INTRODUCTION
TRAVELLERS' tales, sober and fantastic, have always commanded the
attention of a numerous reading public. Long after these accounts of
travel have satisfied the immediate curiosity of the public they have yielded up to
historians curious and precious information about new lands and peoples ; they
have, under scholarly analysis, greatly contributed to our understanding of the
evolution of ideas and the formation of public opinion. The accounts of French
missionaries and explorers in America during the seventeenth and early eight-
eenth centuries have for many years engaged the efforts of collectors and schol-
ars. The labors of Reuben G. Thwaites, V. H. Paltsits, Gustave Lanson, Gilbert
Chinard, and GeofFry Atkinson (to mention the most notable of the recent
scholars in the field) have laid the foundations of numerous scientific studies and
have made these materials accessible and familiar to the larger reading public.
No similar amount of attention has yet been devoted to the French travellers in
America during the second hal f of the eighteenth century. Bernard Fay and How-
ard Mumford Jones have utilized, with brilliance and discernment, a part of these
materials in their studies of Franco-American relations.1 Charles H. Sherrill and
Alexandre Capitaine have each devoted a volume to the French visitors of this
period and their impressions.2 None of these studies has been based upon the
extensive collection of materials presented in this bibliography. For the period
after 1800 there has been (with a few notable exceptions) a surprising neglect
of many valuable materials. The writings of French travellers on the United
States from 1765 to 1932 represent a rich and varied collection of materials,
unknown to the general reader and largely unexploited by scholars, especially for
the period of the nineteenth century.
British travellers in the United States are already familiar to the world of
scholarship and to the general reading public. The fact that their works have
presented no difficulties of language has made them interesting and accessible to
the ordinary reader. They have long attracted the attention of American scholars
with the result that the field is largely explored and exploited. Jane Louise
Mesick's The English Traveller in America, 1785-1835 is a competent survey of
a half-century of English observations ; Allan Nevins has recently and very suc-
cessfully surveyed a larger field in his American Social History as Recorded by
British Travellers (New York, 1923) which presents selections, with copious
introductions, from more than a score of the more important accounts. From
many points of view the French travellers represent a more varied and richer
source of materials. Coming from Latin rather than the familiar Anglo-Saxon
backgrounds they brought a different point of view, a new approach, other biases

and prejudices. The observations of many British travellers until the middle of
the nineteenth century were colored by memories of the War of the American
Revolution and the War of 1812. Fortunately this particular kind of asperity
is gone, but it would not be impossible to find, in the twentieth century, British
travellers who still regard the Americans as "colonials" and who observe them
and lecture them with a marked degree of condescension. They have not, how-
ever, been able to maintain an undisputed monopoly of this point of view.
It was enthusiasm rather than bitterness that prejudiced the minds of French
travellers to America during the eighteenth century ; and during the early years
of the nineteenth century many of the travellers were refugees who had found an
asylum in the United States and whose writings were colored by this sentiment of
gratitude. America was the object of the admiration, even veneration, of French
liberals during the nineteenth century, as it was the recipient of the vituperative
attacks of the French Royalists. On the whole, however, the French travellers
maintained a more judicious, and often sympathetic, attitude toward the United
States. It was this that caused Henry T. Tuckerman to make the following
comment : "The social character, the more versatile experience of American life,
assimilate it in a degree, and externally, with that of France, and the climate of
America develops nervous sensibility; while the exigencies of life foster an
adaptive facility, which brings the Anglo-American into more intelligent relations
with the Gallic nature than is possible for a people so egotistic and stolid as the
English to realize. But this partial sympathy does not altogether account for the
French understanding America better : that is owing to a more liberal, a less
prejudiced, a more chivalric spirit; to quicker sympathies, to more scientific
proclivities, to greater candor and humanity among her thinkers. They are far
enough removed in life and character to catch the true moral perspective ; and they
have few, if any, wounds of self-love to impede their sense of justice to a country
wherewith their own history is often congenially and honorably associated." 3
This was written by Tuckerman during the American Civil War and his opinion
had been influenced by contemporary British criticisms of America as well as
by the attitude of the French Liberals toward the Civil War.
It is interesting to contrast this view with an opinion advanced by a reviewer
in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in 1851 : "Frenchmen are very apt to ex-
press great sympathy with, and admiration of, the people of the United States.
This arises from various causes. Some are smitten with their democratic institu-
tions ; some exult in American independence as a triumph over England ; others
assume a share in that triumph, on account of the French auxiliaries in the
American war; whilst others, again, suffer their imaginations to be captivated
by the wonderfully rapid rise and prodigious development of American wealth
and power. It does not require any great amount of sentiment and fancy to get
up this kind of love-at-a-distance." The writer then proceeds to develop the thesis
that there is "a sort of disenchantment in store for those Frenchmen who, after
picturing to themselves the United States as a democratic Utopia, the very para-
dise of the worshippers of Liberty, have occasion to visit the unseen land of their
3 Henry T. Tuckerman, America and Her Commentators (New York, 1864), p. 153-54.
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES ix
affections ... In fact, no two characters can be more antagonistic than those of
Frenchman and American. However strong his predetermination, the former
finds it impossible to be pleased in the country where he had fondly anticipated
so much gratification." 4
These prejudices and preconceptions which Frenchmen have sometimes
brought with them to the United States have been ably discussed by Gilbert
Chinard in his study of "le mirage americain." 5 To some of these travellers the
cruel deception of this "mirage" was at once apparent ; an excellent example of
this sudden disillusionment is found in D'AUemagne, a Parisian who in 1790 was
seduced by the eloquence of a group of Scioto land speculators and who came to
America to settle the lands which he had bought. This same eloquence persuaded
a Parisian engineer, Desjardins, to come to America. Here he lost not only his
time, money, health, and ideals, but his whole respect for humanity. In other
travellers there are symptoms of a more gradual dispelling of this "mirage," but
almost none has failed to note, either in simple surprise or in indignation, the
discrepancy between what he thought he was about to find and what he actually
found. In others this surprise has been translated into enthusiasm.6
Several important facts will assist in the understanding of the favorable views
of the French travellers entertained by Tuckerman and other early writers on
Franco-American relations. The absence of any large collections of materials in
the field and the lack of any adequate bibliographical guides were distinct handi-
caps to any full understanding of the subject. They were forced to rely upon
the better-known accounts, especially those which had been translated into Eng-
lish. And publishers, ever mindful of their public, have usually undertaken the
translations of only the more favorable views. The result is that general readers
and some scholars have been given an incomplete, and hence false, impression
of the attitude of visiting Frenchmen. They have mistaken a small part of the
canvas for the whole panorama. Scholars who have written on Franco-American
relations have tended to minimize the numbers and the value of French views
unfavorable to the United States. Indeed, a lengthy list might be drawn up of
French travellers whose views were, if not distinctly hostile, decidedly uncompli-
mentary to the Americans.7 The great outbursts of sympathetic enthusiasm
engendered by the War of the American Revolution and the World War have
each been followed by periods of relative coolness and even hostility. Especially
does the present period seem melancholy and discouraging, for many of the
present popular French impressions of America have been created by sensational
novelists, cheap journalists and cheaper politicians whose intellectual integrity
may have collapsed under the strain of ambition and the demands of their purse.
At the same time intellectual relations between the two countries have increased

and are increasing and there now exists a large body of French literature, serious
and well-informed, on the United States. It is unfortunate that the voice of these
scholars seems too often to be drowned out by the cheap clamor and the raucous
din for publicity and profits.8 But this is only a temporary condition ; friendly
opinions and counsels will ultimately prevail. Enough has been said to dispel the
erroneous notion that French comment on the United States has been an un-
qualified eulogy. Frequently the hostile literature yields up to the historian some
of his most valuable material. The foundations of Franco-American friendship
are so broad and firm that the towering edifice will hardly be disturbed by the
diatribes of designing politicians, muck-raking journalists, or dyspeptic and dis-
tempered tourists. The interesting fluctuations in French opinion of America
is a subject too complicated for treatment in the present limited space and is one
which I am in the course of developing elsewhere. It is impossible to characterize,
with any degree of exactitude, the hundreds of French travellers who have
written on America ; in the editorial notes I have sometimes taken the opportunity
to comment upon individual travellers.
One observation, however, should be made here. Goethe once remarked to
Eckermann that the Germans were really a queer people, for "by their profound
thoughts and ideas which they seek everywhere and trust, they make life much
more burdensome than is necessary." French thinkers often suffer from a
different virtue : French thought is often clear and very logical ; it seeks the in-
terpretive generalization as a means of simplifying life. This desire to generalize,
which frequently degenerates to a mere love of the epigrammatic, often leads to
curious results in the pages of those commentators who have followed de Tocque-
ville. Not a few critics are bold enough to attempt to superimpose a pattern of
logical thought upon the changing, tumultuous life of these United States.
In the light of the materials contained in this list it must be admitted that the
old generalization about the French being infrequent travellers no longer has any
great degree of truth. Although accurate statistics do not exist for a detailed
comparison, it is evident that the French as travellers would compare very favor-
ably with the English. This bibliography contains more than 1,800 entries, in-
cluding translations and many items of no very great significance. It contains
examples of every type of traveller: soldiers and sailors, either on active service
or upon missions of investigation; missionaries of religion; propagandists of
French culture; merchants and land speculators of all descriptions; immigrants ;
refugees and exiles, fleeing the law, "leaving their country for their country's
good," and escaping political vengeance; official investigators of education, in-
dustry, etc. ; students ; honeymooners ; musicians and actresses ; artists and
litterateurs in search of materials ; lecturers ; adventurers ; those who have come to
seek wives; those who have married Americans; sportsmen; journalists and
publicists who have been brought over by various international foundations to
promote Franco- American relations ; and mere tourists.

man, March, 1931.
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES xi
They have been in the United States for varying periods of time: Le Braz
spent three days in America ; Albert Delaporte remained six days ; Maurice Don-
nay, seventeen ; Georges N. Tricoche spent thirty years here. Volney wrote to
La Revelliere-Lepeaux in 1797: "il me semble impossible d'avoir une idee nette
de ce grand pays a moins de trois ans, surtout pour un frangais." This was
written when the United States was a small, agricultural community. Few trav-
ellers could measure up to this requirement of time, for it is certainly excessive
when we consider that M. Georges Duhamel was able to write one of the most
influential of contemporary books on the United States after a visit of six weeks,
during much of which time he was confined to his rooms by an illness. I have
sometimes indicated in the notes the length of time spent by the traveller in his
observations and travels. The written records of these impressions have taken
many forms : books, pamphlets, articles, letters to friends, thinly-disguised novels,
official reports, published lectures, dramas (such as those of Tapon-Foujas, who
suffered from a mental disorder), memoirs, journals, diaries, and poems, such
as those of E. Prarond and Jacques Henri Pillionel (though these are, fortu-
nately, rare).
The value of the materials here assembled must be studied in detail to be
properly appreciated, for they enrich and embellish many fields of study. They
throw an interesting light upon American social history; they provide new
materials for American political and economic history.
A few of the earlier examples will illustrate this point. The anonymous account
of a French traveller in the colonies in 1765 9 presents one of the few extant
reports of those who heard Patrick Henry's celebrated speech and from this
report we have a new version of that famous event. Three years later John Kalb
arrived in Philadelphia on a secret mission for the French government. Shortly
after his arrival he made an interesting and significant prophecy. In February,
1768, he reported to Choiseul : "All classes of people here are imbued with such
a spirit of independence and freedom from control, that if the provinces can be
united under a common representation, an independent state will soon be formed.
At all events it will certainly come forth in time." 10 Quesnay de Beaurepaire
published in 1788 his project for the establishment of an Academy of Arts and
Sciences at Richmond. In the following decade another French traveller, Tanguy
de la Boissiere, published the first journal of political economy in America, and
J. P. Blanchard, the French aeronaut, accomplished the first successful aerial
flight in the New World.
The materials included in this bibliography form the largest group of first-hand
French observations upon America that has yet been collected. They provide a
field for the study of national psychology. They are a modest contribution to the
bibliography of American travel. These are new materials for the study of
Franco-American relations, a field out of which have already come many brilliant
and fruitful studies and a field which attracts an increasing number of scholars
and students. They point to the desirability and the necessity for detailed studies

of the influence of the United States in France during the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. It should now no longer be possible for a scholar to write on French
Political Thought in the Nineteenth Century, as did Mr. Roger Soltau (New
Haven, 1931 ) and to dismiss the question of American influence by a few vague
and often inaccurate references.
This bibliography is the result of work begun in 1929, the preparation of a
volume on American social history as recorded by French travellers.11 In the
fall of that year I went to Paris to continue my researches. I soon perceived that
some systematic bibliography of the subject was essential for my own work and
that such a bibliography would probably prove useful to students of other fields.
While there was an obvious need for bibliographical treatment of French travel
in the United States, it is surprising that no serious attempts had been made to
compile one. For some years the project of a vast bibliography of American
travel has been agitated by a group of interested American scholars. Much
progress has been made toward this end, but it has been slow, and if it is carried
out along the wise and generous lines suggested by Dr. Solon J. Buck, it will be
some years before the work will finally be completed.12 Henry T. Tuckerman in
his America and Her Commentators, with a Critical Sketch of Travel in the
United States, devoted two chapters, with meagre bibliographical references, to
French travellers and writers on the United States from the period of the Revo-
lution to the Civil War. These chapters, containing frequent errors, discussed
merely the better-known travellers and writers, often without discriminating
between them. Bernard Fay in his Bibliographic critique des ouvrages francais
relatifs aux Etats-Unis, 1770-1800 (Paris, 1925) devotes his attention to the
travels published during those thirty years; the present bibliography contains
many new items for that period that cannot be classified as strictly travel accounts.
It includes a few accounts of eighteenth-century travellers that have been discov-
ered and published since 1800. Henry R. Wagner's The Plains and the Rockies:
A Bibliography of Original Narratives of Travel and Adventure , 1800—1865
(San Francisco, 1921), admirable in plan and execution, contains numerous
omissions for the period and the region which it was seemingly designed to cover.
The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris has no subject catalogue for the greater
part of the period which interests us ; their subject catalogue which begins in the
latter part of the nineteenth century is incomplete and faulty. The Hugh C.

