‎Rouen, Imprimerie de la Dame Besogne, 1789. 1789 1 vol. in-4° (300 x 228 mm) of: vi, (7)-228 p., 16 tables as follows: I-II 1 folding l. each, III: 5 pp. and 2 fold. ll., IV-VII: 1 folding l. each, VIII: 1 l., IX: 24 p., X: 1 fold. l., XI: 1 l., XII-XVI: 1 p. each, pp. [231]-238. Original plain boards, uncut.‎

‎Une comparaison statistique détaillée entre les importations et les exportations de la Grande-Bretagne et des États-Unis entre 1700 et 1783. Holroyd a continuellement révisé et élargi son texte à travers un certain nombre d'éditions anglaises. Il mentionne l'importance croissante du commerce avec les Antilles et le Canada, notamment Terre-Neuve et la Nouvelle-Écosse, leurs pêcheries, leur bois d'uvre et leur construction navale. Les tableaux comparent les exportations et importations du commerce entre les États-Unis et dautres pays. Cette première traduction de l'anglais fut de Rumare, magistrat de Rouen. La traduction ultérieure de Mirabeau ne comprenait pas les tableaux statistiques. Sabin 32638 mentionne une édition de Londres et une édition de Rouen de 237 p. Howes (Hartley) H604 note que l'ouvrage « a souligné avec mépris la position impuissante du commerce américain et a ainsi influencé l'élaboration de la politique commerciale de l'Angleterre de 1783 à 1789, si préjudiciable au commerce et aux intérêts maritimes américains qu'elle a grandement contribué à la formation d'un LUnion fédérale est mieux à même que les États fédérés séparés de riposter contre la puissance maritime britannique. Provenance : bibliothèque privée au dos, ex-libris d'Alberto Parreño. 1 vol. in-4° of: vi, (7)-228 p., 16 tables as follows: I-II 1 folding l. each, III: 5 pp. and 2 fold. ll., IV-VII: 1 folding l. each, VIII: 1 l., IX: 24 p., X: 1 fold. l., XI: 1 l., XII-XVI: 1 p. each, pp. [231]-238. Original plain boards, uncut. First French edition. A detailed statistical comparison between the imports and exports of Great Britain and the United States between 1700 to 1783. Holroyd continually revised and enlarged his text through a number of English editions. He mentions the growing importance of trade with the West Indies and Canada, especially Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, their fisheries, lumber, and shipbuilding. The tables compare the export and import of trade between the United States and other countries. This first translation from the English was by de Rumare, a magistrate of Rouen. Mirabeaus later translation did not include the statistical tables. Sabin 32638 mentions a London and a Rouen edition of 237 p. Howes (Hartley) H604 notes the work Pointed out superciliously the helpless position of American commerce, and thus influenced the shaping of Englands trade policy from 1783 to 1789, so detrimental to American commerce and shipping interests as to contribute greatly to the formation of a Federal union, better able, than were the separate federated states, to retaliate against British maritime might. Provenance: remnants of private library numbers on spine, bookplate of Alberto Parreño.‎

The author travelled throughout Granada (now Columbia and Panama) from 1852-1854, and is the best travel work on the area from that time, covering all aspects of life, description of the country, peoples, customs, nature, geography, etc. Smith H120: 'The author, a botany professor, made a trip to northern South America to fill in geographical and botanical data about the area in the mid-nineteenth century. It is a long and comprehensive book with most emphasis on what he saw, rather than on botany.' Griffin 5134: 'An abbreviated second edition (1967) cut the text to less than half its length and omits the 11 appendices. For scholarly use the original edition is essential.' Sabin 32661.

‎Édition originale de la traduction française, illustrée de 9 planches en taille-douce dont 5 représentant des divinités et les 4 restantes des cartes. Son auteur John Zephania Holwell était un chirurgien, employé de la British East India Company et fut même un temps gouverneur du Bengale. Il arriva pour la première fois en 1732 et fut l'un des premiers anglais à s'intéresser à l'hindouisme, son histoire et ses dogmes. Il rédigea le présent ouvrage et le publia en anglais pour la première fois entre 1765 et 1771. Ce livre enthousiasma notamment le philosophe Voltaire qui s'en servit de source pour la rédaction de son Essai sur les moeurs et l'Esprit des nations.
