Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
[2],45pp. Modern green half roan and marbled boards, spine gilt. Extremities lightly rubbed. Modern bookplate on front pastedown. Minor soiling and foxing. Contemporary notations on titlepage. Very good. A scarce work in which Jenings "translates" - or more accurately interprets - a work by Governor Thomas Pownall, the British colonial administrator, accomplished artist, and prolific writer. Pownall's work was originally published in 1780, and was quickly translated into French, with the assistance and encouragement of John Adams. Jenings translates Pownall's work back into "common sense and intelligible English" from the French, making the first English version of this text - though Pownall disavowed the work, saying Jenings mischaracterized his ideas. By 1780, Pownall, long considered sympathetic to the position of the American colonists, was finishing a long career in Parliament. His original work (and this interpretation by Jenings) discusses the importance to Europe of the American Revolution and the ideas it espoused. It also considers the political, economic, and trade consequences for the nations of Europe of an independent America. A visionary work, scarce on the market. HOWES J89, "aa." SABIN 35987. AMERICAN CONTROVERSY 81-56c. ESTC T90880. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM44848
