    Important document concerning the history of Canada and the United States, the work begins by examining the causes of the conflict between Great Britain and France concerning the Ohio territory.

Board composed of three views as described by the author: No.1 ruins of a temple near Chnubis, seven or eight hundred yards from the walls of the city: this little monument, like the Hermitage, the edge of the desert, has a very imposing character; a sanctuary of ancient times was surrounded after a rotating gallery, which was completed by two portals that are destroyed. Desired I should make more views because all its aspects were equally noble and picturesque; nudity soil round the monument leaves no doubt about the isolation in which he was all the time, and there ought not to look for the existence of a lost...

    Modern cream parchment paper boards binding. Black sheep title label.
    Like all satirical works by Abbé Bordelon, this is a curious and unclassifiable work in which a narrator travels in the company of Becafort, relating his thoughts, speeches and dialogues; the work teems with criticisms and reflections on social progress, women's independence, the occult sciences... It is a journey without any consideration for the journey itself, warns the narrator.
