1905réf. 6979Salt Lake City 1905. First Edition. 32pp. Sextodecimo 15 cm Printed stapled wrappers. Better than very good.

Includes a brief section sandbagging Reed Smoot and the author's opposition to the seating of Smoot in the U.S. Senate.

"Of the hundreds of people from other states who are now residing in Bear River Valley and other parts of Utah not one has been interfered with or hindered in any way by the Mormons. Bear River Valley is home of the prosperous contented and happy farmer." - p.8. Flake/Draper 6219. unknown

'Les anciens Égyptiens étaient de vrais Nègres de l'espèce de tous les naturels d'Afrique; et dès-lors on explique comment leur sang allié depuis plusieurs siècles à celui des Romains et des Grecs a dû perdre l'intensité de sa première couleur en conservant cependant l'empreinte de son moule originel .; de penser que cette race d'hommes noirs aujourd'hui notre esclave et l'objet de nos mépris est celle-là même à qui nous devons nos arts nos sciences et jusqu'à l'usage de la parole'.

'L'auteur se met en scène sur les ruines de Palmyre; et là il se livre à de profondes méditations sur la destruction de tant d'empires à qui leur puissance colossale semblait promettre une éternelle durée et qui n'en ont pas moins obéi à cette loi de la nature qui veut que tout périsse. Dans ce même ouvrage Volney établit la nécessité de la tolérance religieuse reconnue aujourd'hui par tous les esprits éclairés. . Les Ruines n'en passent pas moins pour une des productions les plus remarquables de la littérature de la fin du XVIIIe siècle'. Wikipédia s.v.
