On the Threshold of Liberty: Journal of a Frenchman's tour of the American Colonies in 1777. Translated from the original manuscript by Edward D. Seeber. Published 1959 by Indiana University Press. Library-bound navy blue buckram hardcover, index, 172 pp., 8vo. Journal translated from French into English and provided with minimal editorial annotation. Written in an epistolary format, but obviously written for publication by an anonymous traveller from France, the primary interest of this "journal" is the insight it provides into contemporary European public opinion and perspectives on the new American colonies. Condition: Ex-Libris exterior and interior markings. Book is complete and intact, with solid binding. Cover and interior pages are in very good condition.