12 For an explanation of this work see "The Bibliography of American Travel: A Project" by
Solon J. Buck in The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, XXII (1928), p. 52-59.
The period to be covered is from 1600 to 1900. Dr. Buck proposes that descriptive items like
Bryce's American Commomvealth be included as well as the mere narrations of travels and that
materials in magazines, in volumes of collections, and even in newspapers be included. He estimates
that the total number of items will be about six thousand. I believe that the total number of items
is seriously underestimated, especially if the bibliography is to contain newspaper materials. Dr.
Chazin, upon inquiry, informs me that during a period of ten years during the nineteenth century
two American correspondents of two Belgian newspapers contributed more than 500 articles.
J. C. Houzeau once estimated that his newspaper contributions on America would fill twelve
volumes. If I might hazard an estimate I would say that Belgian and French items alone would
total more than six thousand. Dr. Buck has recently informed me that the present available funds
will probably carry the work only as far as 1830.
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES xiii
Wallace Library, a valuable collection on Franco-American relations, was then
in formation and possessed no catalogue of its treasures. The American libraries,
somewhat better endowed with catalogues and bibliographical equipment, then
possessed no collections of materials that approached completeness.
The bulk of the materials here presented was first gathered in Paris, where
bibliographical research assumes many interesting forms. Much of the work was
necessarily done in the Bibliotheque Nationale, with its challenging and baffling
immensity, and in other public libraries in Paris. Not a few of the travellers'
books were first discovered in the book stalls on the quays along the Seine ; many
were found and consulted in the collections of various Parisian booksellers whose
kindness and intelligence deserve mention. They frequently threw open their
collections to my examination and assisted me with a degree of affability and
knowledge not so frequently found among their brethren in the United States.
The Librairie fimile Nourry possesses the largest collection of travellers that I
have yet found in France or in the United States ; the Librairie Maurice Chamonal
possesses, among other valuable items, a splendid collection of materials by and
concerning Cabet and Beluze ; M. Chadenat contributed largely to the building
up of the splendid collection formed by the late Hugh C. Wallace under the
direction of Col. Beckles Willson ; M. Alph. Margraff and M. Marcel Blancheteau
have been of great service in unearthing obscure items. The catalogues of various
other Parisian and provincial dealers have yielded up many valuable materials.
The private libraries in Paris were generously opened to me. In the library of
James Hazen Hyde I found items for which I had fruitlessly searched at the
Bibliotheque Nationale. The richest and most complete private library of ma-
terials on Franco-American relations was that presented to the American Em-
bassy in Paris by the late Hugh C. Wallace. With the assistance of Col. Beckles
Willson I examined each of the books and pamphlets that make up this extensive
collection, now housed in the American Embassy. This collection should become,
if properly augmented and administered, a center of Franco-American studies.
When I returned to the United States I was able to examine the voluminous
materials in the possession of The New York Public Library and the Library of
Congress. The catalogues of other libraries in Europe and the United States
were consulted with profit. The many writings on Franco-American relations
supplied further information and suggestions. Sabin was searched item by item
and Lorenz was examined for relevant material. Following the first publication
of this bibliography in the Bulletin of The New York Public Library 13 much new
material was contributed by several libraries and interested scholars: the Library
of Congress, the William L. Clements Library, the John Carter Brown Library,
M. Aegidius Fauteux, chief librarian of the Montreal Public Library, M. Fernand
Baldensperger, of the Sorbonne, and Dr. Edward Larocque Tinker, whose two
recent volumes are notable contributions to Franco-Americana. Since the list
was first published I have been enabled to include more than two hundred new
items, to add several notes, and to correct a few errors. While every effort has
been made to make this list as complete as possible I fully realize that there are
J3 In seven parts from March to October, 1932.

doubtless omissions. I shall gladly welcome further information concerning items
which come within the scope of this bibliography. The success of a project of
such magnitude demands the co-operation of interested scholars and librarians
and I invite the active collaboration of those who are working in the field.
The materials presented many problems that demanded solutions. There were
numerous anonymous books and pamphlets; I have been able to establish the
authorship of several.14 There sometimes existed a serious confusion of names
that I have been able to disentangle.15 Several of the books have been republished
under various titles ; others have been republished, but with the addition of new
materials. I have tried to indicate these changes in the various notes. A problem
that presented many difficulties was the separation of those who had actually
travelled in the United States from those who merely seemed to have travelled.
Literary history contains numerous examples of authors who have written
books of travel without ever having ventured beyond their local libraries. Daniel
Coxe, a seventeenth-century English land speculator, wrote in his Account of
New Jersey that he had "made greate discoveryes towards the greate Lake . . .
and contracted Freinshipp with diverse petty Kings . . ." but we know that these
events were experienced where they were written : in the quiet of his study in
Aldersgate Street, London. The task of recognizing these sedentary tourists is
a difficult one ; nor does the evidence supplied by the text always provide a means
of recognizing them. They do not directly say they have travelled in the regions
which they describe, but they frequently desire (from a variety of motives) to
give the impression that they are relating actual experiences and observations.
In 1863 there was published in Paris a book which described the experiences of a
Parisian family suddenly transported to the United States : Paris en Amerique,
by Dr. Rene Lefebre. It was filled with humor, piquant anecdote, and sagacious
observations upon American political and social life. Americans then residing
in Paris took it to be the work of a Frenchman who had long resided in the United
States. Beginning with the eighth edition, published early in 1864, the book
carried the name of its real author, fidouard Laboulaye, a distinguished professor
at the College de France. It was difficult to determine, in Paris in 1930, whether
or not Laboulaye had ever visited the United States. There were neither biblio-
graphical nor biographical data available ; invitations were found asking Labou-
laye to visit the United States and there were abundant indications that he wished
to come. Obituaries revealed nothing on the question. One day, however, in the
British Museum I found Mary L. Booth's English translation of his book and
in the preface the brief statement that he had never been in the United States,
though his knowledge of America was greater than that of any other European.
His book continues to fool the unwary : as late as 1900, Edmond de Nevers speaks
of Laboulaye as one of the most important of those "touristes europeens lettres
qui ont traverses l'Atlantique."

Addenda.
15 Such as that between the Abbe Robin and Qaude C. Robin.
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES xv
Even more baffling are the deliberate fabrications such as that of Price Collier.
In 1897 there was published in London and New York an anonymous book,
America and the Americans from a French Point of View. In the dedication the
author states : "It may seem strange to the readers of some of these pages that I
dedicate this little book to you, an American ... I lay my prejudices as a French-
man at your feet ..." In the preface he states that he is a member of an old
French family, that he has allowed these pages to be translated upon condition
that his identity remain hidden ; "it is enough that a Frenchman . . . writes them."
It required almost two days of research, with visits to the Paris office of the
London Times, to discover that this was a literary hoax. The author, although
educated in Switzerland and Germany, had been born in America, had been a
newspaper correspondent and had served in the United States Navy during the
Spanish-American War. Fortunately the problem of M. Charles Bastide, who
during 1918-19 published a series of twelve books on contemporary American
civilization, was settled by a letter from the author in which he expressed his
regret that he had never visited the United States.
My file of discarded items contains several hundred titles which have been
examined and omitted from this bibliography because I could find no credible
evidence of their actual travels in the United States. When authorities have
referred to authors as travellers and I have not been able to establish the fact that
they were actually in America I have frequently expressed, in the notes, doubts
of their travels.
During the course of my investigations I compiled lengthy lists of French
travellers in the United States who seemingly left no published records of their
observations and impressions. We would be willing to give much had some of
these travellers left their impressions. Franqois Louis Michel Deforgues, French
minister at New Orleans under Napoleon, might have said much concerning life
in Louisiana at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but he wrote nothing
during a lengthy life of considerable leisure. Louis Marie Turreau de Garambou-
ville, who fought in the War of the American Revolution and who was French
Minister to the United States from 1804 to 1811, has left no published account
of the many events of which he was a close observer. The Marquis de Grouchy,
who lived in America from 1815 to 1821, wrote virtually nothing on the United
States, although he lived for another twenty-six years after his return to France.
In the course of time it is probable that unpublished manuscripts of other French
travellers will be discovered and published, especially when the French consular
and diplomatic archives are further opened to investigators. The Hugh C. Wal-
lace Collection contains a valuable manuscript of Crevecceur which is worthy of
separate publication. Manuscript letters of other travellers are probably scat-
tered throughout various collections. An example of this is the manuscript letter
of Pierre Franqois de Real now contained in the John Boyd Thacher Collection
in the Library of Congress. The Comte de Real lived in exile in the United States
from 1816 to 1827 when he returned to Paris. Although he wrote his memoirs
at length it is curious to observe that he makes no mention of the United States.
xvi THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
More significant then is this letter written from Le Havre May 24, 1827 and
addressed to Philip Hone of New York :
". . . The moment I again saw this France from which I had been
exiled eleven years ago my first thought, I confess, was not for my old
fatherland. I turned toward the West, and, my heart filled with grati-
tude, I paid homage to that other country, the United States, and the
State of New York especially, which so generously gave hospitality to
the outcast. At this moment when I re-enter France, more than ever
before, I am convinced that it is to the sole kindness, to the all-powerful
intervention of the American revolution, that the victims of revolutions
and counter-revolutions which stain old Europe with blood, will be
obligated for their escape from that scaffold which vengeance always
raises after political convulsions. Without the United States there
would be no shelter for the outcast but that of prison, no repose but that
of the tomb.
"Tranquillity, happiness, liberty, independence, security: these are
the words which in their full meaning and significance are thoroughly
understood only in the United States, where one meets neither peasant
nor pauper, where one enters without passport and leaves without per-
mission, where one sees neither Jesuit nor gendarme, etc., etc.
"Ah! how I am going to make haste to terminate my affairs here!
How impatient am I already to return to those forests where I spent
eleven years so free and independent, so tranquil and happy, or to those
friends who have been so thoughtful and so indulgent to me ; and espe-
cially to you, kind sir, and to your family where I was received and
where my daughter was cared for with such kindness and such perfect
affection . . ."
In the bibliography which follows I have endeavored to include all the French
travellers who have left printed accounts of their voyages and experiences in the
regions now comprised within the United States from 1765 to 1932. The year
1765 has been selected as the anterior date because at that time the movement
which culminated in independence was already in motion and was being closely
observed by French travellers and as early as 1768 Kalb predicted that inde-
pendence was inevitable. This bibliography is an attempt to gather together all
the writing on the United States by French authors who have had the opportunity
of actual contact with and observation of life in its variegated aspects in America.
It is not confined to the reports of the mere travels themselves, but is meant to
include all writings in which the influence of their travels and observations is
expressly stated or in which that influence can be definitely traced. All such
materials, when they have been published in the form of books or pamphlets,
including reprints from periodicals, have been sought. Purely scientific studies,
such as Ferussac's Observations sur la synonymie des co quill es bivalves de
YAmerique septentrionale ( Paris, 1835 ) , have been omitted from this work, even
though the researches upon which they are based might have been carried out
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES xvii
in the United States. This list is not to be understood as being restricted to
travellers who were born in France or who became French citizens. It includes
those neighboring peoples who have been greatly influenced by French civilization
and who use the French language : many of the Belgians and the Swiss, who are,
for the present purposes, distinguishable from native Frenchmen only with con-
siderable difficulty. It contains accounts written in French by French-Canadian
travellers and by travellers from other territories essentially French in their
culture. Infrequently it includes travellers of other nationalities when those
travellers have originally written in French ; I have tried to indicate in the notes
the origins of these travellers. I have excluded authors born in the United States
of French parentage; the exceptions to this exclusion are several Louisiana
writers who frequently went to France and who were far more French than they
were American. In the matter of Frenchmen who have migrated and settled in the
United States I have fixed arbitrary limits for inclusion. If, for example, a
French lad has been brought to the United States at the age of twelve, has settled
down and become Americanized, and at the age of seventy has recorded his
memories of an active and useful life, I have excluded that material. But, if a
Frenchman has lived long enough in France to acquire a French background and
a French outlook, has migrated to the United States and has written of his ex-
periences during his early years here, I have included that material, for it usually
illustrates the interplay of two cultures. I have included such material even
though that particular traveller may later have become a naturalized American
citizen. It is obvious that it is impossible to establish hard and fast rules for
including and excluding the type of material that I have assembled in this
bibliography.
No effort has been made to search through the periodicals and newspapers after
1800 to discover travellers' accounts, but for travellers who were in the United
States anterior to 1800 their writings have been sought and included regardless
of where those materials first found publication. Many eighteenth-century
French travellers' accounts have been published in later periodicals and in the
journals of learned societies; others have been utilized by various authors in
books and articles, and where these latter contain extended excerpts from un-
published manuscripts of travellers they have been included.
The fact that this same procedure has not been followed for the periods after
1800 does not represent such an omission as might be supposed, for the French
have long had the custom of reprinting important magazine articles in brochure
form — and where these newspaper and periodical articles have formed a series
they have frequently been reprinted in book form. Dr. Maurice Chazin of Co-
lumbia University has made a study of the American materials in French and
Belgian periodicals of the nineteenth century; this study deserves to find its way
into print at an early date, for it will notably increase our knowledge of Franco-
American relations during that period.
The materials are arranged alphabetically by authors and, in the case of anony-
mous items, by titles, with necessary cross-references. For convenient reference
each item has been numbered ; "A" and "B" numbers have been provided for items
xviii THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
which were inserted after the original numbering had been made. The great
majority of the items have been seen and examined by the editor. An attempt
has been made to locate copies in two American libraries. Material in The New
York Public Library is indicated by the proper classmarks. I have tried to make
a complete check of the materials in the Library of Congress, because their collec-
tions are large and the majority of their material is available for inter-library loan.
Where the two copies have not been located in The New York Public Library and
the Library of Congress I have attempted to locate copies in other American
libraries. The compilation of this useful information locating copies in the
various American libraries is partly the work of Daniel C. Haskell of The New
York Public Library and partly the work of the staff of the Union Catalog in
the Library of Congress. Before the list was first published it was checked by
Mr. Haskell and after the first publication it was again checked, together with the
inserted items and the Addenda, by the staff of the Union Catalog.16 I have in-
dicated the source of my bibliographical information for the items of which no
copies have been found. When material has been found in serial publications I
have given no location other than the classmark of the material in The New
York Public Library. In the last analysis, of course, it is possible to tell whether
or not a desired book is in a particular library only by consulting the catalogues
of that library, for books are sometimes mislaid and lost and additions are con-
stantly being made to the collections of the principal libraries.
Where possible I have attempted to include rather full bibliographical infor-
mation. Since my notes on items which I examined in the Bibliotheque Nationale
in the early stages of my work did not always include sufficient detailed infor-
mation I have sometimes been forced to rely upon the printed catalogue of the
Bibliotheque Nationale; the earlier volumes of this catalogue contain but meagre
bibliographical information. Hence there is a certain paucity of details concerning
some of the items not available in American libraries. At other times I have been
forced to rely upon the information supplied by correspondents, and this
information has varied in the degree of completeness. Many of the entries are
followed by brief notes. For the better-known travellers comment was super-
fluous. Some items adequately describe themselves in their titles; others are
described by a brief summary of their table of contents. A few of the items
have required more lengthy notes. I have not attempted to list all the editions of
an item unless the later editions contain revisions, new materials, or illustrations
not included in the first. Although no exhaustive search has been made for trans-
lations, I have included them when found. When there are two or more entries
under the same author, the items have, if possible, been arranged chronologically.
Translations immediately follow the entry for the French title.
!6 This Union Catalog of the Library of Congress is an extraordinary and comparatively recent
development destined to be of almost unlimited service to the world of scholarship. It contained
(according to recent statistics) 13,000,000 cards from over 500 American libraries. Of these cards
8,500,000 represented the locations of more than 7,000,000 different book titles in over 500 libraries.
This is not only the largest card catalogue in the world, but it is also the most complete catalogue
of materials in the Library of Congress. Those who avail themselves of the services of this catalogue
will be delighted, as I have been, with the cordial and intelligent co-operation extended by Dr. Ernest
Kletsch, the director, and Mr. George A. Schwegmann, jr., the assistant director.
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES xix
In the description of formats, difficulties arose which are still without solution.
There is no uniform method of describing formats employed by the French
publishers, the Bibliotheque Nationale, the British Museum, and the American
libraries. The latter have recently adopted the practice of describing the size by
giving the measurements in centimeters : a logical procedure, but one alien to
European library methods. Frequently the same item will be described by the
publishers as in one format, by the Bibliotheque Nationale as another, and by the
British Museum as yet a third. Nor is it always possible to translate French
terms into what seems to be their English equivalents. "In-12" cannot always
be described as "12�." In the midst of this confusion I have usually given the
format as described by the catalogue of the library whose copy T have consulted.
I regret the necessity of this procedure, but the reader will gain from the various
entries an approximate idea of the format of the various items.
A final count of the corrected bibliography17 reveals 1,806 title entries. This
includes the various editions of an item and includes the various translations that
are listed. Of this total there are 267 titles that have not yet been located in any
library in the United States or Canada. These titles do not seem to be available
in American or Canadian libraries, but frequently the text is available in another
edition or a translation. Of this total of 1,806 title entries there are 586 not yet
available in The New York Public Library, but a further check reveals that the
texts of 167 of these items are available in The New York Public Library in
other editions, translations, and periodical form. These statistics require revision
as new additions are made to the collections of the Library.
At the end of the regular list will be found a valuable Addenda. This is made
up of new entries and of new information concerning items that appear in the
regular list. This was made necessary by the fact that the final sheets of the
earlier parts of the regular list were printed as quickly as possible. For all names
and entries the Addenda should be consulted as well as the regular list. A few
errors have been noted in the Corrigenda ; they consist principally of minor
misspellings. In the hope of facilitating the consultation of the materials con-
tained in this bibliography I have added a selected chronological list of travellers
and an index of subjects and names of persons and places. Despite their limited
scope I feel they will be useful.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the many friendly debts I have incurred during
the course of my work. My special thanks are due to : The American Field Service
Foundation, whose grant of a fellowship in 1929 enabled me to pursue my work
in Paris; Mr. Worthington C. Ford; Col. Beckles Willson, curator of the Hugh
C. Wallace Collection ; Mr. James Hazen Hyde, who for more than thirty years
has labored to promote Franco-American relations; Professor Bernard Fay of
the College de France ; MM. Chamonal, Chadenat, Blancheteau, and Clavreu'il,
scholars and booksellers, of Paris ; Madame Paul Vulliaud of the Librairie fimile
Nourry; Dr. Maurice Chazin, whose knowledge and friendly assistance have
been of constant value ; Mr. Robert R. Finster, editor of publications, The New

