Histoire des troubles de l'Amérique anglaise

FIRST EDITION.

A history of the American War of Independence from the Stamp Act affair in 1765 to the Treaty of Versailles in 1783. The author here shows himself to be sympathetic to the principles underpinning the American Revolution, but commits himself to a true historian's work by gathering first-hand information, including both manuscript memoirs and direct testimonies from French, English, and American actors. François Soulès would publish many other works, including translations from English by Thomas Paine, Ann Radcliffe, Arthur Young, and historians and travelers such as William Bligh... One of the best French works on the War of Independence.
