Book Description

Excerpt from Observations on the Importance of the American Revolution and the Means of Making It a Benefit to the World Having reason to hope I should be attended to in the American States, and thinking I faw an opening there favourable to the improvement and best interests of mankind, I have been induced to convey thither the sentiments and advice contained in the following Observations. They were, therefore, originally intended only for America. The danger of a spurious edition has now obliged me to publish them in my own country. I should be inexcusable did I not take this opportunity to express my gratitude to a distinguished writer (the Count de Mirabeau) for his translation of these Observations into French, and for the support and kind civility with which it has been accompanied. Mr. Turgot's letter formed a part of this tract when it was conveyed to America. I have now given a translation of it.