ought to have been deleted from the bibliography. See the Corrigenda.
xx THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
York Public Library; Mr. Daniel C. Haskell of The New York Public Library,
resourceful and tireless in locating new materials as in editing and proofreading
this bibliography ; and to the staffs of the various libraries in Europe and America
in which I have spent many pleasant hours, and without whose efforts the work of
scholars would seldom reach successful conclusions. Since this bibliography
first began publication in the Bulletin of The New York Public Library more than
a year ago I have contracted a number of additional debts which I am happy to
acknowledge: Professor Fernand Baldensperger, of the Sorbonne; M. Aegidius
Fauteux, chief librarian of the Montreal Public Library; Mr. Lawrence C.
Wroth, of the John Carter Brown Library; Dr. Randolph G. Adams and Miss
Elizabeth B. Steere, of the William L. Clements Library; Dr. Edward Larocque
Tinker, of New York City ; Dr. Ernest Kletsch and Mr. George A. Schwegmann,
jr., of the Union Catalog of the Library of Congress; Mr. Max J. Kohler of
New York City; Mr. Nathan Shiff and Miss Naomi J. Levenson for assistance
in the compilation of the index. The spirit of friendly co-operation among
scholars and librarians is one of the substantial pleasures of scholarly endeavor.
I take this occasion to thank in advance others who may be induced to co-operate
in supplying new materials for this bibliography or in pointing out errors that
it may contain. I owe, as do other workers in the field, a special debt of gratitude
to The New York Public Library for this opportunity of publication and for the
intelligence and liberality with which it has seen fit to augment its collection of
the writings of French travellers in the United States.
To my wife, who has tolerated and encouraged this innocuous form of biblio-
mania, I offer this bibliography as an apology for many silent hours.

AlMARD, GUSTAVE, PSEUD. OF OLIVIER GlOUX.
Gustave Aimard was the pen name of Olivier Gloux
(1818-1883), who is usually referred to as Aimard. He
was a prolific author whose works attained such popu-
larity in France, England, and the United States that
he became more than a mere author and rose to the
dimensions of an industry. He was known as the
French Fenimore Cooper; certainly he deserves a high
place among the imitators of Cooper. He spent long
periods in North and South America, periods which
are said to total more than twenty years. He visited
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, California, Texas
and possibly other regions which are now part of the
United States. His first visit to the United States
was from 1835 to 1845; he returned again about 1850.
Through his many volumes he managed to convey
to the Old World a considerable knowledge of Indian
customs and of life on the frontier. What modern
literary research has been devoted to Aimard (and that
has not been much) reveals him to have had a sur-
prising knowledge of life and customs in the South-
west. His novels can, with certain reservations, be
taken to accurately portray certain aspects of pioneer
and frontier life. Aimard's views on the United States
were most interesting: he saw in America the land of
liberty and theoretical philanthropy, a land where the
t 1]
THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
AlMARD, G., PSEUD., Continued
people had one God, the God Dollar. He early accused
the Americans of imperialist designs, designs that would
bring the entire continent under American domination.
The usual conclusion of travellers: that we were in-
sufferable puritans — did not escape him. The greatest
virtue of the Americans was their conquering energy
that was transforming a continent. Virgil L. Jones
has written in the Southwestern Reviciv (xv, 1930,
p. 452-68) a study of Aimard.
The list that follows is, I believe, the first attempt
to compile a bibliography of Aimard's writings touching
the regions now a part of the United States. The total
of his various writings is large: the NYPL catalogue
lists more than 70 titles; the new catalogue of the BM
contains more than 175 entries; the catalogue of the
BN lists 238 entries. Both the collections of the BM
and the BN have important omissions; nor can a com-
plete bibliography be compiled from all these collections.
In the following list the original French editions are
arranged chronologically; each original edition is fol-
lowed by translations, chiefly drawn from the collec-
tion of the NYPL. At the end of the list will be found
several translations for which I have been unable to
find the French originals, together with the several
books in which Aimard collaborated with J. B. d'Auriac.
Aimard frequently borrowed materials from one book to
fill another. For a more complete view of Aimard's
productions consult the catalogues of the above-men-
tioned libraries.

Nouvelles du Scioto, ou Relation fidele du

Paris: Chez Lenoir et Leboucher, Aoust 1790.
16 p. in-8. 87
The author was twenty years old when he first
became enchanted by the advertisements of the Scioto
Land Company. With a large number of emigrants
he sailed from Le Havre in February, 1790. Early in
May they arrived in Chesapeake Bay, but after a most
miserable crossing. In Alexandria they found neither
food nor drink — nor the agents of the Scioto enter-
prise, whom they expected to meet there. Two members
of the group sent to New York did not return; the
others considered travelling to Scioto, but were deterred
by the stories of vast deserts, of savage Indians, of
"ferocious beasts, tigers, bears, and flying serpents"
that infested the region. They determined to return to
France; the greater part of the group were forced to
remain in Virginia, the others reached Paris in July,
and were cured of "la folie de Scioto."

The author almost perished of seasickness and his
eloquent denunciation of the sea as a highway of travel
is a prelude to a generally ill-humored attack. The more
important chapters treat: temperance in Maine, slavery
and the Blacks, gallantry in America, flirtation, fine
arts in America, social positions, cemeteries, William
Penn, and Stephen Girard. In a chapter of concluding
advice to his countrymen he advocates the criminal
prosecution of all authors who contribute to the legend
of a rich, democratic, and happy America.

Ampere was the son of the distinguished scientist
and held a professorship of literature at the College de
France. He first conceived the idea of visiting America
from meeting Fanny Kemble. He found in America
the materials to justify and support the theories of his
intimate friend, de Tocqueville, to whom he dedicated
the two volumes. His observations are intelligent, some-
times shrewd, and often witty. He met the most dis-
tinguished American scientists, publicists, and authors,
but his travels were confined to the northeastern states.
He was so fascinated by the beauty of the American
cemeteries that he wished to die and be buried in one,
Ereferably at Mount Auburn, Mass. On second thought
e states that he would prefer being at Cambridge and
getting a professorship there. The lyric advertisements
of the pork industry in Cincinnati reminded him of
the poetry of Dante.

THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
Asmodee, pseud., continued
in the 1860's has been neglected by historians. The
identity of the author has never been discovered: nor
do the records of the French publisher contribute to
elucidate the mystery. Several authors have written

significant Parisian journalist, and Villebort, the Pa-

The author chose to convey his impressions of
American life in a series of short stories, of which
the actual plots are of little consequence. He was a
liberal with republican sentiments, and, although his
comments are often incisive and severe, he was sympa-
thetic to the American experiment. Kentucky is the
background of Acacia: New York and the Scioto lands,
of Les Butterfly; and Baltimore of Une fantaisie
americaine, an amusing burlesque of social life in that
city.

The author complains that too many French writers
have described the ideal American republic and not the
real one, and states that if one comes to America
expecting much he will find nothing; if he expects
nothing, he will find a little. She was a republican
before visiting America, but as a result of her ob-
servations she concluded that such a form of govern-
ment would never do for France. Petty annoyances
colored her opinions of American social life: she states
that the most conspicuous thing about a Yankee is the
soles of his feet; that the Yankee expectorates once a
minute — and is the champion of the world. American
men seemed odious to her; American women, exactly
opposite. She praised American railways, declaring
that the Pacific Railroad was one of the few great
achievements of the century.

gold. He studied the mines, the miners, and the In-
dians. He found thousands of Frenchmen who were
stranded in California. The religious revivals which
he witnessed he thought were worthy of the middle
ages. Lauds the generous and noble instincts of the
Americans.

Baldensperger, Fernand.
M. Baldensperger, professor at the Sorbonne and a
corresponding member of the Institut, is co-director of
the Revue de litterature comparee. He has fre-
quently been in the Tinted States, where he has held
appointments at Harvard and at Columbia University.
He has written widely and brilliantly upon literary
history and literature and has been one of the most
active of a small group of distinguished scholars who
have established the study of comparative literature.
For his reviews and articles upon American literature
and Franco-American relations, as well as his im-
pressions of America and Americans, see the recent
bibliography, Publications de M. Fernand Balden-
sperger . . ., Paris, 1930 (reprinted from Melanges . . .
offerts a Fernand Baldensperger, Paris, 1930, tome

Paul Joseph Guerard de Nancrede is thought to
have been an officer in Rochambeau's army; he taught
French at Harvard beginning in 1787. He wrote his
L'Abeillc francaise for his Harvard students in 1792.
While in Boston he founded a bookstore and a news-
paper, Le Courrier de Boston, which he continued for
seven months. He later moved to Philadelphia.

Rachel Felix, the French actress, went on an English
and American tour under the management of her
brother, Raphael Felix. Her French Company was
well attended in America, but not well appreci-
ated. New York is described as a very sad city and
Boston, where her success was greater, as literary and
cultured. Fires seemed to be one of the chief American
amusements and firemen were always on some kind of
exhibition.

Les femmes d'Amerique. Paris: Blanchard,
1853. 96 p. in-16. 173
The modesty of American women has become vanity
and their tenderness cupidity. For an European family
life does not exist in America, for here the family has
lost all authority. Marriage and divorce are simple
and frequent. In the United States female education
is founded on an exact knowledge of things, in decided
contrast to that in Europe. The European woman has
an exalted imagination: she loves the ideal man and
lives in a fictive world. The American woman is a
realist and not a poetess; she expects nothing very
marvelous from a man. In countries that live by
illusions poets succeed because they have most illusions,
but in the United States it is the mathematicians who
ought to succeed.

Bernard, Simon. 200
Simon Bernard, French general and military engi-
neer, was exiled and came to the United States in 1816,
where he became a brigadier-general in the American
army. He was in charge of planning an extensive
system of coast defenses, in which he was eminently
successful. Fort Monroe in Virginia was designed by
Simon. With the accession of Louis Philippe he re-
turned to France. It is to be regretted that he did not
find the time to write on American conditions; he was
endowed with great intelligence and an agreeable style.
See his letter on American conditions dated from New
York April IS, 1818 and addressed to M. Huart, p. 199-
202 of Georges Bertin, Joseph Bonaparte en Amerique.

