CHAMBON M. (XVIII secolo) - Traité général du commerce de l'Amérique. Amsterdam: Marc-Michel Rey, 1783.

A study copy in fine binding of this important treatise which analyzes in detail the trade between France and the Atlantic colonies, Canada, Louisiana and the Antilles. The author then describes in detail the slave trade on the Guinean coasts providing not only data, but describing in detail the diplomatic and commercial practice and uses to be held with local populations. An excellent repertoire of data for studying the colonial economy of the late 18th century.
