Septieme Lettre. Peche de la Baleine, vol. ii, pp. 147-157. 



This is a much altered and enlarged version, more or less changed throughout, rather than 

 a "translation," as the title-page implies, of the "Letters from an American Farmer" (Lon- 

 don, 1782), with a dedication to the Marquis de Lafayette, which is dated "New Yorck, 24 

 Septemhre 1781," and signed "L'auteur & Traducteur," with, in manuscript, the word "Cre- 

 vecoeur " added in the copy examined. The matter relating to the Nantucket "Whaleflshery 

 is substantially the same as that of the English ed. of 1782 (q. v.), of which it is, however, by 

 no means a strict translation. [382.]