Memoires d'un Mormon. Paris: E. Jung
[1862,. 329 p. in- 18. 212
This is the first book by a French Mormon. The
author combines the history of Joseph Smith with his
own experiences in Utah. He became an ardent
propagandist of the faith in France, where he trans-
lated many Mormon documents into French. Previous
to his conversion in 1850 he had spent seven years
in the New World and had returned to Paris where
he became editor of the Populaire. A Mormon mis-
sionary visited him in Paris and converted him; with
four other converts he was baptised on Dec. 1, 1850.
After this he left his wife in Paris and went to live
for four years in Utah.

Biarnes states that he can tell the truth about the
United States, because he expects neither honors, gifts,
nor favors there. He lived in the South for ten years.
When he went to the United States he was a repub-
lican; he is still a slavery man. His entire attitude
is colored by the American attitude toward French
intervention in Mexico and he warns Mr. Seward
that Napoleon III will spank him, if he does not mend
his ways. Mexico is the Poland of the new world,
states the author, and the United States is the Russia
that first disorganizes and then conquers. He hopes
that the South will again rise up and triumph against
the North. The cause of all the troubles in the South
came with the arrival of the Abolitionists, wretched
sentimentalists. All the wicked and corrupt people in
the States united against the honest minority and be-
came Abolitionists. From the immense confidence of
the Americans comes an energy that nothing can stop.
American education makes counterfeits of Plutarch's
heroes. Everything in America runs to an excessive
individualism. Education is often a bad thing for
a nation; fortunately the French have been able to get
along quite well merely by instinct.

Reissued in 1918 as Extra number 64, [part 1],
of the Magazine of history with notes and queries.
This is undoubtedly one of the most curious and
interesting items of travel in the LTnited States. It is
the narrative of the first successful aerial flight in
America. The author was a Frenchman who had made
many successful ascensions in various European cities
and who was the first to cross the English Channel
by air from France to England. In his ascension from
Philadelphia he flew a distance of about fifteen miles
in little more than forty minutes. It is worthy of note
that the first person to accomplish an aerial flight in
America was equipped with a passport from President
Washington, who displayed great interest in the ex-
periment.
It would seem that there were three editions of this
pamphlet published during 1793. Evans states that
there was a French edition, but locates no copy. The
reprint of the pamphlet in the Magazine of history-
quotes verse from an earlier and less complete edition
in English.

visited the United States. In the introduction to this
volume he states that he is favorably impressed with
cultural activities in America; that libraries are every-
where being formed; and that all contain French books.
The French impression that all Americans are mer-
chants is explained by the fact that almost all French-
men who come to America come on business. In his
opinion France is much better understood in America
than is America in France.

Bossu, Nicolas.
Bossu served as a soldier with the comte de Schon-
berg in many parts of Europe; he fought in the wars
in Italy and distinguished himself at the battle of
Chateau-Dauphin, July 19, 1744, where he was seri-
v ously wounded. For almost ten years he was stationed
with the French army in Louisiana, where he had much
time to explore and observe. He first sailed from La
Rochelle December 26, 1750, for the new world and
did not arrive back in France until June 15, 1757. He
returned to America a second time, arriving at New
Orleans August 12, 1758 and not returning to France
until late in 1762; he had landed in Spain November 1
of that year. His third voyage was a private enter-
prise; he arrived in New Orleans at the end of May,
1770 and had returned to Bordeaux by August, 1771.
The importance of his voyages has long been recognized.

Boucard was a Frenchman who spent many years
in England and who wrote with equal facility in both
French and English. This interesting volume of rem-
iniscences was privately published in English in Lon-
don; I can find no evidence that there was a French
edition. He first visited San Francisco in 1851, and
of this visit he has left a lengthy description. During
1853 and 1854 he lived in New York City. He made
several other voyages to the United States, the last in
1876.

Left the United States to go to Santo Domingo in

Pennsylvania, went down the Mississippi, and finally
to Kentucky and back to New Orleans.

When M. Bourget first came to the United States
in the summer of 1893 he had already achieved con-
siderable reputation as a novelist. He remained in
America almost a year while travelling throughout the
country. He was a guest in many distinguished houses;
he knew many prominent Americans, among whom
was James Gordon Bennett, owner of the New York
Herald. Bourget's impressions of America were first
published in English from Sept. 23, 1894 to Feb. 17,
1895. Before their publication was ended they were
attacked bitterly by Mark Twain in the January, 1895,
number of the North American review. The controversy
thus begun was ended by an article of Max O'Rell in
the March number of the North American review.

Carlier, Augusts.
Visited the United States from 1855 to 1857. He
travelled extensively in America where he enjoyed the
friendship of many distinguished Americans of the
period. Carlier was a member of the American Philo-
sophical Society. While in the United States he kept
a detailed diary which, still in manuscript form, richly
deserves publication.

De l'esclavage dans ses rapports avec l'union

Here Carlier maintains that all French ideas of
America have been turned a bit from reality by de
Tocqueville, who represented the United States as a
political Eldorado. This is a statement that could hardly
have been made two years earlier. There are great
things which France does not know about the LTnited
States; these things they are now learning. In Car-
lier's opinion there was an excellent argument to be
advanced for the separation of the North and the South.
He clearly understood that the emancipation of the
slaves was not a solution of the problem of the negroes,
but that it merely changed its aspect. Once they were
freed there must be a method of saving them.

This was published posthumously with an intro-
ductory memoir on Carlier written by Claudio Jannet,
who completed several chapters left unfinished at the
time of the author's death. This history was the chief
concern of Carlier for the last twenty years of his life.
Carlier states that among modern nations the Ameri-
cans are the people best placed and in the most favorable
circumstances to exert a great influence on the future
of the world. America is a vast field of study for the
philosopher, the economist, the historian. He is able
to give important modifications upon de Tocqueville's
ideas on the family and marriage in America.

In this sympathetic pamphlet the author states that
there is not a day but one hears, no matter where he
is, some disparagement of the United States. It is the
fashion to blame them for something. It is the fashion
to regard them as a troop of pirates who do nothing
but go bankrupt, travel on steamboats, and fight with
revolvers in the streets. In his opinion the more one
studies the Americans the more one is impressed with
their qualities, their real grandeur, and their great
future. Carrey found that generosity was the base of
American character. Everywhere he found literacy,
knowledge and equality. And in America he witnessed
a great sympathy for France.

The author, a Belgian, was an inveterate traveller.
He was attracted to the United States by the great
Chicago Exposition of 1893. He arrived in the United
States in May, 1893, and left in July of the same year.
Although he shook the hand of President Cleveland
he was not favorably impressed by the people in Amer-
ica, for he found them all oppressed by the terrific
struggle for life, and turned with pleasure to medi-
tating how sweet and deep must be the sleep in an
American cemetery.

Both volumes are diverting and amusing and have

by marrying a wealthy American heiress; divorce forced
him to cultivate that "art" (of which both these volumes

from religious persecution in Switzerland late in the
16th century. He was the first agent for the Holland
Land Company in the United States. He subscribed
to the project which brought Brissot de Warville to the

Cestre, Charles.
Professor Cestre, one of the best-known French
authorities on American affairs, holds the chair of
American Literature and Civilization at the Sorbonne.
His pamphlet on Harvard L'niversity, a lecture in
printed form, written while he was an instructor at
the University of Dijon, attracted wide attention and
comment at the time of its publication. He had just
returned from two years of graduate work at Harvard;
he was the first French student to complete his graduate
studies in English in an American university. Fol-
lowing his return to France he lectured and wrote
extensively, especially in La Revue de I'enseigncment
superieur, on American universities. When the chair
of American studies was established at the Sorbonne
in 1918 he was the logical candidate for the post, which
he has held since that time. For the other writings
of Professor Cestre, not contained in this bibliography,

The NYPL copy has a mutilated title-page; the im-
print is wanting. This copy belonged to the Marquise
de Marbois — nee Elizabeth Moore — and contains
her signature. The Harvard Library copy, of which
the title-page is reproduced elsewhere in this bibliogra-
phy, has an added interest because it was presented
by Edouard Laboulaye to Charles Sumner. This title
is one of the rarest items of Franco-Americana. It was
printed on the press of the French fleet at Newport
in an edition of from 24 to 27 copies to save the trouble
of making manuscript copies which Chastellux wished to
circulate among his friends in Europe.

Chateaubriand, Franqois August Rene,
vicomte DE.
For the interesting and highly-complicated questions,
both historical and literary, concerning Chateaubriand's
visit to America see under Kate Emma Armstrong,
Gilbert Chinard, and Fernand Baldensperger, the most
recent and competent authorities. Victor Giraud and
Joseph Bedier have also made important contributions
to the study of the early career of Chateaubriand.
The narrative of his travels is found in his Voyage
en Amerique (1826) and in the first volume of his
Mcmoires d'Outre-Tombe (1849). But the "nouvelle
muse" which he found in America, instead of the North-
west Passage, provided the inspiration for Atala (1801),
Rene (1805), and Les Natchez (written about 1797,
published in 1826).
Any detailed bibliography of Chateaubriand's writ-
ings would approach the size of a small volume. An
adequate and convenient bibliography is supplied by the
printed catalogue of the BN which contains some 713
entries. The items listed below are composed chiefly
of a few interesting editions of his writings on America
and other writings in which the influence of his Ameri-
can experience is most marked. For a more complete
idea of the collections of the NYPL on this subject
consult the card catalogues.

Chevalier, Henri �mile.
Chevalier lived in the United States and Canada
from 1850 until March, 1860, when he returned to
France to recuperate from an illness caused by over-
work. His ten years in America were filled with activ-
ity. He was a novelist, journalist, translator, geog-
rapher, geologist, historian, and tourist. He was one
of the editors of the Courrier des Etats-Unis at New
York and was a correspondent of I'Orleanis at New
Orleans. In these two papers many of his novels
received their first publication. While in America
he is said to have published more than twenty volumes,
among which were La Vie a New-York in six volumes
and Les Deserts de V Amerique septentrionale in two
volumes. Sabin locates no copies of these works, nor
have I been able to locate copies or even definite
bibliographical information concerning them. Dionne
in his Canadian bibliography does not mention the
works of Chevalier that are reported to have been pub-
lished at Montreal.

Chevalier, Michel.
Chevalier (1806-1879), celebrated French economist,
was an important follower of Saint Simon, the founder
of modern socialism. He became active in the movement
and in 1830 became editor of Le Globe, a Parisian
daily newspaper. When the school at Menilmontant
was broken up by the authorities he was sentenced by
a French court to six months' imprisonment. M. Thiers,
under the advice of Legrand, sent him to the United
States to study railroads. He arrived in America in
December, 1833, and remained until October, 1835.
America charmed him from the day of his arrival.
"La vie en France est une perpetuelle station — ici
e'est un voyage perpetuel." Here he found a new
world, where the past had not yet imposed an oppressive
routine and where there were no great privileges of
birth. His letters addressed to the Journal des Debats
were very successful and established his reputation.
These letters were republished and form about a third
of the text of Les Lettres sur I' Amerique du Nord.
During his lengthy career as publicist and professor
he was constantly occupied in promoting the relations
between France and the United States. Among his
contemporaries he enjoyed a reputation equal to that
of his two distinguished contemporaries, de Tocqueville

Chinard, Gilbert.
The study of Franco-American relations is indebted
to no one scholar more than to Gilbert Chinard, pro-
fessor of French Literature at Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity. His editorial labors have made available to the
world of scholarship many unpublished manuscripts of
Volney, Du Pont de Nemours, La Fayette, and Jeffer-
son. His original contributions first opened up the
field for the study of "l'exotisme americain" in French
literature from the sixteenth to the nineteenth cen-
turies. His recent activities include a biography of
Thomas Jefferson and a forthcoming study of John
Adams.

This uncommon pamphlet, which has neither pub-
lisher, printer, place nor date of publication was
doubtless printed in the latter part of 1793 or the
beginning of 1794. It is primarily a complaint, elo-
quently bitter, against certain French consuls, among
them d'Annery, for their anti-republican conduct to-
ward the privateer La Marseilloise in Boston. "Ci-

Collot, Victor.
General Collot was a French officer who had served
with Rochambeau during the American revolutionary
war. In 1796 he undertook, at the request of Adet,
the French ambassador to the United States, to furnish
a detailed memoir on the western regions of the United
States, the Ohio and Mississippi vaileys. His voyage
from Pittsburgh to New Orleans required from March
to December, 1796. He died in 1805 and his manu-
script remained unpublished until 1826. From the un-
usual copy in the NYPL it will be seen that the Voyage
was printed, but not published, in 1804.

CONSIDERANT, VlCTOR PROSPER.
Considerant (1808-1893) at the age of twenty-one
adopted the very unpopular communistic doctrines of
Fourier, at whose death in 1837, he became the chief
of the movement. He was the real founder of the
cooperative movement in France. Accused of treason,
he fled to Belgium in 1849 and came to New York in
1852. There he received the support of Albert Bris-
bane and made a journey to Texas. His highly en-
thusiastic account of that territory, An Texas, pub-
lished in many editions, received wide attention. He
formed a company and in 1855 settled at Reunion,
several miles from Dallas. After several years it
failed, and Considerant settled in San Antonio, re-
turning to Paris in 1869, and dying obscurely in 1893.

Crevecceur, Michel Guillaume St. Jean de.
Crevecceur first came to New York in 1759, where
six years later he became a naturalized American
citizen. His Letters from an American Farmer, one
of the popular and influential books of the eighteenth
century, was probably written between 1769 and 1780,
when he returned to France. In 1783 he returned to
the United States, when he became the French consul
at New York. He remained there until 1790, when he
returned to France for the last time. For a brief and
convenient bibliography see the Dictionary of American
Biography, iv, 544. The Hugh C. Wallace Library
contains a lengthy unpublished manuscript of Creve-
cceur which merits publication.
Letters from an American Farmer, describing
certain provincial situations, manners and cus-
toms not generally known and conveying some
idea of the late and present interior circum-

Desjardins was a middle-class Parisian engineer who
was sent to America to represent a land company
organized by Gouverneur Morris. He states without
reserve his failures and his disillusionments. Instead
of the America that he expected: pure, charitable,
friendly and in a state of nature, he found merely a
country corrupt, unworthy of its great reputation for
morality, selfish and hostile to foreigners. As M. Fay
concludes: "He lost his time, his hopes, his ideals, his
money, his health, and his respect for humanity."

FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES
33
Dialogue entre Deux Mondes: reportage.
Par Gerard de Catalogue. Paris: Librairie de
la Revue franchise [Alexis Redierj, [1931].
298 p. 12�. 553
This book contains the results of an important sym-
posium conducted by M. Gerard de Catalogne in the
Parisian newspaper, Le Figaro. It should not be ne-
glected by any one interested in Franco-American re-
lations — or by any student of public opinion. It is a
curious medley — and a revealing document. Here so-
ber professors and members of the Institute are jostled
by cheap journalists and gullible sensation-mongers.
As an example of this latter I translate this pasty
gem, culled from the remarks of one Rene Maran:
"They [the Americans] love garbage and garbage sur-
rounds them, especially when they wallow in the de-
lights of cocktails i. e. mouth wash, Cologne water,
wood alcohol, spirits of paregoric are mixed with
several dashes of angustora drops, vitriol or with several
portions of eau de Javel [a strong French deodorant
and disinfectant]". It is interesting to note that the
author of this has never been in the United States, so
that his imagination is in no way hampered by the facts.
Many French authors and publicists who have trav-
elled in the United States have participated in this
debate for and against "l'Americanisme." A list of
these travellers, with the pages containing their con-
tributions, follows:
Bellegarde, Dantes. p. 83-88.
Danel, Herman. p. 139-145.
Dimnet, Ernest. p. 146-149.
Duplan, T. L. p. 149-152.
Durtain, Luc. p. 192-195.
Fleury, Jean (ierard. p. 154-157.
Homberg, Octave. p. 102-107.
Lalou, Rene. p. 107-110.
Melera, Marguerite Y. p. 128-131.
Morand, Paul. p. 167-168.
Puaux, Rene. p. 224-228.
Reboux, Paul. p. 235-237.
Roz, Firmin. p. 244-249.
Siegfried, Andre. p. 252-254.
Of these fourteen travellers who have had the oppor-
tunity of observing America and the Americans for
themselves it is relevant to note that four, Bellegarde,
Homberg, Lalou and Melera, argue against "l'Ameri-
canisme"; the other ten write in favor of it.

Ducher, G. J. A.
Ducher came to the United States after the close
of the American Revolution and was given an appoint-
ment as vice-consul at Portsmouth, N. H. In the
summer of 1787 he was transferred to Wilmington,
N. t'., where he remained until late in 1789, when he
returned to France. An exhaustive study of Ducher
has been written by Frederick L. Nussbaum [q.v.].
After returning to Fiance Ducher wrote several pam-
phlets touching upon the United States and American
affairs; he also wrote a number of articles on the
United States for Lc Moniteur, and these are care-
fully listed by Nussbaum, p. 322-328.

Du Simitiere, artist, antiquary, and naturalist,
projector of the first American museum, with
some extracts from his note book, by William
John Potts. (Pennsylvania magazine of historv
and biography. Philadelphia, 1889. 8�. v. 13,
p. 341-375.) 622A
Du Simitiere was a Swiss artist and antiquary who
first came to America in 1765. In 1769, in New York,
he became a naturalized citizen, but this he denied in
1777 when he was in danger of being drafted into the
militia. At that time he stated that he was a foreigner
who was travelling in the United States to complete
his studies and his collections. At his death his vast
collection of newspapers and pamphlets was bought by
the Library Company of Philadelphia. The extracts
from his note book extend from 1774 to 1783.

in-18. 623
It is strange that this book has never been translated
into English, for it is the single work which offers the
most complete picture of American life written by any
French traveller during the period of the Civil War.
The author was endowed with a penetrating observation
and a felicitous style. He arrived in the United States
in June, 1864, during a critical period of the war, and
remained until February, 1865, when the victory of the
North was certain. During that time he travelled ex-
tensively: from Quebec to Georgia and from Boston to
Missouri. His two volumes of more than nine hundred
pages are composed of his observations written day by
day. He is equally successful whether describing the
color and bitterness of an electoral campaign, a New
Year's celebration in New York, or the cultural at-
mosphere of Boston. He has painted an excellent pic-
ture of Washington during the war. Among his many
interesting pages will be found valuable materials on
Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Chicago,
Missouri, and Kentucky.

that Evans adopts the form "Beaumez" rather than the

Evma, Louis Xavier.
Eyma, several of whose works were published under
the name of Adolphe Ricard, was born in Martinique
in 1816 and died sixty years later in Paris. He was
probably sent to Paris for his education. He became
associated with the Ministry of Marine there and wrote
for French reviews. In 1845 he first visited the United
States to study the American educational system. He
later returned to the United States and went to New
Orleans where he edited the French section of L' Abeille
during 1858-9. He travelled extensively in America
before returning to Paris. (See Edward L. Tinker,
Les fccrits de la langue francaise en Louisiane au XIXe
siicle. p. 189.)
Eyma was a prolific journalist and litterateur whose
writings during the 1850's and 1860's were influential
in the formation of French opinion of the United States.
Despite the volume of his writings on America the social
historian will find them of considerable value.

The author explains that in his other books on
America he has discussed the greatness, the richness
and strength of American civilization and that he does
not wish this book to appear to be a contradiction of
his others, for here he paints merely the peculiarities.

Evma. Louis Xavier, continued
writing about the peculiarities of American society
without recognizing that they were dealing with ex-
ceptions: a procedure which is neither just nor honest.
This valuable little book of Eyraa's is now excessively
difficult to find in very good condition. The peculiarities
which he treats are the following: A propos des femmes;
A propos des religions; Les marquis transatlantiques;
Messieurs les domestiques, mesdames les servantes:
Xoirs et blancs: Mosurs intimes de la presse; Le duel
et la justice individuelle; Les comites de vigilance;
Les fonctions publiques — La vie politique — Les
elections.

Fay, Bernard.
M. Fay, critic, publicist, historian, professor of
American history at the College de France, is a fre-
quent visitor to the United States, where he has held
academic posts in various universities. Although in-
terested in a variety of Franco-American problems, his
chief contributions have been on eighteenth-century
Franco-American relations which he treated with acu-
men and brilliance in his Revolutionary spirit . . . and
more recently in his Franklin and his Washington. Few
contemporary French scholars have done more in pro
moting American studies in France and none have done
more in the furthering of Franco-American relations.

(i)vi-xvi, 166 p. 12�. 693
This survey, with a distinct religious and anti-slavery
bias, is the result of a residence of nine months in the
United States during 1861. He remarks that slave-
holders have spread much propaganda in France, a
country which is too distant from America to really
appreciate the two great issues. He found everything
in America strange and concluded that never have a
people been judged more superficially, more hastily or
with more injustice. It is all a strange mixture of
savagery and civilization in which the faults of the
country are at once apparent. To him the strangest
thing in this strange world was the American political
party. The special genius of America finds expression
in an art that is special to the United States: that of
beautifying cemeteries, in which the pagan dream of the
Elysian fields is realized in a spirit that is Christian.
The greatest fault of Americans is their tremendous
pride — which takes on the vast proportions of the
country itself.

Gaillardet, Frederic.
Gaillardet (1808-1882) had been admitted to the
practice of law in France when he turned to literature
and collaborated with Alexandre Dumas, with whom he
quarreled, whom he sued six times in the courts of law,
and whom he met on the field of honor, from which
both escaped without injury. He came to New Orleans
in 1837 with two brothers and while travelling in the
Mississippi valley and Texas he frequently wrote to
the Parisian newspapers. In 1840 he came to New
York, bought the moribund Courrier des �tats-Unis,
and established it as the leading French newspaper in
America. In 1848 he sold it and returned to France.
He frequently returned to America in the years follow-
ing. His l' Aristocratic en Amerique, published the
year following his death, is brilliant, though frag-
mentary. His book was designed, as the title indicates,
to be the counterpart to that of de Tocqueville, with
which it should be read.

L'autre monde. Paris: Librairie nouvelle,
1855. 4 p.l, 259 p, 1 1. in-18. 768
This little book is a classic of parody and abuse.
The author states that American actors have no talents
and that Americans never go to the theatre unless
Barnum is producing something. American women
from the age of 15 to 25 are beautiful; after that they
are unbearably ugly. There are only two types of
American men: clergymen and soap-salesmen. In the
street-cars of Xew York it is not unusual for women
to sit on the laps of the men. The country she found
was filled with escaped criminals from Europe. After
she had toured through the South she decided that
l~r.de Tom's Cabin was romantic nonsense. She thought
the Kentuckians were the Gascons of America and
defined a Kentucky gentleman as a man who paid his
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES
47
bills the first time they were presented. Her best
vitriol she reserved for suffragettes. There was but
one aspect of life that pleased her in America: the
hotels — and the steamships, that were great floating
hotels.

Grouchy, Emmanuel, marquis de.
Marshal Grouchy, one of the best known of Na-
poleon's generals, is said to be the only general who
twice lost an empire. In 1796 his indecision of mind
and his fatal formalism prevented a successful French
landing in Ireland, and at Waterloo these same qualities
are frequently credited with the loss of that momentous
battle. After Napoleon's final failure Grouchy came
to the United States with other French officers; he
returned to France in 1821. The Library of Congress
contains several interesting unpublished letters written
by Grouchy while he was in America. See under

This volume is cast in fictional form. A rich uncle
invites a French family to come to Chicago and while
there the children are put in the Wabash Seminary, the
Luttrel School and Wentworth University for women.
These institutions are described. The preoccupation of
America is to be practical, concluded Grousset. He also
describes a trip to Denver and the valley of the Yosemite.

This is the matter-of-fact journal of three Belgians
who came to attend the Congress of the International

their record of it is of negligible value.

This splendid series of articles contains many manu-
script materials here published, with introduction and
notes, for the first time. Hallet was the first great
French architect in the United States, where he ar-
rived in 1787. L'Enfant, who enjoys a greater his-
torical reputation, was not an architect, but a military
engineer. The best biographical summary of Hallet is
in the Dictionary of American Biography.

The author, a celebrated pianist, came to the United
States in November, 1846 for a concert tour. Ulmann,
a friend of P. T. Barnum, became his manager: the
curious means by which Ulmann undertook to promote
the concerts of Herz fill many amusing pages. Herz
visited Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Charleston, New Orleans, and Mobile. Herz has many
reflections on music and musicians in the United States,
but his observations were not confined to this subject.
The American press, religion, and slavery greatly in-
terested him. He travelled to California, to Mexico,
Chile and Peru; these latter experiences were to have
been related in a second volume, which was evidently
never completed.

Houzeau, Jean Charles.
The "discovery" of this tra%-eller is due to the efforts
of Dr. Maurice Chazin who found, in a private library
in Belgium, a voluminous file of his letters from
America. Dr. Chazin is now preparing a study on
Houzeau with selections from his correspondence. He
was a Belgian savant and "libre-penseur" who came
to the United States in 1857 and remained until 1876,
when he returned to Brussels to become director of the
Observatory there. During his residence here he con-
tributed to the Belgian press many literary and scientific
articles. He was a forceful advocate of the Unionist
cause during the Civil War. At the close of the war
he founded and directed in New Orleans, La Tribune,
one of the first and most successful of negro jour-
nals. His unpublished correspondence contains many
comments upon American politics and social life — and
reveal Houzeau as an interesting and often original
observer.

Many of Jacquemont's letters to his friends and his
family form an important, but neglected, criticism of
American life in the early decades of the nineteenth
century. From many of his French friends, who were
liberals and sympathetic to the United States, he had
secured such excellent reports that when he actually
visited the country he was shocked. He could explain
Chateaubriand's admiration only by the fact that when
Chateaubriand visited America there were still living

Jacquemoxt, Victor, continued
many of the great figures of the American Revolution,
but these men were aristocrats who had received an
English education. These men are now dead, sighed
Jacquemont. He found that bankruptcy was the quick-
est way to wealth and called it the great national vice.
He found in America a uniform and monotonous life, a
servile copying of European customs, and an absolute
lack of art and poetry, even when offered in their
simplest forms.

Jay, Axtoine.
Jay, who later became a distinguished litterateur
and a member of the French Academy, was in the
United States from 1795 to 1802. To escape the Terror
he sought refuge in Boston, where, with the Cardinal
de Cheverus and the Due d'Orleans, he is said to have
started a French newspaper. Jay returned to France
in 1802 and joined the ministry of Napoleon, for whom
he translated English newspapers. His American ex-
periences are the subject of articles contributed to
Le Nouveau Journal des Voyages (see Bionraphie
nouvellc des contemporains, 1823, ix, 386-389) and
to the Bibliothcque americaine (see entry under Jay in
the Addenda of this bibliography). Jay was known in
France as an admirer of American institutions (see
Bibliographie Catholique, 1866, xxxi, 177-182). Dr.
Chazin is at present engaged in a study of Jay's career.

Kalb, Johann, baron von.
An adequate summary of Kalb's career will be found
in the Dictionary of American Biography. It should
simply be noted here that although Kalb was born in
what is now Bavaria he early in life went to France
and identified himself with things French. Kapp has
demonstrated that his title of baron was a title bestowed
by himself to aid in his military advancement. In
January, 1768, he arrived in Philadelphia on a secret
mission of observation for the French government; he
travelled in America until the following April when he
sailed from Xew York for France. His views were
those of a calm and intelligent observer; he predicted
that the colonies would gain their independence, but
that they were little inclined to accept the aid of foreign
powers. He was later instrumental in bringing Lafay-
ette to America; he served with distinction until he
was killed at the battle of Camden, August 19, 1780.

