SOCIETY, MANNERS AND POLITICS IN THE UNITED STATES: BEING A SERIES OF LETTERS ON NORTH AMERICA. First American edition, translated from the third Paris edition of the previous year. Chevalier, later a well-known economist, went to America to study public works for the French government. He spent two years in America, from 1833 to 1835. He had "a reputation among his contemporaries equal to that of... de Tocqueville and Gustave de Beaumont," according to Monaghan, and his book "still remains as one of the most important French commentaries on the United States." He travelled extensively in the Northeast and the South, including Virginia, South Carolina, and New Orleans.
