1806ref. WRCAM48560New York 1806. viii181pp. Contemporary marbled boards rebacked in modern red cloth. Corners heavily worn. Bookplate on front pastedown ownership signatures on titlepage. Lightly foxed. Light dampstaining to upper corner of last half of text. Pp.179-180 provided in photographic facsimile. Fair. In a red morocco solander box. The only English edition of an important work concerning Louisiana at the end of Spanish and French rule and the emerging American takeover. The author is known only as M. Berquin-Duvallon. He gives an unflattering picture of Spanish Louisiana with descriptions of the flamboyant Creole lifestyle and the ill effects of slavery as well as notes regarding agricultural productions especially sugar the look of New Orleans and other aspects of the country. Despite the title of this translation the author's experience was mostly confined to the area around New Orleans and not in West Florida. Authorities agree that this is an important if jaded source for Louisiana at the time. This edition is quite rare far more so than the French first. CLARK II:79. STREETER SALE 1533. SABIN 4965.

The author Berquin 1747-1791 specialized very early in children's literature being indeed the first to have done so. His children's books enjoyed great popularity and were very frequently reprinted throughout the nineteenth century. English and German children of the late eighteenth century knew Berquin's work very well. The greater part of l'ami des enfants consists of short theatrical pieces historical moral childish. but one also finds numerous short tales and romances letters as well as a shipwreck narrative. Thus one counts in the general table of contents 106 entries. L'ami de l'adolescence also contains moral theatrical pieces and other pieces more narrative or more clearly pedagogical; one should note La relation d'un naufrage sur l'île Royale and le Système du monde mis à la portée de cet âge. Certain works are entirely devoted to instruction and pedagogy such as L'introduction à la connaissance de la nature notably through animal figures or the Entretiens sur les connaissances. Moreover it is not that Berquin was the first to extend this literature that is important it is rather that one can situate at this period the introduction of childhood into our cultures and Berquin is precisely an eloquent testimony to this. Furthermore it was undoubtedly among the first times that one found so many children represented in illustration. Renouard hardcover
