About this Item
12mo, pp. [iv], 272; [iv], 270. Bound with the half titles in modern boards and morocco label. Untrimmed with marginal paper repairs, wide margins (except for the final leaves in each volume). Generally a nice clean copy. Howes R-87; Sabin 68112. This is a description of the politics, economics and demographics of the English colonies in North America. The second volume is a reprint of Raynal's book on the American Revolution (first published in 1781). Raynal is sympathetic to the revolting colonies and criticizes the policy of the British government. A French historical and political writer, Raynal (1711-1796) was educated as a Jesuit before breaking with the order and becoming curate of St. Suplice in Paris. Rose suggests that this was a work "written in a liberal strain, but without much depth or accuracy. Its mistakes were exposed in a pamplet by Thomas Paine" (Lettre Adressee A L'Abbe Raynal, 1782). First French Edition (First published in Amsterdam in 1781). Seller Inventory # 24086