This book is of more than ordinary interest because
the author was a musician as well as an intelligent
observer of American life. He first arrived in New
York in October, 1869. He estimated that a customs
inspector ought to be able to earn one hundred thousand
dollars in five years. He approved enthusiastically of
American barber shops and American drinks. He
found that no American pianist could raise himself
above an honest mediocrity; in America there were no
composers, but there were many good players. He
found the public admiring Ole Bull, the Swedish vio-
linist, and admiring his false notes as well as his true
ones. His heroism during a fire on a boat has gained
him more credit in America than all of his double
chords. He found that the country was being exploited
by German and Italian artists. He praised the Stein-
way pianos and American minstrels. In his opinion
the Nezv York Times was the best newspaper in exist-
ence. Kowalski gave concerts in Boston, New York,
Albany, Buffalo. Washington, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
Chicago, and Milwaukee.

the principal items of the Lafayette material see the
review article, by Louis R. Gottschalk in the Journal
of modern history, v. 2, 1930, p. 281-287; Professor
Gottschalk has in preparation a volume of unpublished
Lafayette letters. The biographies of Lafayette by
Charlemagne Tower, Brand Whitlock, and Etienne
Charavay contain many letters by Lafayette; Chara-
vay contains many letters not available elsewhere. The
following list is intended to indicate the most important
items which contain Lafayette's writings from or con-
cerning the United States. For the various editions of
his correspondence and for other bibliographical entries

La Forest, Antoine Rene Charles Mathu-
rin de.
La Forest was a member of the French legation
under Gerard and later under La Luzerne. He was
made vice-consul of France at Savannah on August 20,
1783, and after June 22, 1785, was in charge of the
affairs of the office of consul general. He formally re-
placed Barbe-Marbois in this position, March 2, 1792.
He was recalled by the order of November 17, 1792.
He was again appointed consul general and made one
of the commission with Fauchet, November 15, 1793.
For a more detailed account of his career and his diffi-
culties in America, as well as his despatches, see Cor-
respondence of the French Ministers, 1791-1797,
especially p. 717 and index.

Henry Jouin in his article on Lakanal (see item

It is strange that no library which I have been able to

the item has seemingly disappeared.

A wealthy young nobleman from Brittany who, en-
thusiastic in the cause for American independence, came
to America in 1777. He renounced his title and was
known in the American army simply as Col. Armand.
He generously spent the greater part of his fortune in
equipping an independent cavalry corps. Despite his
difficulties and his many wrangles with Congress his
zeal for the Americans remained unabated. He left
for France in February, 1781, and returned the fol-
lowing August. He was finally given the rank of
brigadier-general in 1783, although he had not ceased
to demand an honorable rank from the time of his
arrival. He returned to France in 1785 and for the
following six years continued to correspond with Wash-
ington, whom he greatly venerated. His published
correspondence contains letters to Gen. Scott, Major-
General Heath, and Hamilton, although the great bulk
of the letters are addressed to Washington. To my
knowledge, his letters represent the most curious and
wonderful English ever written by a French traveller.

Le Blanc.
Le Blanc was one of the commissioners appointed
by the French government November 15, 1793; he
became secretary of the legation. The first despatch
signed by him is dated March 14, 1794. The last
despatch from Philadelphia which was signed by Le
Blanc was dated June 8, 1794; this was also signed
by Fauchet. It expressed suspicions of La Forest. Le
Blanc was sent back to Paris by Fauchet; he had
arrived there by September, 1794, and stated the pur-
pose of his journey in a letter to the Commissioner of
Foreign Relations, Buchot. See Correspondence of the
French Ministers, 1791-1797, p. 410-411, 419, and index.

Mondcs in March and April, 1840. It was dedicated

other forthcoming works concerning his studies in
Texas, but I have found no record of their pub-
lication.

The NYPL copy of this rare and interesting pam-
phlet was given to John Bigelow by the author; Big-
elow then sent it on to Bancroft, with the following
holographic note, written on the inside of the cover, and
dated at Paris, March 16, 1863: "The author of this
brochure is the grandson of a friend of Franklin, of
John Adams, of Mr Jefferson etc the first who shipped
arms and munitions of war from France to America
in our first revolution. He — the grandfather — was
afterwards rewarded with a large tract of land in the
North Western part of the State of Xew York which
is still held by his grandson who presented me with
this. It contains some anecdotes of Franklin which
have I believe at least the merit of novelty and I send
it to you in the hope at least of its reminding you of
Yours very truly,
John Bigelow."

Le Ray de Chaumont, Vincent, continued
The author of the pamphlet states that he spent the
best twenty-five years of his life in New York State,
which he left in 1833. For the interesting career of his
father, James Donatien Le Ray de Chaumont, who
was naturalized as an American citizen, see the article
by the Rev. J. L. Tierney in Historical records and
studies of the United States Catholic Historical Society,
v. 15, 1921, p. 59-69, NYPL (IAA).
The BN catalogue lists Souvenirs des �tats-Unis as
the work of Leon Guillemin. This is, I believe, an error.

Lesueur, Charles Alexandre.
In 1815 Lesueur, then a scientist and artist of
distinction, was employed by William Maclure, the
American geologist, to spend two years in America
in his service. Lesueur first arrived in the United
States in May, 1816; he remained here until 1837.
He first travelled widely in the East, especially in New
York and Pennsylvania, and later in the West, along
the Ohio, Wabash and Mississippi rivers. His large
collection of some 1,600 drawings made while in the
United States is now preserved in the Museum of
Natural History at Havre. There have been several
published studies of Lesueur; that of Hamy is good;
that of Madame Loir is the best. The article by Waldo
G. Leland, "The Lesueur collection of American
sketches in the Museum of Natural History at Havre,
Seine-Inferieure," in the Mississippi Valley historical
rcvieiv, v. 10, 1923, p. 53-78, contains a biographical
introduction and a description of many of the items
of this vast collection.

973A
This was written by a French officer shortly after
his arrival in France from America where he had served
during the war. It is a trenchant criticism of the writ-
ings of the Abbe Robin on America; his criticism still
possesses validity. He heaps ridicule upon the poor
Abbe, who was indeed curiously gullible. He states
that the Americans are so tolerant that they would
have laughed at him had he told them his observations.

Lettre ecrite a M. Garat. . ., continued
He speaks of the duty of rendering justice to this new
country which, in Europe, is more talked about than
it is understood. He refutes some of the more curious
statements of Robin, such as the statement that all the
houses in Boston are built of wood and that they can
be moved from place to place with the greatest ease.
He concludes by asking: Is the first serious work about
America to be written by a man who does not under-
stand the language, who was there not longer than
four months and who never stopped eight days in a
single city ?

Longchamp, Ferdinand.
Longchamp has recently been revealed as the author
of Asmodce d New-York (items 105 and 106 of this
bibliography). After the first sheets containing these
items had been printed I discovered in the Americana
catalogue no. 55 of G. A. Baker and Co., of New York
City (item 1188) a "presentation copy from the author"
of the English translation. The book itself I did not
see, for it had been sold, but I have implicit faith in
the accuracy of the description by Mr. M. Harzof.
Neither Lorenz nor the BN catalogue lists any items
by Longchamp, but the discovery of this copy would
seem to settle the question of the authorship. Hence
items 105 and 106 of this bibliography should be cata-
logued under this name.
Since this discovery was made the Library of Con-
gress has published a revised card for this item. There
it is stated that Longchamp was "Ferdinand Long-
champ." This is probable, since the English translation
was published by Longchamp and Co., in New York.
The city directory for 1864 reveals that this publisher
was Ferdinand Longchamp. While this identification
seems probable I have no information which would
clearly confirm it. The signed copy sold by G. A.
Baker and Co. carried the name of "J. D. Long-
champ." Might this not have been a brother of the
publisher? To further complicate the question, the
NYPL copy of the English translation contains a pencil
notation that the author was "Frederick Longchamp."

A curious book of religious reveries inspired by

Internal evidence establishes Lumen as the author
of this equally curious book, which is really a con-
tinuation of Les parfums du Frigolet. The title is
explained by the fact that the author conceived the
book one morning as his train pulled into the railway
station at Beaucaire. He summarizes the motto of the
Americans as "Go ad head; and no mind" [sic !].

The author was sent to the United States in 1870
to study engineering development and public works.
He prepared and presented a formal report of his in-
vestigations for the French government; the above

journeyed from coast to coast, visiting the following
principal cities: Xew York, Philadelphia, Xorfolk,
Washington, Saratoga, Niagara, Chicago, Omaha, Og-
den. Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and St. Louis.
While in Xew York he was the guest of Hugh Max-
well, who had known and entertained Jacquemont, La-
fayette, and de Tocqueville. The book contains seven
large folding plates of considerable interest:
i. Carte. Itineraire general.

Mangourit, Michel Ange Bernard de.
The Mangourit correspondence in respect to
Genet's projected attack upon the Floridas,
1793-94. (American Historical Association.
Annual report. Washington, 1898. 8�. 1897,
p. 569-679.) 1027
Mangourit had been a criminal judge in Rennes,
the city of his birth. Having lost or having given up
this post, he came to Paris and embarked upon a career
as a publicist and journalist. He was at first subsidized
by the Court and later was known as one of the Con-
querors of the Bastille. As a reward for his revolu-
tionary services he was made, March 2, 1792, consul at
Charleston. He became embroiled in the Genet affair
and when Genet was dismissed he was recalled to
France. He reached Paris August 23, 1794, and has-
tened to have printed his Memoire de Mangourit con-
taining the addresses which he pretended had been made
to him by the citizens of Charleston before he left.
He was later charged with a study of the relations of
France with Spain and the Two Sicilies. For a brief
summary of his career see Turner, Correspondence of
French Ministers, p. 930-932.

Marmier, Xavier.
Marmier (1809-1892), traveller and litterateur, was
a member of the French Academy. His many accounts
of his extensive travels enjoyed a wide popularity; his
books concerning America were not without a marked
influence upon French opinion. At best Marmier was
but mildly critical; in general his writing is sympa-
thetic, without profundity or originality.

Marsillac, Jean de.
Important letter in La Decade Philosophique,
Paris, of 30 Floreal, An V [May 19, 1797]. 1041
Marsillac may have had the collaboration of Volney
in this criticism of American life. He had been a
student of medicine at Montpellier and an officer in the
French army. When he was converted to Quakerism
he gave up his commission and acted as the spokesman
and missionary of the Quakers in France. He later
went to England and then visited the United States
where he remained until 1798. I have seen unpublished
mss. in the library of the Society of Friends in Lon-
don, but this is his only published opinion of American
life of which I find any record. For details of Mar-
sillac see Fay, Revolutionary spirit, p. 244-245, 401-
402, 455-456.

The bourgeois de New-Heaven [sic!] is Condorcet.
Mazzei was an Italian physician who practised medi-

in commerce in London. With several other Italians
he came to the United States in December, 1773, to
introduce the cultivation of the grape and the olive.
He became a neighbor and friend of Thomas Jefferson.
He actively supported the movement for independence
and from 1779 to 1783 he was an agent for Virginia
to obtain supplies in Italy. He revisited the United
States in 1785. His Memorie delta vita (Lugano, 2 v.
1845-46) contains a lengthy account of his activities
in Italv on behalf of Virginia.

A Paris: De l'lmprimerie de Giguet et Michaud,
An xi— (1802). 2 p.l., 331(1) p. 12�. 1073
In his preface the author states that he is aware
that he is not writing a chapter or even a paragraph
of world history, but he also feels that he is not writing
a novel. He claims that the book was written in great
haste: in less than three weeks, from memory, without
notes. The truth is that Milfort was a hopeless liar;
and as a result his book is one of the most interesting
and curious books of French travel in America in the
eighteenth century. He had lived among the Indians for
more than twenty years as an agent of the Spanish
government; and he later joined the service of the
French government. His book is often hostile to the
colonists. Certain descriptions of life among the In-
dians and frontiersmen are interesting. But what con-
fidence can be placed in a man who was capable of
describing how he, in command of six thousand In-
dians, had defeated George Rogers Clark and an army
of ten thousand regulars!

The author came to visit the Philadelphia Exposition
of 1876, but he also visited New York, Coney Island,
Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, Chi-
cago, and Boston. In New York he found that the
streets and pavements were like those of a third-class
city in Russia. He is one of the few Frenchmen who
have praised American food. He declared that in five
minutes he ate a lunch that would have satisfied the
most exacting gourmet. He was struck with the real
politeness of the Americans and found that the cult of
the dollar had been greatly exaggerated. He was amazed
that the public servants in America should be so willing
to serve the public. He regretted that the American
people should so long have been at the mercy of poli-
ticians, "a group of foxes organized to live at the ex-
pense of the democratic ravens."

Taken together these four volumes form a detailed
journal of the travels of three years. The passages
treating the United States in the Souvenirs des An-
tilles are brief, factual and mediocre. His descriptions
of Philadelphia and New York are found in volume one.
Volume two closes with his return from the Antilles
to Norfolk at the end of August, 1816.

This is one of the rarest and most valuable of the
accounts of nineteenth-century French travellers in
America. The first entry is dated Aug. 27, 1816, at
Norfolk; volume one is entirely devoted to his American
experiences; there is considerable material in volume
two on Charleston and South Carolina. Montlezun
visited Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe; he travelled
through and describes the following places: Norfolk,
Baltimore, Washington, Fredericksburg, Montpelier,
Monticello, Philadelphia, Trenton, New York, New
Orleans, and Charleston. Montlezun was a Parisian
and an ultra-royalist, and the Americans and their
manners are bitterly satirized; he viewed with ani-
mosity the absence of Parisian comforts and luxuries
in the United States and he could not tolerate the
blunt and ready speech which he found everywhere.
His book was attacked in France as an unwarranted
misrepresentation of the Americans and the French
refugees. For a contemporary review see The Monthly
Revierv, London, 1819, v. 88, p. 504-509.

Moreau de Saint-Mery, Mederic Louis
�lie.
Stewart L. Mims has given a very adequate bio-
graphical sketch of Moreau de Saint-Mery in his intro-
duction to item 1113. It deserves a brief resume.
Moreau de Saint-Mery (1750-1819) was born at Port
Royal, Martinique, and educated in Paris. He returned
and worked on his monumental collection of the laws
and constitutions of the French West Indies until he
was called to Paris to assist in colonial administration.
He was prominent in scientific, historical and, later,
political groups. Having incurred the hostility of the
more lawless elements in Paris he was savagely attacked
and almost killed by a mob in July, 1792. He escaped
Robespierre and the guillotine and sailed with his fam-
ily from Havre in November, 1793; they did not arrive
in Norfolk until March 8, 1794.
He came to Xew York and secured employment as a
shipping clerk until he met de la Roche: with the latter
he opened a bookstore and printing press in Philadelphia.
From October, 1794 to August, 1798 he remained in
Philadelphia; after which he returned to France. He
was, during his residence in Philadelphia, an important
printer and was actively associated with various mem-
bers of the American Philosophical Society. His book-
shop was a center for many of the distinguished French
emigres: Yolney, Talleyrand, La Rochefoucauld-Lian-
court, de Xoailles, Demeunier and the due d'Orleans
(the future Louis Philippe). Moreau's last days in the
United States were embittered by the general hostility
shown against foreigners.
The writings of Moreau on the United States deserve
the close attention of the student. He was a close
observer, a historian, a politician, and a savant. He
was more frank, profound and interesting than the
better-known La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, who used
Moreau's manuscript with great profit.

