A propos de cet article

This is Volume 6 of The Facsimile Text Society's Series I: Language and Literature volumes. The text of both the French language and English language versions of this work are included, with the French language text appearing first in this volume. [14], 68, [4], 50, iii, [1] pages.

It was a political tool used by Lafayette and it was a favor provided by Cooper, in recognition of Lafayette's ''claim upon his [an American's] gratitude is to distinct and durable, to suffer feelings of hesitation to interfere with the execution of what is right in itself, when you are pleased to require him to act in that great cause to which you have devoted a long and useful life."
