Ostensibly the first American edition see below; 16mo pp. xvi 186 2 ads; contemporary full sheep red morocco label on spine; upper joint cracked extremities rubbed; a good sound copy. Volney 1757-1820 the French savant undertook a journey to the United States in 1795 where he was accused in 1797 of being a French spy "sent to prepare for the reoccupation of Louisiana by France. He was obliged to return to France in 1798. The results of his travels took form in his Tableau du Climat et du Sol des Etats-Unis 1803" EB-11. Page 186 contains a note from the translator. Both Jefferson and Barlow had translated Volney's Les Ruines ou méditations sur les révolutions des empires published in 1802 in Paris but there's no evidence they had any part in this translation. The translator remains unknown. Evans 29822 records a 1795 edition under a slightly different title no copies located in Evans and of which no copy in OCLC either; this may be a ghost.

TABLEAU DU CLIMAT ET DU SOL DES ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE. SUIVI D'ECLAIRCISSEMENS SUR LA FLORIDE SUR LA COLONIE FRANCAISE AU SCIOTO SUR QUELQUES COLONIES CANADIENNES ET SUR LES SAUVAGES
Paris: Courcier 1803. Two volumes. 3xvi300; 4301- 5342pp. plus two foldings maps and two folding plates. Half titles. Three-quarter calf and marbled boards spines gilt leather labels all edges stained red. Hinges rubbed edges and corners slightly worn. Bookplates on front pastedowns. A few scattered fox marks and small dampstains but generally clean. About very good. Volney came to America to avoid imprisonment by the French government and brought with him a large measure of education and sophistication as well as a small bundle of prejudices: he was a vehement anticlericalist and opponent of things Rousseauian. Jefferson felt he might have been a catalyst for the Federalist Alien Acts. There is a small map of North America and a much larger map of the United States all east of the Mississippi. The map of the continent small as it is still represents fairly advanced cartographical knowledge. This copy is of the variant no priority with the Miami vocabulary separately paginated. The work is valuable for its notes on French colonies in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. HOWES V141. CLARK II:69. PILLING 4061. FIELD 2449. MONAGHAN 1472. BUCK 49. Courcier hardcover books

VOLNEY Constantin Francois de ChassebAuf comte de 1757 1820.
Voyage en Syrie et en Egypte pendant les annees 1783 84 et 85. Quatrieme Edition. 2 volumes
Paris:: Courcier 1807. 1807. 2 volumes. 8vo. 6 x 487 1; iv 492 pp. Half-titles 5 folding engraved plates including detailed engravings of the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza 3 folding maps incl. frontis. a folding map of Egypt p. 288 Syria II p. 400 Turkey ads in front & rear. Original full mottled calf gilt spine red leather spine labels; joints rubbed but strong. Ownership Signature of Benjamin B. Wood. Very good. Fourth edition first issued in 1787 here printed with additional plates. This is a key source for the study of Ottoman Egypt Syria and modern day Lebanon sometimes called the Levant. Volney describes the geography of the region the climate its history cultures the militia economy and trade diseases the monuments natural history politics people law religions farming and agriculture craftsmen merchants commerce arts sciences and character of the inhabitants. All this is set within the presence of the years just prior to the outbreak of the French Revolution which started in 1789. "In 1783 Volney gave up the thought of following any particular profession and set out for the East. He arrived at Cairo ostensibly on a scientific mission although many there regarded him as a spy he was later accused of spying on America by John Adams' administration. In order to master Arabic he shut himself away in a convent for eight months then journeyed to the pyramids at Giza and moved to Suez where he lived with the Bedouin. While there he entertained the notion of constructing a canal to link the Mediterranean with the Red Sea. Sailing from Alexandria in September 1783 he visited Syria and the Lebanon concluding his journey at Acre =Akko in 1785. After a brief halt at Alexandria he returned to France where his documents turned out to be of enormous value in the planning of Napoleon's campaign to Egypt. Volney however persistently opposed such intervention despite producing a pamphlet which uncannily anticipated French involvement in the region." – Encyclopedia of Exploration to 1800 V61. / "The French author and traveller Constantin-Francois de Chasseboeuf 1757–1820 adopted the pen name Volney which combined the name of Voltaire and Ferney where the great philosopher lived. A friend of Thomas Jefferson and other Enlightenment figures Volney used an inheritance to further his education by travelling to Ottoman Egypt and the historical region of Syria visiting areas of present-day Lebanon and Israel. He chose these lands as he believed he would gain political and philosophical insights from their ancient heritage. Very little had been written in the West about these areas before he published this two-volume account in 1787. It enjoyed great popularity and even accompanied Darwin aboard the Beagle on his own voyage of discovery decades later. Reissued here is the revised and corrected French second edition which also appeared in 1787. The volumes explore geography history ethnic divisions religious beliefs commerce politics and customs." – Cambridge University Press 2014. / De Volney was a French philosopher and historian and a member of the Estates-General during the French Revolution. Alexander Cook who believes that Volney's influence is as a "key thinker" though often forgotten in today's sense of that history examines this books as a specimen of geo-politics of both French anti-imperialist thought and French imperial practice in North Africa and the Levant where France was seeking to expand its global influence and power during the following decades. Cook is at Australian National University School of History received his PhD from University of Cambridge. CONTENTS: Volume 1: Preface; - Part I. Etat physique de l'Egypte: - 1.