Orbigny, Alcide Dessalines d\
I am not convinced that d'Orbigny ever actually
travelled in any part of what is now the LTnited States.
A letter of d'Orbigny recently communicated to me by
Dr. Maurice Chazin makes his visit seem improbable.
A close reading of his revised book (item 1146) does
not yield conclusive evidence. It is clear, however,
that he does borrow very frequently from French trav-
ellers in the L'nited States, whose accounts are not
conveniently available at the present time, such as
Derbec, whose letters from California were printed in
Le Journal des Dcbats during 1850 and 1851. The
materials that are appropriated from other authors are
well selected and give a value to his book.

Otto, Louis Guillaume.
It is to be regretted that Otto did not publish an
extended study of American life as he had observed
it from 1779 to 1792 while acting in various diplomatic
capacities for the French government. He was spoken
of as a man notable for his diplomatic ability, his
remarkable learning and sterling integrity. Professor
James Alton James has already demonstrated how im-
portant was Otto's judgment in helping to prevent war
between the United States and France from 1795 to
1800. Professor James makes mention of Otto and
publishes excerpts from his diplomatic reports, which
reveal him to have been a man of great sympathy and
perspicacity. For some accounts of his missions here
see the references to Doniol, Turner, and James. It
is to be hoped that some scholar will make a more
detailed study of Otto, especially since copies of his
reports are now available in the Library of Congress.

Pavie, Theodore Marie.
Pavie was born in 1811 at Angers, probably the son
of a printer and bookseller. He travelled widely in the
United States, South America, and the Orient. He
published several volumes of travels and short stories,
including translations from Oriental languages. From
1852 to 1857 he taught Sanscrit language and literature
at the College de France. At the age of eighteen he
travelled in the United States. An interesting study
might be made of the influence of Chateaubriand upon
Pavie. As a youth he was enchanted by all that was
distant; he loved the sea and was wont to sit upon a
rock by the water and weep as he contemplated the
horizon. He was weighed down by a profound melan-
choly. In his preface he states: "J'offre au public ces
pages incoherentes, ce desordre d'un cerveau melan-
cholique et souffrant" and speaks wistfully of the wild
and savage land where "j'ai passe les plus beaux jours
de ma jeunesse, au milieu de tout ce que demande en
soupirant une jeune tete malade de desirs."
The author vouches for the authenticity of most of
that which he describes, although he admits that some
incidents were not actually witnessed, but are "prob-
able." His travels in the United States were extensive,
as a list of the more important localities which he
treats indicates: New York, Albany, Schenectady, Syra-
cuse, Oswego, Rochester. Buffalo, Niagara, Saratoga,
New Haven, Newport, Providence, Boston, New Jersey,
Philadelphia, Baltimore. Washington, Annapolis, Har-
risburg, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, Illinois,
Louisiana, Red River, Texas, New Orleans.
The Nouvelle biographic generate speaks of Pavie's
Voyage aux Etats-i'nis et an Canada as published in 6
vol. in-8 in 1827 while Yapereau in his Dictionnaire
nniyersel des contemporains lists 2 vol. in-8, 1828-1833.
It is probable that both are in error, for Pavie himself
states that he was eighteen [\829] when he first began
his travels in the United States. The only editions
which I have found are the one-volume edition of 1832
and the two-volume edition of 1833.

Vol. ii, p. 91-131 describe his explorations on the
Pacific Coast. He first approached the northwestern
coast of what is now the United States on Sept. 19,
1796; he sailed down the coast and landed at Monterey,
to which he devotes an extended treatment. At the
beginning of November, 1796, he left Monterey and
sailed westward across the Pacific, eventually going to
China. From China he rounded the Cape of Good Hope.
About December 21, 1797 he found himself off the
coast of Cape Cod. Vol. ii, p. 256-285 describe his
stay in New England. From his own narrative it
appears that he remained in America almost two years,
for it was not until the 9th of November, 1799, that
he sailed for South America. During his residence
here he visited and describes the following places: Saco,
Me., Portsmouth, N. H., Boston, Cambridge, Charles-
town and Hingham (which the author calls "Ing-
ham"), Mass.

His memoirs begin with a summary of his military
services under Napoleon and the story of his departure
for North America where he resided from August, 1817
to May, 1819. During this time he met Joseph Napoleon
in New York, went to the Antilles in 1818, joined
Bolivar and fought against the Spanish.
Persat made a second voyage to America from
October. 1824 to May, 1827. He travelled by the West
Indies to New York where he again met Joseph Na-
poleon. He then travelled through the United States,
making detailed notes on the cities which he visited:
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Louisville, etc., and on the
character, customs and industries of the Americans.
He reached Louisiana on foot, where he joined a fili-
bustering expedition which he accompanied as far as
Texas, from which point he returned to France.

This curious and valuable work of Pitou was first
called to my attention by Dr. Maurice Chazin; it has
thus far escaped general notice.
Louis Ange Pitou (1767-1846) was deported from
France to Cayenne in 1797. In his first volume he
gives a lengthy autobiographical sketch and an explana-
tion of the causes of his exile. After several years in
exile he was permitted to return to France. He re-
turned by way of the United States in 1801 with six
or seven companions. Twenty-five pages of his second
volume tell the story of their travels in the United
States.
They first landed at Newport and there met a William
Eins, a Quaker, who entertained them and supplied
them with much of their information. Of Newport
and the Quakers Pitou gives many interesting details.
He came to understand that the government of the
country was "republicain representatif et oligarchique"
and that the elections were always tumultuous, because
there were as many political groups as there were
religious sects. Congressmen often had but one eye,
the other having been gouged out in some contest.
While Pitou was in Newport he was told that Jefferson,
"l'ami du peuple et sur-tout des Frangais," was elected
to succeed Adams, a man who had never forgiven the
French people for having neglected him and feted Frank-
lin years before when they were both in Paris.
Pitou and his companions soon went on to New
York, "cette nouvelle Tyr," where the churches were as
numerous as the shops. There they found that the dead
were more troublesome than the living, since the dead
occupied many of the choicest spots in the city. In
New York they made the friendship of M. Reyphyns,
pastor of the Irish church.
In general their impressions of the Americans were
most favorable. If the Americans have some faults they
have many virtues, they concluded. He defends the
Americans against the charge of all-too-many bank-
ruptcies and states that many thousands of French
refugees can bear witness to American hospitality.
Pitou ends his consideration of the Americans with a
significant statement that: "the only thing necessary
for the happiness of Americans is to know how to curb
their desires."

Robin, Abbe.
This is not Claude C. Robin, with whom this author
has been (and is) confused. See note under Claude C.
Robin.
Robin was, upon Franklin's recommendation, at-
tached to the army of Rochambeau as chaplain where,
in the regiment of the Vicomte de Noailles, he estab-
lished a kind of welfare center. Bernard Fay describes
his book as "rather ridiculous and very dull." This was
substantially the opinion of his contemporaries. When
the book was first published Garat gave it a trenchant
review in Le Mercure de France. He said that Robin
was too seasick to note the crossing. Boston to him
seemed less a modern city than an ancient one; the
customs in Boston reminded him of the ancient and
austere simplicity of the first ages. For a time he
thought that he was in Jerusalem, then at Athens. He
says that in Boston the houses are all made of wood
and can be moved about with great ease. He illustrated
the hospitality of the Americans by remarking that the
wife of the host frequently shared her bed with gentle-
men guests. Vital statistics he gathered by studying
tombstones.
In the Mercure of March 29, 1783, the author was
again attacked by an officer recently returned from
America. He refutes the principal conclusions of Robin
and states that the Americans are so tolerant that they
would have laughed at the abbe had he told them his
reflections. He concludes his letter thus: "Is the first
serious work about America to be written by a man
who does not understand the language, who was there
no longer than four months, and who never stopped eight
days in a single city?"

Robin, Claude C.
In Sabin and in the NYPL, LC and BM catalogues
the abbe Robin is described as Claude C. Robin. These
names, however, represent two different people. The
error began, as I have been able to trace it, in a
confusion of identity by J. M. Querard in his La France
litteraire (1836), viii, 83. It has been constantly re-
peated, with one very obscure exception.
It is not possible, after reading the Nouveau voyage
dans I'Amerique septentrionale (1782) and the Voyages
dans I'interieur de la Louisiane (1807), to believe that
they could have been written by the same author. Be-
yond the difference in style, which is marked, is the
approach to the materials. Claude C. Robin was a
scholar, scientist and a well-known naturalist. The
abbe Robin was a credulous traveller whose most sober
conclusions were termed "ridiculous" by his contem-
poraries. In the three volumes by Claude C. Robin
there is no mention of any previous travels by him
in the United States. Were he actually the abbe Robin
of the earlier period it seems likely that he would
have drawn contrasts between his earlier and his later
travels or that he would have contrasted conditions
in the northern states with those in Louisiana.
On the basis of internal evidence I had reached the
conclusion that the abbe Robin was not Claude C.
Robin when I found a remark of A. L. Boimare sup-
porting this view. Boimare settled in New Orleans
in 1825 and probably had the opportunity of learning
something about Claude C. Robin from people who had
known him while he was there. Boimare published in
the 1850's a brief bibliography of materials on Louisi-
ana history, but this was virtually unknown until its
republication in 1917. He states that there has been a
confusion of identity. For his statement see Louisiana
historical quarterly, v. 1, no. 2 (Sept., 1917), p. 59-60.

This is sufficiently rare to make it difficult to find
even imperfect copies. The W. L. Clements Library'
owns what seems to be a complete copy; I am indebted
to Dr. Randolph G. Adams for this detailed description.
The first leaf is a general title-page covering both
anecdotes; it contains neither author nor imprint. This
is followed by a plate: the engraving of a touching
scene with the legend "ah Mamma Mamma! je ne le
reverrai plus." The title-page for the first anecdote
then follows with the name of the author, publisher,
and the date. "A mes lecteurs," p. [l]-2; "Aux
Americains," p. 3-4; "A Miss Nancy," p. 5-7;
"Adraste et Nancy...," p. [9]-143. Page [145] con-
tains the title of the second anecdote. It is followed
by: "Preface," p. [147]-149; "Tonga et Peggy Nyre-
don...," p. 151-192; "Errata," 1 p. at end.
The author is said to have been an officer in the
marine who fought in the War of the Revolution during
1779 and 1780.

the 1850s when it is possible that he might have visited
Texas. J. S. Reeves, an authority upon French exiles
in America, states that his book contains much historical
background and that, despite its fictional form, it has a
considerable historical value.

1291
The author was a royalist, an aristocrat, and an
ardent Catholic, as was the comte O'Mahony, to whom
the letters were addressed and who contributed the
important preface to the two volumes. The letters are
seventeen in number and are dated from January IS,
1832, to August 15, 1833. Some of them were first
published in the Invariable at Fribourg, Switzerland.
According to the author and to the comte O'Mahony
France stupidly contributed to the establishment of a
democratic and republican United States, an illusion
that had already endured some fifty years. But during
that time there have been "only superficial tales and
falsehoods, published by travellers who were blind or
by publicists who were hypocrites." The author at-
tempts to give a complete picture of American life,
institutions, and government and in order to document
his attacks he skillfully draws many of his materials
from American newspapers; in the words of the
preface: "...alors il suffit d'enregistrer les aveux
naifs qui leur echappent et dont leurs innombrables
journaux se font les depositaires, pour presenter, de
leur caractere national, de leurs moeurs, de leur gou-
vernement, une satire plus sanglante que personne n'au-
rait ose le faire d'apres ses propres impressions..."
and from this novel method the conclusion is: "II en est
resulte pour cet ouvrage purement historique. . .le plus
haut degre d'authenticite qu'aucune histoire ait jamais
presente..." Much the same method was adopted by
H. L. Mencken almost a century later when he created
an Americana section of the American Mercury. I
think the limitations of such sources are obvious to the
modern reader, yet these two volumes are among the
really valuable accounts of America in the early years
of the nineteenth century. Saint-Victor came to the
United States shortly before de Tocqueville sailed back
to France and was here during the same period as was
Michel Chevalier; it is interesting to compare the ob-
servations and conclusions of these three observers.

Saugrain de Vigni, Antoine Francois.
Saugrain (1763-1820), born of a long line of printers
and booksellers, received a thorough scientific education
before coming to America where he entered the service
of the King of Spain in mineralogical investigations.
He returned to France but was never able to escape
the lure of the wilderness. Brissot de Warville says
FRENCH TRAVELLERS IN THE UNITED STATES
85
that Saugrain returned to the United States in 1787
with a M. Piquet, a botanist and philosopher. Together
they explored Kentucky and parts of the Ohio Valley,
studying botany and seeking sites for French colonies.
Saugrain was interested in mining and found much
iron, lead, copper, and silver. Wherever he was he
seemed to establish a small furnace and made ther-
mometers and barometers, which he sold. Saugrain was
appointed a doctor in the army by Jefferson; he later
settled in St. Louis, where he was the first doctor
to employ vaccination. His unpublished manuscripts
have been partly printed in several recent articles and
pamphlets.

The shipwreck of which Savardan writes was that
of the colony at Reunion. This book is a detailed history
of the movement in France which resulted in the
formation of the Societe de colonisation europeo-ameri-
caine au Texas and of Victor Considerant's colony at
Reunion. Savardan was the doctor of the colony. He
sailed from Le Havre February 28, 1855 and came
back to France at the end of October, 1857. Having
once determined to return to France, he travelled
overland to New York to take passage. Leaving Re-
union he travelled by the following route: Fort Smith,
Napoleon, Cairo, Niagara Falls, New York. Savardan
attempts to give a complete picture of the colony in
Texas, for which it is of the greatest value. I It-
makes interesting observations on other parts of Texas
and on the Indians.

