Ostensibly the first American edition see below; 16mo pp. xvi 186 2 ads; contemporary full sheep red morocco label on spine; upper joint cracked extremities rubbed; a good sound copy. Volney 1757-1820 the French savant undertook a journey to the United States in 1795 where he was accused in 1797 of being a French spy "sent to prepare for the reoccupation of Louisiana by France. He was obliged to return to France in 1798. The results of his travels took form in his Tableau du Climat et du Sol des Etats-Unis 1803" EB-11. Page 186 contains a note from the translator. Both Jefferson and Barlow had translated Volney's Les Ruines ou méditations sur les révolutions des empires published in 1802 in Paris but there's no evidence they had any part in this translation. The translator remains unknown. Evans 29822 records a 1795 edition under a slightly different title no copies located in Evans and of which no copy in OCLC either; this may be a ghost.

1803WRCAM51639Paris: Courcier 1803. Two volumes. 3xvi300; 4301- 5342pp. plus two foldings maps and two folding plates. Half titles. Three-quarter calf and marbled boards spines gilt leather labels all edges stained red. Hinges rubbed edges and corners slightly worn. Bookplates on front pastedowns. A few scattered fox marks and small dampstains but generally clean. About very good. Volney came to America to avoid imprisonment by the French government and brought with him a large measure of education and sophistication as well as a small bundle of prejudices: he was a vehement anticlericalist and opponent of things Rousseauian. Jefferson felt he might have been a catalyst for the Federalist Alien Acts. There is a small map of North America and a much larger map of the United States all east of the Mississippi. The map of the continent small as it is still represents fairly advanced cartographical knowledge. This copy is of the variant no priority with the Miami vocabulary separately paginated. The work is valuable for its notes on French colonies in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. HOWES V141. CLARK II:69. PILLING 4061. FIELD 2449. MONAGHAN 1472. BUCK 49. Courcier hardcover books
