"Volney was an educated Frenchman of some distinction and merit . . . When he came to America he was an experienced traveler and anticlericalist and an opponent of the philosophy of Rousseau. His departure from his native land was no doubt determined upon when the government he hoped to serve threw him in prison. . . This work is not a narrative of travel. The author described in some detail the geography of the United States noting topography soil climate winds and diseases" Clark. The plates herein are sophisticated and are as follows: Plate I shows the composition of the earth in the areas of Pennsylvania and Ohio and at Louisville Ohio; Plate III contains two views of the St. Lawrence River one showing the river stretching eastward from Lake Ontario the other showing a waterfall Niagara Falls; Plate II is a map of North America; and Plate IV is a large map measuring 25-1/4 x 18-1/4 inches of the United States East of the Mississippi by L Collin.
