Two Volumes, 534 pp. plus errata leaf, 2 folding maps, 2 folding plates. The well educated and sophistocated author escaped the guillotine and traveled to America for three years. Eventually leaving when he was accused of being a French Spy. He studied the Indians and their life most carefully, and writing in detail on the Scioto Colony, the French on the Wabash and the language of the Miami Indians. One of the plates is a view of Niagra Falls. A large folding map of the U.S. east of the Mississippi and a smaller folding map of North America are very accurate for the period, although showing scattered foxing. This copy is of the variant (no priority) with the extensive Miami Vocabulary in the rear. Continuously paginated. The text is clean and unfoxed. Bound in modern 1/4 calf over marbled boards, endpapers are marbled. Clark II 69; Howes V 141; Sabin 100692.
