Publications de la Societe d'Etudes pour la colonisation de la Guyane francaise Number 4. The bibliographical catalogue occupies pages 579-616 and contains descriptions of 240 works on Guiana. Sabin 56097. First edition.<br /><br />French Guiana French: Guyane française officially Guyane is an overseas department French: département d'outre-mer or DOM of France located on the northern coast of South America. It has borders with two nations Brazil and Suriname. Like the other DOMs French Guiana is also an overseas region of France one of the 26 regions of France. Its currency is the euro. The prefecture is Cayenne. The addition of the adjective "French" comes from colonial times when three such colonies existed: British Guiana now Guyana Dutch Guiana now Suriname and French Guiana. The three are still often collectively referred to as the Guianas. French Guiana was originally inhabited by a number of indigenous American people. It was settled by the French during the 17th century. After the Treaty of Paris in 1763 Louis XV sent 12000 settlers to French Guiana to colonise the region. One and a half years later only a few hundred survived.2 Its infamous Île du Diable Devil's Island was the site of penal settlements from 1852 until 1951. More than 70000 French convicts were deported to French Guiana between 1852 and 1939.3 In 1809 a Portuguese-British naval squadron took French Guiana for the Portuguese Empire. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1814 the region was handed back to the French though a Portuguese presence remained until 1817. A border dispute with Brazil arose in the late nineteenth century over a vast area of jungle leading to the short-lived pro-French independent state of Counani in the disputed territory and some fighting between settlers before the dispute was resolved largely in favor of Brazil by the arbitration of the Swiss government.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Front inner hinge cracked rubbing to hinges and corners some internal foxing else a very good copy.

Borba de Moraes p. 740-41 first edition. Sabin 71997 noting the Venice editions of 1778 and 1802 only. Originally published in two volumes in 1777 by Strahan and Cadell in London and Balfour in Edinburgh "to a very positive reception" ODNB; first Venice edition published in 1778. "Its success" according to the ODNB "was even more marked on the continent where it was considered Robertson's masterpiece . . . With its dramatic sweep of narrative combined with a provocative confrontation of two very different stages of civilization Spanish and Native American and a prose that was more flexible and evocative than that of his earlier books the History of America is often regarded as Robertson's most interesting original and even Romantic work. However it also shows the Eurocentric limits of his stadial thinking because it presents an unsympathetic account of Native Americans and glosses over Spanish atrocities." Borba de Moraes credits Roberston with writing the "first history of the discovery and Spanish conquest of America based on ample bibliographical information and documents in the Simancas archives. . . . The bibliography at the end of the second volume is remarkable for the time." Franklin D. Roosevelt owned the first Venice edition. N. B.