Schiirmann was born at Rotterdam, but came to
Paris. He wrote in French. He was the impresario for
Eleanora Duse, to whom this volume is dedicated. The
Library of Congress suggests that the volume was pub-
lished in 1896, but the internal evidence suggests and
Lorenz (xix, 617) verifies 1900 as the date of pub-
lication.

Simond, Louis.
Journal of a tour and residence in Great
Britain, during. . .1810 and 1811, by a French
traveler [Louis Simond] . . . New York: Pub-
lished for the author, T. & W. Mercein, printers,
1815. 2 v. xiii, 377; 360 p. 8�. 1315
Simond was born in France and came to the United
States about 1789 and engaged in the shipping busi-
ness. He states that during the war, beginning in 1793,
he owned twenty-four American vessels: together more
than 5,000 tons. He and his wife, an Englishwoman,
went to England in December, 1809. A few friends
persuaded him to publish the journal of his English
tour and residence; before this time he had published
nothing. I have discovered no single book or pamphlet
entirely devoted to the United States by this interesting
author. His book on England and Scotland contains
scattered references to the United States, for he often
compares English and American conditions. In his
discussion of Liverpool there is a discussion of Ameri-
can commerce (i, 243-253). The above journal was
first written in English, was published in New York
and London in 1815, republished with additional ma-
terial in Edinburgh in 1817; a French edition was pub-
lished in Paris in the same year. These various editions
are available in the NYPL and the LC. It is to be
regretted that Simond never wrote a volume on the
United States; it is probable that it would have been
of considerable interest.

La grande aventure: l'epopee du comte de

Paris: Payot, 1926. 253 p. in-8. 1352
This study is to a considerable degree based upon
the manuscript correspondence of the comte de Raous-
set-Boulbon. The author prints as an appendix to this
volume four letters written by Raousset-Boulbon from
San Francisco from April 16, 1853 to January 25,
1854. Raousset-Boulbon was a romantic figure. He
was in distress in Paris when news of the California
gold rush first came to the French public. He responded
at once and sailed for California with borrowed money.
He arrived in San Francisco in 1850, but when in the
course of several years even San Francisco began to
take on aspects of civilization Raousset-Boulbon moved
to Sonora. There he sought to exercise his newly-
discovered political genius by attempting to establish
a French colony. His melancholy failure had even a
touch of grandeur about it. He was executed by the
Mexican authorities, Aug. 12, 1854.

Tapox-Foujas, F.
Certainly we have no evidence of a more curious
traveller than this French-Belgian journalist who might
have just stepped out of a comic opera to enter the
United States, where he arrived in 1853 at New York
City. According to his autobiographical account he was
born at Roanne, France, in 1810. He worked in a bank,
then taught school, later went into industry, and finally
into the insurance business. Possibly it was an insur-
ance scandal that sent him into journalism. He went
to Brussels in the early 1850's and there he gained the
reputation of an eccentric and the title of "le respectable
maniaque." Coming to New York in 1853, he sought
to visit his mother and brother and to warn the United
States against the Pope and the plots of the Jesuits. In
New York City on Jan. 28, 1854 he published the first
number of L'Anti-Pape, a newspaper in folio, written,
published, and sold by himself. This French newspaper
struggled through seven issues, the last appearing May
14 of the same year. This was followed by seven num-
bers of Le Petit Figaro (gr. in-4), the first appearing
June 25, 1854. Everywhere he thought that he was
followed by "the bloodhounds of the Jesuits." He was
surrounded by spies and even shopkeepers tried to starve
him by refusing to sell him food. In 1855 he left "la
terre classique du puff, du hombugg et du chantage"
and returned to Brussels where he was followed by the
implacable hatred of his enemies. During the six
years that followed he said that he wrote ten thousand
lines of verse and between 25 to 30 acts of his "re-
forming dramas." He could not sell his plays; and his
enemies prevented his selling a single copy of his books.
He had all his literary productions carefully registered
at the Hotel de Ville, where Dr. Maurice Chazin first
found them, and to this precaution he owes his tem-
porary success in his great struggle against oblivion.
From 1857 to 1861 he published at Brussels, Crispin,
revue critique et litteraire, a weekly for which he
wrote all the articles, signing them with different names.
Crispin in 1861 became La Nouvelle Menipee, journal
satire en vers, which survived from January 15 to May
10, 1861. His writings were heavy and incredibly dull
and we can sympathize with the newspaper editor who
said that if he printed the stuff that Tapon-Foujas
turned out he would lose five thousand subscribers in a
month. His writings are chiefly based on his experi-
ences in New York, especially in journalistic circles
there. Poor Tapon-Foujas could never understand why
pensions, decorations and membership in the Academy
were denied him.

The comte de Tilly did not complete his memoirs to

terials on his stay in the United States will be found
in v. 3, p. 243-256.
It is not clear why he came to America in 1797 nor
can the exact date of his arrival be established. He
was intimate with the vicomte de Noailles, through whom
he was introduced to the wealthy Bingham family of
Philadelphia. He succeeded in marrying the daughter,
Maria Mathilda Bingham in April, 1799. The family
became enraged; the couple separated in June and in
July a cash settlement of �5,000 sterling and an annual
"rente" of �500 persuaded the comte de Tilly to leave
America in July, when he sailed for England.

Tixkkr. Edward Larocque, continued
work on Louisiana writers in French during the nine-
teenth century. It is arranged in the form of a bio-
graphical dictionary which contains extensive biblio-
graphical notes. Mr. Tinker has also compiled a bibli-
ography of the French newspapers and periodicals of
Louisiana which is scheduled for publication during
1933 by the American Antiquarian Society. An intro-
duction will contain the history of journalism in Louisi-
ana and the bibliographical notes will cover 137 papers
published in New Orleans and 107 papers published
in the various parishes.
The value of both these volumes is increased by
the author's liberal quotations from the writings which
he lists.

Relation d'un voyage en Afrique et en

Impr. de D. Gerard, 1821. 63 p. in-16. 1435
Copy: The NYPL possesses a photostat copy of a
unique copy of this book discovered in the Bibliotheque
Royale de Belgique at Brussels by Dr. Maurice Chazin.
It contains valuable manuscript notes made by Ch. van
Hulthem, to whom this copy was presented at The
Hague, March 1, 1822. From these notes we learn that
the voyage was made during 1802-1805, that the
pamphlet was privately printed and never offered for
sale, and that Madame ***** was, at the time of
the voyage, Mile, van Uitenhage de Mist, who later
married General De Howen and that it was while he
was in garrison at Namur that this little item was
printed.

This manuscript has been edited from the original
in the BN by Eugene Grisell. The original manuscript
carries the title: "Voyage au continent americain par
un fran^ois en 1777 et reflexions philosophiques sur
ces nouveaux republicans." Only selections from the
early part of the manuscript have been published;
this was intended to be the first article of a series,
but the review itself ceased publication before the
second installment was printed. This anonymous trav-
eller arrived in Charlestown in June, 1777 and later
went to Philadelphia. He gives interesting and valu-
able observations on the negroes, the Quakers, re-
ligion, commerce, and social customs. It is to be hoped
that this manuscript will find publication in full.

smith of Lectoure, has successively played the roles of
Colonel, Consul, Ambassador, and Chevalier of all the
Orders." He became associated with John Henry, a
political blackmailer, and together they went to Wash-
ington in 1812. They deceived officials there, including
the French ambassador, and left with a large sum
of money. Adams publishes several documents by Sou-
biran on his "mission" as well as a letter from Serurier
and other documents.

Allain, Madame Frederic.
After the first sheets of this bibliography had been
Srinted I learned from Mr. Edward L. Tinker that
Ime. Allain was the Creole who wrote Souvenirs
d'Amerique et de France. Hence item 1353 should be
catalogued under Allain. The author employed several
forms of her name. See also Acquin-Allain, Helene
d'.
Alliot, Paul.

primerie de Ve. Feutray, 1803.) 8 p. 4�. 1501
There is a seemingly unique copy of this interesting
pamphlet in LC, by whose kindness I am enabled to
give these details concerning it. This memorial de-
scribes the cruel and illegal imprisonment of Alliot
by the Spanish authorities for no other cause than the
jealousy of rival doctors. The author relates his pro-
fessional career and his knowledge of medicine. The
author evidently completed it in prison for it is signed:
Aux prisons de Pontaniou. a Lorient, ce 26 Messidor
an onze [15 July 1803]. It has no title-page, but the
first page carries the heading as above described. The
author sent it to Jefferson together with another manu-
script, his historical and political reflections on Louisi-
ana. Alliot's letter to Jefferson is dated April 14, 1804,
from New York. The pamphlet is now to be found in
the Thomas Tefferson Papers, Feb. 28 - March 17,
1801, folios 18861-18864.

Historical and political reflections on Louisi-

editor, Louisiana under the rule of Spain,

Translated from the original manuscript in LC and
edited with copious notes by James A. Robertson. Both
the French and the English text are published. Alliot
was a physician in New Orleans when he was de-
ported to France, where he was imprisoned at Lorient
until finally released by the French government. He
then returned to New York where he presented these
reflections to President Jefferson. The notes contain
Alliot's interesting letter to Tefferson dated April 14,
1804 (p. 145-149).

Chasles, Victor Euphemion Philarete.
Chasles was, like Laboulaye, one of the gifted
Frenchmen who, by their lectures and writings, did
much to interpret nineteenth-century America to France.
But he was never, I regret to state, in the United
States. Like Laboulaye he talked of coming to America,
but never came. This point was not established until
after the early pages of this bibliography which con-
tained items 398 to 401 had been printed. While those
items would occupy a conspicuous place in any com-
pilation of works relating to Franco-American relations
they have no place in a bibliography confined to
French travellers. It is a matter for interesting specu-
lation that the two French writers, Laboulaye and
Chasles, who admittedly possessed a wide and pro-
found appreciation of the United States (greater than
that of many of their travelled contemporaries), were
never in America.

The Library of Congress states that the first edition
of this work was published at Bordeaux and Paris in
1768, but neither the BN nor the BM would seem to
possess any edition earlier than 1770. Dubois-Fontanelle
is said to be the editor of the narrative of Viaud. How-
ever, the history of this item is not clear, and it is
possibly an imaginary voyage.
The shipwreck is supposed to have occurred on the
coast of Florida. February, 1766.

Earlier numbers of this periodical have the title

To my knowledge the only complete set of this
interesting periodical in Xew York City is that pre-
sented to the New York Society Library by Dr. Peter
Irving. The first four letters are dated from Boston
from May 15 to July 5, 1802; the two concluding
letters do not have dates. The letters discuss the fol-
lowing: colonial history, institutions, establishment of
the Constitution, party politics, morals, customs, Fourth
of July celebration, theatres, marriages, women, and
funerals.

1573
The question of the authorship of this early and
valuable book on the American Indians is ably dis-
cussed by Paul Hazard in his "L'Auteur d'Oderahi,
Iiistoire americaine," published in La Revue de lit-
terature comparee (Paris, 1923), in, 407-418, avail-
able in NYPL (NAA). There he has shown that
Palisot de Beauvois is probably the author. He came
to Philadelphia from Santo Domingo in 1791 and re-
mained there until 1793. He again returned to the
United States in 1793 and remained until 1798. While
in the United States during this second visit he travelled
widely gathering information on the fur trade, agri-
culture, and natural history.
Despite the publication of M. Hazard's article con-
fusion has persisted concerning this book. The NYPL
card bears the notation: "The first edition of Chateau-
briand's Atala, which evidently suggested this imitation,
appeared in Paris in 1801." But the facts are otherwise.
If either is an imitation, it is Chateaubriand who has
copied Oderahi. M. Hazard has carefully examined
the chronology. The date of the first appearance of
Oderahi is not known, but it was included -as a part
of a collection, Veillees americaines, of which the second
edition was published in Paris in 1796. Due to the
success which greeted Atala it was published separately
in 1801. M. Hazard states that the BN copy of Oderahi
bears the manuscript notation: 25 thermidor an ix
[August 13, 1801].

Pichon, Louis Andre.
Pichon was the French charge d'affaires in Wash-
ington before the arrival of Turreau as minister in 1804.
His attitude was frequently sympathetic toward the
American government and mildly hostile toward that
of France. For this reason he was removed and retired
to private life. Henry Adams quotes several excerpts
from his unpublished reports to the French govern-
ment and from 1801 to 1803 makes frequent use of
materials supplied by Pichon.

Serurier, Louis Barbe Charles.
In 1811 Serurier succeeded Turreau as French
minister to the United States. Henry Adams has made
extensive use of his unpublished diplomatic corre-
spondence in the archives of the French government.
He sometimes quotes considerable excerpts from them.
D. C. Haskell has brought to my attention the fact that
Adams has made a serious mistake in calling the
French minister "Jean Matthieu Philibert Serurier."
The individual of this name was a marechal in the
French army and was never in the United States.
It was his nephew, Louis Barbe Charles Serurier, who
was the minister. Other writers, following Adams, have
repeated this mistake.

Turreau de Linieres, Louis Marie, baron.
Turreau was French minister to the LTnited States
from 1804 to 1811 when he was succeeded by Serurier.
Turreau was the first minister to be sent here from
France following the recall of Adet in 1797. Henry
Adams has utilized much material from Turreau's un-
published diplomatic correspondence and included many
quotations from his dispatches.

French Travellers in the United
States 1765-1932
Being:
A Supplement to a Bibliography by Frank Monaghan*
By Samuel J. Marino
The compiler initiated this project with the thought in
mind of revising the original Monaghan list. Two things changed
the plan: one, the omissions in Monaghan were almost nil and
the additions were not many; two, the reprint edition** planned
for publication after May 1, 1959 (as Penny Book 20, G. K.
Hall & Company, Boston, Massachusetts). Therefore, the solu-
tion is this list of the work to date.
It should be noted that the list does not claim completeness.
Researchers are advised to check the University of Virginia
where a number of theses and dissertations have been written
on the French in America, "including," writes Reference Libra-
rian Harvey Deal, "French travelers to this country during the
period 1775-80 and 1860-1955," [and] "the Library has a good
collection of travel narratives written by French visitors to this
country since the end of the Second World War."

* New York Public Library, 1933. "Reprinted with additions and
revisions from the Bulletin of the New York Public Library of March-April
& June-October 1932."
Because of its exhaustiveness and its descriptive comments, the
Monaghan list has been an indispensable aid to scholars in the field of
French- Americana.
