Membre du conseil supérieur de l'île, il fut chargé d'en dresser la statistique. L'ouvrage renferme des renseignements sur la population, dont une étonnante description des "américains", l'économie, l'esclavage, la géographie, la faune et la flore, le climat, etc. L'année même de la publication de ce volume, Chanvalon sera nommé intendant de la nouvelle colonie de Guyane, là où le royaume plaçait ses espoirs après la perte du Canada ; l'expédition sera un véritable désastre, à la fois sur le plan humain et financier, entraînant la perte de milliers de colons et de plusieurs millions de livres. Bel exemplaire, malgré une trace d'eau sur le plat supérieur et une mouillure peu prononcée dans l'angle inf. des premiers et des derniers cahiers.
