A first English edition was published in 1819 by Simpkin Marshall in London; this edition however is not dated and is widely different. Its publication is announced in Cobbett's Political Register volume 586 on 6 May 1826. Thomas Davison was a printer of radical works between 1819-1830 and served two years in prison for blasphemous libel. The work deals with various philosophers mythology culture etc. but mainly with Middle Eastern people and persons in particular those of historical importance for instance Moses Herodotus Flavius Josephus etc. Former owners autograph on front flyleaf otherwise a very good clean copy in a nice contemporary-style binding. Apart from the above publication announcement and one doubtful listing in OCLC with an 1830 date we found no records of this edition. hardcover

En tant que représentant de la sénéchaussée d'Anjou aux Etats-Généraux et membre de l'Assemblée Constituante Volney joua un certain rôle pendant la Révolution Française "comme défenseur résolu des libertés publiques et comme adversaire non moins résolu du clergé et en général de tous les cultes". Dans ce texte adressé aux habitants des campagnes et signé par "les Bourgeois associés pour la défense du droit du Peuple et l'instruction des Paysans" Volney conteste la hiérarchie des classes sociales et réclame notamment une refonte complète du système d'imposition avec la suppression de certaines taxes gabelle aides octrois corvées tailles et une nouvelle constitution. "Volney représente conjugués l'amour du progrès et l'attachement paysan à la terre avec une gravité constante et une sensibilité réelle mais mesurée. D'un courage entier pendant la Révolution et face à Napoléon qu'il aida d'abord il fut toujours partisan du silence philosophique devant toutes les folies individuelles ou collectives" Encyclopedia Universalis.
