DES COLONIES, ET DE LA RÉVOLUTION ACTUELLE DE L'AMERIQUE. A discussion of the politics of the revolutions in South America, including the Spanish, French, and Portuguese colonies there. Pradt wrote a number of books on European relations with the Americas. Signed by the publisher on the verso of the titlepage in the first volume, evidently as a certification for state censors. This copy is made particularly interesting by the addition of four manuscript pen and wash drawings signed "Janet," titled as follows: "Colomb. découvre l'Amèrique," "Colomb en chains," "Dames Américaines," and "Habitants de Quito."
