Manuscript, in a single hand with numerous corrections, of a collection of 15 letters describing life in England, translated into French, possibly from German. The letters discuss English lotteries; the proliferation of newspapers; the constitution and the difficulty of reconciling ideology with practice; Parliamentary elections; literary societies; and the nobility. One letter describes and deplores the cruelty of amusements such as hunting, cock-fighting, and "combats des gladiateurs"; another letter mocks an English law against the illegal wearing of buttons. A letter dated December 14, 1790 discusses the possibility of the abolition of the slave trade; the author declares it is the most talked-of subject of conversation and expresses his astonishment that the trade still exists and The letters are followed by a lengthy essay explaining the Women's March on Versailles on October 5-6, 1789. The volume is prefaced by a note by the translator, who criticizes the motives of many travel writers; says that he was drawn to this letter-writer for his curiosity and interest in humanity; and explains that the writer published two volumes, the first of letters written in Paris and Versailles during the revolution in 1789, and the second of letters in England

A woman facing left under an enormous coiffure. Within her hair several scenes illustrate the progress of the American war for independence. At the top, an American fort exchanges fire with British cannon. Flags over the fort bear images of a crossbow and a crocodile, while above the British fly images of a donkey and a fool's cap and bells. Fields of tents are shown further down, together with files of soldiers and a covered waggon. At the very bottom of the hair, soldiers in boats row towards 2 sailing ships, an allusion to Howe's March 1776 evacuation of Boston
