"Scripps author of an official life of Lincoln visited the Lake Superior Country in 1855 and upon his return made an extensive study of the region from the Great Lakes westward with special reference to the fur companies the inhabitants Hudson's Bay Company water courses and minerals.

Best.-Nr. 117837Amsterdam, Chez Jaques Menassion 1699, 150x90mm, reliure plein veau avec titre, fleurons (fleurs de lys) et caissons ornés dorés au dos à quatre faux-nerfs. Coiffe inférieure abimée. Charnière supérieure fendue. Intérieur propre. Barbier III-574. Troisième traduction française de Coste.Revue Dix-septième siècle 2011/4, n.° 253, article L’oeuvre des premiers traducteurs français de John Locke : Jean Le Clerc, Pierre Coste et David Mazel : “Locke ne semble pas avoir trouvé que les commentaires ajoutés par Coste dans la préface de la traduction de ses Thoughts concerning Education étaient déplacés ; au contraire, il trouva son conseil à propos de la nécessité de bien maîtriser sa langue maternelle si perspicace qu’il décida de l’insérer non pas dans le paratexte mais dans le texte même de l’édition anglaise revue et augmentée qui suivit, ce dont Coste ne fut pas peu fier. Le transfert culturel eut donc un effet boomerang. En d’autres termes, l’adaptation culturelle à laquelle Coste fut contraint de procéder pour traduire Some Thoughts concerning Education en français fut ensuite adoptée par l’auteur anglais pour son texte source qui fut ainsi enrichi de l’idée du traducteur français”... “dans l’avertissement à la deuxième édition française de De l’education des enfans Coste signala qu’au rang des “articles tout nouveaux” dont Locke avait grossi la version originale de l’œuvre figurait le sien, sur l’importance d’une bonne maîtrise de sa langue maternelle, il précisa également que le texte original avait gagné en exactitude. (...) À en croire Coste, c’est grâce à lui et à son travail de traduction que Locke en vint à “exprimer en Anglois quantité d’endroits, d’une manière plus précise & plus distincte qu’il n’avoit fait dans les trois premières Éditions de son Livre””.
