Bellissime legature coeve in piena pelle marmorizzata con dorso 5 nervi e titolo, numero del volume (su pecette coeve in pelle rossa) e ricchi fregi in oro ai tasselli di ogni volume. Filetto in oro ai tagli dei piatti. Piatti interni foderati con bella carta coeva marmorizzata. Tagli rossi. Segnalibro in seta verde. Un piccolo forellino dovuto ad un difetto della della carta nella prima carta del golfo del Messico, anticamente integrato, al recto della stessa, con una piccola pecetta, praticamente ininfluente. Piccolo strappetto, senza perdita di carta, anticamente restaurato al margine interno della “Carte de l’Amerique Meridionale”, ininfluente. All’interno una decina di pagine minimamente arrossate a causa della qualità della carta utilizzata ma nel complesso esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione ed in bella legatura, di questa rara edizione della traduzione francese di una delle più importanti storie d’America pubblicata per la prima volta a Londra nel 1777. Questa dovrebbe essere la prima traduzione francese ma altre due edizione, una in due volumi e una in quattro volumi, uscirono nel corso del 1778. L’opera ebbe subito grande successo in Inghilterra e una nuova edizione uscì già nel 1778, una terza nel 1794. William Robertson nacque a Borthwick nel Midlothian nel 1721. E’ considerato con Hume e Gibbon uno dei tre grandi storici inglesi del XVIII° secolo. Figlio di un ministro presbiteriano e risiedette a lungo a Gladsmuir nell’East Lothian (1743-59). Dopo aver preso parte alle rivolte contro i giacobiti che infiammarono la Scozia negli anni quaranta del settecento. Nel 1751 divenne capo del partito moderato in seno all’assemblea generale della Chiesa scozzese. Iniziò anche ad interessarsi attivamente alla storiografia pubblicando varie opere che ottennero subito un grande successo. Nel 1777 pubblicò il primo volume della History of America ma i moti che precedettero lo scoppio della Rivoluzione Americana lo indussero a rinunciare temporaneamente a terminare l’opera che fu completata solo posteriormente. “Dans cette histoire les faits de la conquête du Mexique et du Pérou y sont éclaircis et exposés avec une impartialité à laquelle les Espagnols eux-mêmes se plurent à rendre hommage, bien qu’ils n’y fussent pas ménagés” P. Larousse. Very good copy.
