    Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. Edition originale française en 3 volumes in-12, 175x105 mm ; 800g ; environ 300 pp par volume. Reliure pleine basane marbrée noisette d'époque, dos lisses ornés, tranches marbrées, pièces de titre et de tomaison, roulette d'encadrement sur les plats. Reliure et corps d'ouvrage en très bon état. Ces livres ont été donnés comme « Prix de bon caractère » en 1833 à une élève de l'Institution de Madame Gambès-Pravaz, directrice d'une des premières institutions de demoiselles à Paris, dirigée par l'épouse du docteur Pravaz, inventeur de la seringue. À propos de la campagne d'Italie on y lit « Le jeune Corse dominé par un orgueil sans mesure insistait avec une ténacité imperturbable pour qu'on lui confiât le commandement de l'armée d'Italiec'est là que Buonaparte commença cette carrière de gloire militaire à laquelle peu d'autres et peut-être aucune ne peuvent être comparées », et un peu plus loin, en guise d'épilogue à l'ouvrage : « Napoléon leur laissa (aux italiens) encore, comme à bien d'autres peuples, ce funeste principe, que la gloire consiste dans l'asservissement des nations étrangères, et que tous les moyens sont bons pourvu qu'on arrive aux richesses et au pouvoir. Il est l'auteur de la démoralisation moderne, de cette démoralisation qui rend peut-être les peuples de l'Europe incapables de liberté. Une affreuse ambition règne au fond des coeurs : c'est le legs de Buonaparte ». N'oublions pas que notre auteur est italien d'origine et que nous sommes à nouveau (mais pas pour longtemps) gouvernés par un Bourbon certes-, mais quand même .…

HOWES B636 (ref). SABIN 6820. SAMUEL HOUGH, THE ITALIANS AND THE CREATION OF AMERICA 97. LARNED 1241. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 551. SOWERBY, JEFFERSON'S LIBRARY 509 (note). REESE, REVOLUTIONARY HUNDRED 96. First English-language edition of this important early history of the American Revolution, first published in Italian in 1809. "This work grew out of a conversation held in 1806 in which those present were asked which modern event would make the best subject. Botta interpreted the American cause as a struggle for liberty. At every opportunity he excited the nationalistic aspirations of the Italians, and suggested analogies with Italy's past and contemporary history. Botta looked upon the creation of the United States as an example and inspiration for the formation of an Italy unified and free of foreign rule" - Hough. Jefferson owned a copy of the Italian first edition. In a letter to John Adams, Jefferson wrote that Botta (despite his habit of putting unattributed words into the mouths of his speakers), produced a history of the Revolution "with more detail, precision and candor than any writer I have yet met with." "Most valuable history of the Revolution up to its date" - Howes. …

    BOTTA, Charles. History of the War of Independence of the United States of America. Translated from the Italian by George Alexander Otis. Phila.: Printed for the Translator. Lydia R. Bailey, Printer, 1820. 1st American ed. 3 vols. Orig. calf, rebacked in antique-style calf, gilt-decorated spine, red morocco spine labels. Tear to titlepage of Vol. One professionally repaired, else a very good set. First edition in English. HOWES B-636. Reese, Revolutionary Hundred 96. "Most valuable history of the Revolution up to its date"-Howes. Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Adams on 10-11 August 1815 about Botta's work: "The work is nevertheless a good one, more judicious, more chaste, more classical, and more true than the party diatribe of Marshall. It's greatest fault is in having taken too much from him. I possess the work, and often recurred to considerable portions of it. ." On 15 May 1817, Jefferson again wrote to Adams, saying he was re-reading Botta and that he feels Botta "has given that history with more detail, precision and candor than any writer I have yet met with." Adams responded on 18 May: "I am not expert enough in Italian to read Botta, and I know not that he has been translated. Indeed I have been so little satisfied with Histories of the American Revolution, that I have long since, ceased to read them."-The Adams-Jefferson Correspondence, Vol. 2, p.451.…
