First published in 1781, this work of the Abbe Raynal (1713-69) is
the English translation of the last volume of his widely known and
influential Philosophy and Political History of the East and West
Indies which first appeared in 1770. Raynal's work begins with a
description of the distressed state of England in 1763 and her
calls for help from the colonies in the build-up to the war.
Written during the Revolution itself, the book speculates about the
ending of the conflict in chapters entitled 'What ought to be the
politics of the House of Bourbon, if victorious' and 'What idea
should be formed of the thirteen united provinces'. Raynal's work
was heavily criticised by, among others, Thomas Paine, who
published A Letter Addressed to the Abbe Raynal on the Affairs of
North-America (also reissued in this series) in 1782, correcting
what he perceived as Raynal's mistakes and false assumptions.
