Slight signs of wear. Contemporary binding. 193 x 123 mm. First edition. "Curious collection mainly with regard to the history of independence and the government of this country". Leclerc Bibliotheca Americana n°952. "Very accurate compilation that refutes Mably and Raynal's theories and forms a precious wealth of information of all kind about the United States". Fay Bibliographie des ouvrages français relatifs aux Etats-Unis 1770-1800 page 25. This work is the result of Mazzei and Condorcet's collaboration. Mazzei was an Italian migrant in America before the revolution and that settled in Virginia. He was very close to Thomas Jefferson who being the President sent him on mission near the Great Duke of Tuscany. Condorcet wrote the Lettres d'un bourgeois de New-Heaven sur l'unité de la législation et Réflexions touchant l'influence de la révolution de l'Amérique sur l'Europe par un habitant obscur de l'ancien hémisphère. " The only book of that time to contain a collection of information absolutely true about the United States is Mazzei's big work : 'Recherches historiques et politiques sur les Etats-Unis de l'Amérique'… This enormous work in four parts is a methodical and careful rebuttal of every mistake that was said or written about the United States. His book is important. He also shows that if we had wanted we could have had in France an accurate knowledge of the United States of their social political and moral conditions. Mazzei refutes one after the other Hilliard d'Auberteuil the illustrious Mably the great Raynal and the newspapers.

Son livre est important … il prouve encore que si l'on avait voulu on aurait pu avoir alors en France une connaissance fort exacte des Etats-Unis de leurs conditions sociales politiques et morales.

A major cultural event of the last decade of the ancien regime a beautiful monument to Voltaire the greatest man that literature had produced. Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais led a controversial life. Playwright The Marriage of Figaro politician publisher entrepreneur spy supplier of munitions for the American Revolution and an early champion of the rights of artists and intellectual property. Shortly after the death of Voltaire in 1778 Beaumarchais set out to publish Voltaire's complete works many of which were banned in France and vehemently condemned by the Church. Royal letters would be censored by Frederick II of Germany Catharine II of Russia and others. He bought the rights to most of Voltaire's many manuscripts from publisher Charles-Joseph Panckoucke in 1779. To evade censorship printing presses were set up in the small neutral independant state of Baden at Kehl. Beaumarchais bought with exclusivity the complete foundry of the famous English type designer John Baskerville for the Societe Litteraire Typographique an organization he established to produce editions in which he was interested. Three paper mills were purchased. Seventy volumes were published between 1783 to 1790. While the venture proved a financial failure Beaumarchais was instrumental in preserving many of Voltaire's later works which otherwise might have been lost. The Kehl edition was banned on French territory until 1789. Baskerville font was revived by Americans in the 20th century.