VOLNEY FOWLER
1908 - 1916 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL KEPT BY A LAND SURVEYOR DETAILING HIS LIFE HIS WORK AND THE TRAGIC AND SUDDEN DEATH OF HIS WIFE IN THE DEEP SOUTH
NATCHEZ MISSISSIPPI MI OSCEOLA ARKANSAS AK. Good. 1908. On offer is a super original diary and manuscript relic of a Mississippi man named Volney Fowler consisting of entries for the years 1908 1909 and 1916. Fowler seems to be an Surveyor working with a small company in Natchez Mississippi offering researchers and historians an interesting perspective of life in the Deep South. Throughout the diary and throughout all years of writing Fowler writes of receiving calls from many different people in town to survey various plots of land as well as reports from his boss Forest and a coworker and brother Orrick For example: April 6 1909. While at breakfast at Osceola a phone message came from Foresh for me to return home immediately to survey ____ place for Farrar. So when cars came at Lake Bruen I returned home.I did not wish to leave Osceola on Tuesday and would not have come away if Farrar had not got Mr. Ratcliffe to phone me to come to survey. In between reports of his work in Natchez Fowler writes of day-to-day occurrences and activities such as watching movies he is especially moved by Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith vacationing in Osceola Arkansas. As well Fowler is very interested in astrology and the diary is filled with many instances of astrological movements in the sky: Jupiter enters Leo. Mars enters Leo.; Venus enters Gemini; Venus conj. with moon in Cancer. In addition the verso and recto of the cover are filled with Fowlers writing on the stars and astrological movements in the year 1908. Precession of equinoxes has caused vernal equinox to leave Aries and become Pisces.; Mars enters Leo 13 Sept.; Mercury in Taurus Aug. 20th in Cancer.; At the end of 1909 Fowler writes of the long sickness and death of wife: Dr. Chamberlain is treating my wife for Angina Pectoris - which is inflammation of the chest.wife rested Tolerably last night. We think she is a trifle better at Sunrise.Dr. Beekman called 8 1/2 clock A.M. About 9 1/2 clock AM it began to appear that end was a matter of short time. Mrs. Baker came and was helpful and so Mr.s. Stamply. About 12 1/2 Clock Winnie began to show that she knew she was losing her best friend - Ida and children arrived after dark.Mamma his wife died at Eleven clock this night.My wifes funeral took place this evening at 4 clock. Our boys brought a lot yesterday in city cemetery. His entries for the year 1909 end after the death of his wife. The book is about 390 pages of which there is writing in 370 or so. The cover is in fair shape. The front cover is almost wholly detached. The spine and front cover show discoloration tears and signs of wear and age. The pages and writing are still in good shape. Fowlers handwriting is easy to read even when slightly faded or written in pencil. There are only a few entries in 1916 at the very beginning of the diary. They stop after the middle of the month in January. The entries for 1909 end after the death of Fowlers wife while the entries for 1908 continue throughout the year. This diary is a very interesting look into the life of a deep south surveyor living through the ups and downs of life. Excerpts of text: January 21 1908.
