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.

Hill of Boston that is not present in this copy. These morality stories for children by the French author and poet Arnaud Berquin 1747-1791 originally appeared in monthly installments in a magazine called L' Ami Des Enfans. The tales were so popular they were collected and published together in French and English.

He wrote with the "conviction that children should be addressed directly in language they could readily understand."
