Printed by John Parker; Philadelphia; 1793., 1793 Disbound, else good plus. Book block is 7 3/4 x 5 inches, iv + (5)-104 pp. (complete). From the preface by the translator, William Cobbett: "To the Citizens of the United States: What is called common report is always contradictory, and of course produces a conflict of opinions; the reader acquires no solid information, he becomes the dupe of a faction, or finds himself in total uncertainty. The fall of the celebrated man who is the subject of these sheets has spread has spread universal astonishment; the causes of it have been greedily enquired into, and fame with her double tongue has sported with the credulity of her hearers. You, the citizens of America, have been excited to this enquiry by something more than mere curiosity, and for that reason have been more exposed to deception. To do justice to La Fayette as well as to those who have persecuted him, in the minds of a people who feel such a lively interest in every thing that concerns the honor and welfare of the French nation. I present the public with the following pieces, which contain all that can be said upon the subject. In the notes I have been obliged to subjoin, I have cautiously avoided hinting an opinion; I have every where observed the most scrupulous impartiality, and if the reader would arrive at truth, he must do the same. The speeches of Mr. Brissot and Mr. Vaublanc, considered as orations merely, are perhaps equal, if not superior, to any ever delivered in the National Assembly. As to the translation, if it have any merit, it is in rendering faithfully the sense of the original." (3214006). 1st Edition. Soft cover. Good.
