Soulès (François). Histoire des troubles de l'Amérique anglaise. ÀParis, chez Buisson, 1787. 4 vols. in-8, (8)-379-3 [misfigured 3 to 6]-(uneblanche)+ (4)-365-(uneblanche)+ (4)-420+ (4)-272-43-(uneblanche)pp. in marbled fawn calf, spine ribbed, cloisonné and fleuronné with title-pieces; spines a little faded and slightly rubbed, corners a little worn (period binding). First edition. 3 out-of-text copper-engraved folding maps, 2 of which are lightly enhanced with color: a map of the eastern half of North America, a plan of the siege of Yorktown in 1781, and a map of the coast from Williamsburg to Boston (Sabin, t.XXII, n°87290). History of the American Revolutionary War, from the stamp tax affair in 1765 to the Treaty of Versailles in 1783. A man of letters and a historian who embraced new ideas, François Soulès (1748-1809) was sympathetic to the principles on which the American Revolution was founded, but he also undertook the work of a true historian, gathering first-hand information in the form of handwritten memoirs and first-hand accounts from French, English and American actors. Chapters are devoted to the operations that pitted French and English against each other in India during this conflict. Thomas Jefferson's admiration: François Soulès submitted his manuscript to Thomas Jefferson, ambassador to France at the time, who wrote to the diplomat Louis-Guillaume Otto in January 1787 that he had seen this History, concluding with a clear judgment: "I [consider it] the best I have ever leafed through". François Soulès would publish many other works, including translations from English by Thomas Paine, Ann Radcliffe, Arthur Young, historians and travelers such as William Bligh... Provenance: the Marquis d'Arcy Michel-François-Louis Larcher (ex-libris vignettes of his father Michel Larcher on the first flyleaves), then the Counts of Antioche (armorial ex-libris vignettes covering two other earlier ex-libris, including those of the Marquis d'Arcy).
