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).

[RAYNAL (Guillaume-Thomas)]. Histoire philosophique et politique des établissemens & du commerce des Européens dans les deux Indes. Genève, chez les Libraires Associés, 1775. 3 volumes in-4 marbled fawn basane, ornate ribbed spines, tan and green morocco title pages and tom., red tr. (period binding). Some restorations to bindings. First quarto edition of this major Enlightenment work condemning slavery and colonization, written by Abbé Raynal with Diderot, Holbach and Naigeon. First published in 1770, Histoire des deux Indes was banned by the clergy in 1774, then by the Paris Parliament in 1781, ensuring the immense success of this 18th-century masterpiece. This edition, the most beautiful, is illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of the author by Cochin, 3 header vignettes by Marillier, 7 hors-texte plates by Eisen and 4 fold-out maps (Indian Ocean and South Sea with the Philippines and New Holland, Gulf of Mexico, South America, North America). From the library of François-César Le Tellier, marquis de Courtanvaux (1718-1781), with his armorial bookplate. (Cohen 854.) A fine copy, with a few brown spots.
