About This Item
Translation into French (by Parraud) of the first edition published in Delaware 1784. With a map dedicated to George Washington. The very back part of the book contains a certificate by three Kentucky inhabitants as to the truthfulness of the writing. Also given are the permissions of the French censorship officer and the king.
Considering its age, the book is in a remarkably well preserved condition. Pages show very slight browning and no stains. The text-free margins show book worm holes in some parts. There is some handwriting on the lower margins of pp 30 and 31.
