Paris, Cuchet, 1787. 3 vol. in-8 marbled calf, ornate ribbed spine, title and greevel pages, red tr. (period binding). Rare edition, the most complete, of which the 3rd volume is almost entirely in the original edition. Illustrated with 3 title vignettes, 4 plates and 5 large folding maps. Spellings otherwise a fine copy. Originally from Normandy, Saint-John de Crèvecoeur (1735-1813) embarked for New France at the age of 20, where he served as a cartographer in Montcalm's army during the Seven Years' War. He traveled extensively, taking notes and working as a surveyor, before becoming a farmer, first in Ulster County and then in Orange County, New York, where he took citizenship and adopted the name "J. Hector St John". Leading a prosperous life on his farm, he began writing in 1770 about life in the American colonies and the emergence of an American society. The Revolution forced him to leave the country in 1780, and after a perilous 2-year journey (during which he published Letters from an American Farmer in London), he managed to return to France for a short time, returning to America in November 1783 as French consul. In 1784, he published this much expanded and more literary French edition of his Letters from an American Farmer.
