(qqs pp. lég. brunies, rares taches ou mouill. marg., large mouill. au début du vol. II), carte dépliante du Canada. ÉDITION ORIGINALE DE LA TRADUCTION de ce récit de voyage aux États-Unis et au Canada que l'explorateur irlandais Weld (1774-1856) entreprit afin d'y étudier les conditions de vie car il était persuadé que les Irlandais auraient à y émigrer massivement. Il porte un jugement sévère envers l'Amérique, lui préférant le Canada. L'édition originale en anglais parut à Londres en 1799. Illustré de 9 planches (mont Vernon et maison de Washington, rivière de Patowmac - i.e. rivière Hudson -, chutes du Niagara et de la rivière Mohawk, cap Diamant...) et d'1 carte dépliante figurant l'Amérique du Nord.

3 volumi in 8vo (211x132 mm). vii, [5]-321, [3] p., [1] grande cartina ripiegata del Canada e [6] tavole; [4], 344 p. e [4] tavole; [4], 294 p. [mancante l'ultima carta, bianca] e [2] tavole. Volumi legati in brossura coeva con tassello al dorso. Qualche lieve rossore, ma buona copia con carte consistenti e ancora in barbe. Prima edizione francese. Resoconto del viaggio compiuto dal giovane Isaac Weld, che trascorse più di due anni in Nord America per studiare le condizioni per una possibile immigrazione massiva irlandese. Osservò il territorio nordamericano compreso tra il fiume San Lorenzo a nord, la Virginia a sud e Detroit a ovest, muovendosi con i mezzi più disparati (a cavallo, a piedi, in canoa, in battello e in calesse). Incontrò una popolazione quantomai variegata, e conobbe George Washington e Thomas Jefferson. Il suo racconto è una testimonianza di grande interesse per la diversità dei temi trattati e per il giudizio dato alle due regioni osservate: severo per gli Stati Uniti e i suoi abitanti, avidi e violenti; più accondiscendente per il Canada, saggiamente governato e ancora abitato per lo più da francofoni.<BR>Boucher de la Richarderie VI, p. 43-54.
