1 vol. in-12° (175 x 107 mm.) de : [1] f. (Titre), 452 - [3] (Privilège, Errata) pp. Plein veau d'époque, dos à nerfs orné, titre de marocain rouge, filet doré sur les coupes. (Coiffes arrasées, fentes aux mors, coins émoussés, intérieur très frais). Édition originale de cette remarquable chronique des événements de l'indépendance américaine. Cf. Howes : "Récit journalier d'événements depuis l'arrivée de Gage à Boston jusqu'au moment où la France reconnaît l'indépendance." L'auteur dit, dans sa préface : "Combien est-il de François qui ne savent même pas la nomenclature des peuples avec lesquels leur Souverain vient de faire alliance ? Le nom de Bostoniens, qui n'est dû qu'aux Habitans de la Province de Massachusett, une des quatre qui forment la Nouvelle-Angleterre proprement dite, est cependant devenu la dénomination générale & commune des habitans des treize Provinces." À la fin de l'ouvrage se trouve le texte du Traité d'amitié et de commerce conclu entre le Roi & les États-Unis de l'Amérique Septentrionale. Du Buisson (1746-1794) était l'auteur de quelques autres livres sur les relations internationales, ainsi que de plusieurs pièces de théâtre et des libretti d'opéras. Même s'il était un fervent de la Révolution Française, il critiqua quelques-uns de ses excès, et fut guillotiné en 1794. Epigraphe en page de titre : "Chaque Peuple à son tour a brillé sur la terre, Par les Loix, par les arts, & sur-tout par la guerre. Le tems de l'Amérique est à la fin venu, Ce Peuple généreux, trop long-tems inconnu Laissait dans ses deserts ensevelir sa gloire : Voici les jours nouveaux marqués pour la victoire." Voltaire. Bel exemplaire. Sabin, 9080 & 21037; Howes (Hartley), D537 ("c"). 1 vol. 12mo. Contemporary full calf. First edition of this detailed narrative of events in America during the period from the arrival of General Gage in Boston to the recognition of the United States by the French government. In his introductory Avertissement the author states that he had returned to France from a visit to America to find his countrymen excited and curious about the War for Independence but woefully ignorant of its progress, so he was attempting to instruct them. Dubuisson (1746-1794) wrote a couple of other books on international relations and a number of plays and operatic libretti. An ardent supporter of the French Revolution, he fell in with the wrong faction and was guillotined on March 34, 1794. This work went through two French editions and was also published in German and Italian. Fine copy.…
