    Paris, Maradan, 1793 (première trad.en francais). viii,343,48 (= tables: Observations météorologiques 1783-85; et Index) pp. Avec frontisp. et 1 fig.dépliante. Basane marbrée, dos doré. (cuir un peu usé, dos lég.endomm.; avec etiquette ancienne du libraire Bergeret a Bordeaux sur feuille de garde; manque un petit coin de p. 199; quelques rousseurs) Influential abolitionist book. 'Isert had spent several years as a doctor in the Danish forts and lodges on the Gold Coast. [.] After his return to Copenhagen Isert wrote his book [.] which is highly critical towards both the slave trade and the brutal slavery of the plantations. [.]. Isert's descriptions of African societies, of the Europeans in Africa, and of slavery and the slave trade were authentic and detailed. He called the slave trade an "unnatural and unjust traffic.".' (E.Gobel, The Danish Slave Trade and Its Abolition, p. 67) Dansk Biografisk Leksikon: [.] 'vigtigste og mest originale danske bidrag til antislaveri-litteraturen [.] Bogen der udkom i en ændret tysk udgave 1790 er oversat til og udgivet på dansk 1790 [.], hollandsk 1791 og 1797, fransk 1793 og svensk 1795. I indledningen fortæller Paul Isert at det var naturhistorien der lokkede ham til Afrika. Samtidig understreger han det etnografiske sigte med bogen: det bør være forfatternes pligt at beskrive vilde nationers sæder og skikke, sålænge de endnu eksisterer.'.
