Edition Notes
Author's name from Barbier (and from portrait)
Originally published Amsterdam, 1770.
Edition in 7 volumes in octavo, with 19 books of text, 4 folded maps designed by Rigobert Bonne, a frontispiece illustration in each volume and a portrait of Raynal in v.1.
According to various sources, the following persons provided substantial information and collaborated with Raynal in the writing of the text: Denis Diderot; Jean Pechméja; Paul Henri Dietrich Holbach; Paulze; J. Dutasta; and abbé Martin.
Authorship of book 19 (v.7: p. [143]-303) sometimes exclusively assigned to Alexandre Deleyre; other sources state text partly written by Raynal and partly by Deleyre, while yet different sources report Deleyre as editor of book 19. A different edition of v.7 published under the same title and by the same publisher, Maastricht, 1774, and intended as a supplement to earlier editions consisting of 6 volumes, includes additional text to v. 1-6 and the text of book 19.
Vignette on title pages.
Half titles for v. 1-7 read: Histoire philosophique et politique. Tome premier [-septieme]. Half title for book 19 (v.7: p. [143]) reads: Tableau de l'Europe.
Numerous errors in paging.
Plates (12) unnumbered.
