In 1795, he and five associates began a tour which covered much of the northern United States and Upper Canada. They crossed the Niagara River to Fort Erie and also saw Fort Chippawa. From there they travelled to Newark, Canada where they were entertained by Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe. Their trip was cut short when they were prohibited from entering Lower Canada. Insulted, François Alexandre Frédéric returned to the US and, in 1799, his exile ended, he returned to France. (Wikipedia). He was "Elected to the states-general of 1789 he sought in vain to support the cause of royalty while furthering the social reforms he had at heart. On the 12th of July, two days before the fall of the Bastille, he warned Louis XVI. of the state of affairs in Paris, and met his exclamation that there was a revolt with the answer, ?Non, sire, c?est une révolution.? On the 18th of July he became president of the Assembly. Established in command of a military division in Normandy, he offered Louis a refuge in Rouen, and, failing in this effort, assisted him with a large sum of money. After the events of the 10th of August 1792 he fled to England, where he was the guest of Arthur Young, and thence passed to America." (Encycl. Britannica). Sabin, 39056.

Livre Edition originale
Couverture rigide. Etat : Bon. Edition originale. 8 volumes in-8 (190 x 120 mm), illustrés de 3 cartes gravées sur cuivre et 9 tableaux dépliants. Veau moucheté, roulette dorée en encadrement, dos lisse orné, pièce de titre et de tomaison en maroquin noir, tranches jaunes (reliure de l'époque). Sabin, 39056. Édition originale. Humaniste, ouvert aux progrès agricoles et industriels, François Alexandre Frédéric, duc de La Rochefoucauld avait fondé une ferme modèle et des écoles à Liancourt. Membre de l'Académie des Sciences et de la Société d'Agriculture de Paris, il participa à la fondation de l'Ecole nationale des Arts et Métiers. Il émigra pendant la Révolution, passant d'abord en Angleterre, puis séjournant aux Etats-Unis pendant trois ans. Il parcourut le pays étudiant les ressources économiques, la constitution, les différentes classes de la société américaine, les moeurs des habitants. La relation de son voyage, écrite dans un style précis et simple, est émaillée d'observations importantes pour la connaissance des Etats-Unis à la fin du XVIIIème siècle. Les trois cartes gravées montrent les Provinces septentrionales, les Provinces méridionales, et L'Amérique septentrionale divisée en ses 17 provinces. Les 9 tableaux dépliantes (dont 8 dans le dernier volume) donnent des détails sur le corps législatif, le sénat, et d'autres institutions de la démocratie américaine. Bel exemplaire, malgré une petite auréole en tête du volume I. (inv 14293).
