In his Advertisement at the beginning
the author states that “Le Géographe Américain Jedidiah Morse, qui a fourni à
cet ouvrage les faits géographiques, et un grand nombre d’autres, n’avait rien
négligé pour rendre complette la dernière édition de son American Geography,
imprimée à Londres, en 1794; et il était devenu, sous le rapport de ce travail
qui l’occupait depuis plusieurs années, le centre des informations des Savans
des États-Unis . . .” In a footnote he mentions that “Les excellens Ouvrages de
Tench Coxe et de Thomas Cooper, imprimés à Londres en 1795, me sont parvenus à
tems pour en tirer des faits intéressans.”
Jefferson is not named in this Avertissement, but the
Notes on the State of
Virginia
was one of the source books used, and frequent references to
it occur.
Charles Pictet, known also as Pictet de
Rochemont, 1755-1824, Swiss agriculturalist and writer, served as an officer in
the French army from 1775 to 1785. This work gives a general history of the
United States beginning with the War of Independence, and an account of each
State. At the end is an
Exposé
sommaire des principaux faits qui caractérisent les Américains et leur
pays
, and footnote states: “Le morceau suivant est tiré de l’ouvrage
de Tench Coxe, de Philadelphie, imprimé à Londres, 1795. Il a été écrit à la
fin de l’année 1793, et se trouve aussi dans l’ouvrage de Thomas Cooper.
(Londres 1795.)”
