Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
228pp. Contemporary plain wrappers. Wrappers bit chipped at extremities, repaired at head of spine. Internally quite fine, untrimmed. The third issue of this work, preceded by the ultra-rare Newport edition of 1781, and a 1785 issue. The publication of this edition was not approved by the author, who was preparing a more elaborate production which was issued the following year, incorporating many additions and changes. The narrative describes the author's experiences in America in 1780 and 1781. "One of the most notable travel accounts of the Revolutionary period not only because of Chastellux's keen observation and the directness of his narrative but also because of his acute comments on society and the character of the people in different walks of life" - Clark. HOWES C324. MONAGHAN 404. SABIN 12226. CLARK I:212. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM926
