CONSIDERATIONS on the public funds, the price of land, the climate, the trade of the United States of North America; the interest of France in forming colonial links with these countries... Paris, Prault l'aîné, 1793. In-8, paperback, sewn with a thread, untrimmed, with a muted cover, in a modern slipcase. Goldsmiths'-Kress, n°15571.3. Description of a plan of association for emigration to the United States and investment, exploitation of lands, and trade with this nation: For France to become a metropolis like England in North America, [....] it is necessary that French funds merge with English funds; that they also animate the industry of America, and that they force these countries to return to our ports [...]. Finally, a large number of families, regardless of the country, except for England, must go to North America to neutralize the Anglo blood there. The author outlines his project, analyzes the situation of the United States after independence and the opportunities for enrichment that are then available, and calls for participation in the activity and development of the country, because the destiny of the United States of America is to one day become more flourishing than those of the States of Europe, which it will not associate with its prosperity (p. 20). A paperback copy, as issued.
