as a highly talented man of letters and a member of the French Academy. After arriving in America in July 1780, Chastellux participated to the American Revolutionary War as Major General in the French expeditionary force led by general Rochambeau. During the following year, he was third in command of the French forces engaged at the decisive Siege of Yorktown in 1781 where the British were ultimately defeated. Major General de Chastellux was fluent in English and with his strong ideological support of the American cause, he served the alliance well. During the latter part of the campaign he was the principal liaison officer between George Washington and French general Rochambeau. Thereafter, Chastellux remained a personal friend of George Washington for life. Furthermore, the College of William and Mary and the University of Pennsylvania also awarded Chastellux with honorary degrees. After his return to France, Chastellux also remained in contact with Thomas Jefferson, now the American representative in Paris, whom he had previously visited on his Virginia estate at Monticello.

Provenance: With the contemporary ownership inscription of Franken Bonafours "No. 1620" at the head of the title-page; with the bookplate of James S. Copley on the front paste-down, his sale, Sotheby s New York "Magnificent American, Historical Documents", 10th May 2011, lot 1016.

Warville accuses Chastellux of exposing to ridicule, and grossly misrepresented the principles and manners of the Quakers. He writes that Chastellux s reflections on the slavery of the negroes, and his thoughts on the condition of mankind with respect to the ranks in society, are often unjust.
